I feel you. I really do. I don't have faith in CW or JD like I don't have faith in Lamar to win a SB. Just that prototype of qb is not my preference and always worry about longevity. Drake Maye in the draft would be basically duplicating Sam in many ways (not just unc connection, but throwing power, accuracy and I feel like he had struggled reading defenses and I feel like NONE of the 3 can look off a corner or safety... Sam also better eacapability and wheels. Guy is very good at it.) which also seems pointless to me. I don't know it's tough. I will always back whoever we choose of course. I just don't see it... the hype reminds me of when we took chase young at #2 - i watched his tape and it really wasnt anything that special. All the holes in his game were on full display IMO. Running around tackles in college isnt really shit... i hated the pick... then he showed us flashes made some places, won ROY and then fell of because a lazy loaf injury or no injury. I see decent highlights on the qbs up for grabs but there tons of holes, too. Will they fix them? Who knows.... Also scarred from RG3 running qb I think lol.

I dunno. Just saw enough in Sam and really think if given a fair chance, last year was not that, he will develop into a very good long term qb in this league. Just the 2 cents but I feel the naysayers pov, too, understandable.
