2021 QB draft game

Rock and hard place for Georgia there. Young talent vs the vet that got you there. But I agree. I really like his game!

I like Fields a lot, think he's still behind Lawrence though in terms of development and as a prospect. These two are going 1 and 2 in next year's draft though, that's why I think he's out of our reach, unless we've traded for a 1st of some awful team in 20, there is no way our coaching staff are getting us into a position to draft either of these guys next year.
 
Unless Houston falls on it's face, which I doubt. Or Fitz or Rosen just play terribly. I cannot see the Dolphins being in a position to draft them either.
 
To add to my previous post, assuming we are out of the picture for Fields or Lawrence because we will be too good. We are probably looking at a Brock Purdy or someone and if you saw his bowl game today, that wouldn't fill you with a lot of excitement.

Maybe Brock is our deliverance
 
Fromm might actually go back to Georgia and I still kind of like him when he plays well. Is not amazing, by any means. Ehlinger throws a decent ball. Will be interesting to see how it all unfolds.
 
Lawrence throws a hell of a ball and can use his legs to extend or make plays, he never panics even when a guy like CY was chasing him down. Only thing I will say having never seen him in person is he is more wiry strong than thick. Fields is a monster phyically but is behind in QB skills.

Lawrence is like an Aaron Rodgers and Fields is like a smaller Cam. Early hot take there but willbe interesting to see them go into next year. I assume they will be 1 and 2 in everything. Heisman, National Championship and Draft

Although both have had WR drop some passes...both look off tonight. Throwing low, short, high, and behind targets. Ohh, look at Lawrence's wheels there!

Agreed. I'm somewhat surprised at this thread. I thought both Lawrence and Fields were somewhat off all night. Dobbins dropped that second down screen pass clean but the earlier drop on the third and goal swing pass was not a good throw at all from Fields. There were numerous Fields throws all night a foot or two off from here they needed to be. I also thought he looked a bit bottom heavy and not as mobile as I expected in a game like that.

Lawrence looks awesome when his wingspan receivers are making surreal plays. When that's not available, like last night, he still has tremendous will to win. Yet some aspects look ordinary.

However, when I turn the page and watch NFL games the following day I'm reminded that NFL defenses no longer disqualify quarterbacks. Perfection is not required. Even flaws translate well to the NFL given restrictions on modern defenses.

Anyway, I predicted 5-11 here for the Dolphins this season. I didn't want to be correct. I always make that forecast in a thread here near the very end of the prior season, so I am relying on big picture criteria and not anything muddied later by the offseason and draft.

For next season I will predict 6-10. That would put the Dolphins out of reach of the top quarterback prospects. I suggest we do something this draft. As always I don't like to make this overly complicated. The Dolphins are not in bounce territory next season, not after winning 7 games in 2018 followed by 5 in 2019. With some teams you merely follow the bouncing ball, like the Chargers logically declining this season after overachieving the prior year. A switch of 3+ games from one season to the next is the trigger, as I have mentioned many times.

Ryan Fitzpatrick has a career winning percentage of roughly 40% as starter. The closest full season split to 40% is 6-10.

I'll go with that in 2020. Let everyone else worry about hundreds of variables.
