Just imagine what UGA would look like if they had Fields. That team would be a monster.
In all honesty though, what games did Brady or Wilson win on their own? With both of those guys it is work ethic.Bringing up future hall of fame guys to prove a point is as silly as saying wait till the 6th round to pick a QB because that's where Brady fell to. The facts are what they are, Fromm doesn't win games on his own there at Georgia, he is reliant on a strong supporting cast. Do you think Fromm would excel like Wilson in rain capital of the US, Seattle with the line they've had over the years ?
I have seen Games where Fromm looks really food.Then I watched a few with a ugh.
All I can say is Matthew Stafford.
One question CK,
why are we getting caught up in comparing burrows arm to fromms? Why is burrow your dump guy when comparing other prospects arms to him? I understand you believe it isn’t of NFL caliber (largely).
I know you seem to like Fromm more than most, but do you really think they are true comparables?
if my gm wasdebating burrow and Fromm I’d feel... uneasy
He threw one kind of throw really perfectly last night, which is the same throw he always throws really well, back of the shoulder, outside of the numbers. How does he do when he has to throw something else, answer is, it's hit and miss.
He's great pre snap and he's been a large part of why that line has been the best line in College all season, he's got the intangibles you look for in a QB but from a physical standpoint that are way too many questions.
So CK would you really take Fromm ahead of Burrow ? Would you use the 5th pick on him ?
Ahead of Burrow? No.
I'm always willing to gamble on a high ceiling, even if it means asking a guy to beat the odds with respect to some factor in a player's game (e.g. height, velocity). Joe Burrow has established a very high ceiling for himself with his performance this year, the way he's been able to consistently put it all together. He'll have to beat the odds with respect to his arm strength, but it's been done before. It's not even as unprecedented as was the case with Russell Wilson's height, and then Kyler Murray's height after him.
If I'm in need of a quarterback then I'm a market buyer on Jake Fromm and Jordan Love. I feel comfortable gambling on them.
