Auburn game 2023

If you meant this tape to illustrate your negative points about JD it doesn't. For example, numerous plays on this tape clearly show him going through his progressions in the pocket. Also, going into his final season, he became laser focused on improving some of the deficiencies in his game and his body in an effort to get ready for the pro game. His HC said that JD routinely beat him into the training facility every morning at 5:00 A.M. and he made great strides. This young man is very talented, smart, coachable, and dedicated to work hard to get better. He has a big upside to his game.

I have no questions about his work ethic, character, or elite athletic ability.
I’m telling you, as someone who has watched every game he played at LSU, You are getting RG3.
As long as you go into it with eyes wide open, not butterflies in your stomach and head in the clouds, then you have made an informed decision. But, like RG3 I don’t believe he will become an elite passer. He is a RPO quarterback who’s first instinct it his legs.

But he is coachable and he learns fast. RGIII and his father actually met with the Skins HC and told the man which plays RGIII would not run.

I also noticed that JD was learning to get what he could out of a scramble and then slide or run out of bounds. RGIII couldn't even learn how to slide properly.

JD throws a gorgeous deep ball and he looks to be an accurate passer on other routes. With his work ethic and talent, I think he can become a top passer.

He may remind you of RGIII now but in time he may surpass what RGIII could have become.

Every thing you say here is fair, and I applaud your optimism.

For me, it boils down to this. Jayden Daniels is not a ready made NFL QB. By your own optimistic opinion, you think he may someday mature to be.

Now ask yourself this, is a project QB worth the #2 pick. Before you answer this, know that the #2 pick MUST BE a slam dunk. (Think how whiffing on Chase Young instead of picking Herbert or Tua sunk our ship as opposed to steep rising of fortunes)

Now, assuming that you see the logical fallacy of project QB at #2 is a huge gamble, but the VALUE of trading some other poor bastards that are enamored with said pick. That pick is Uber valuable, and can be parlayed into multiple high value picks that can immediately rebuild our team in a new and favorable position.

Just my 2 cents. HTTR

you are using too much hindsight in that statement, find a pre draft report of CY that didn't say he wasn't the best thing ever, everyone was all over his jock

We didn't pick Tau or Justin because ownership was in love with Haskins

Justin might have done well here, maybe. Tau has risen because of his current head coach, i am pretty sure Tau been a bust under RR

That's a key, do you have a QB whisperer on staff (or incoming...) that can get the best out of one of these guys. Mahomes and Reid, Brady and Bilichick, Walsh and Montana/Young, Gibbs and N.E. One. It doesn't matter how talented they are, if they are poorly coached they'll fail.

Johnson got a damned good season out of Goff, despite everyone having written him off once LA traded him. If he comes here, hopefully he can do the same, whoever we pick up.

I'll be shocked if they don't take a qb at 2.
