Pros-Cons of Top 5 QBs

[GimmedaBall]

ALL of the QBs coming out in this year’s draft have question marks concerning either their play, their personality, or measurable such as height and Wonderlic. The forum has been discussing Lamar Jackson on several threads. I think this is in part due to fact that of all the QBs he may still be on the board when the Cards pick at #15 or within reasonable trade value reach should the Cards decide to move up. LJ may be the biggest find---or the biggest bust---in this draft. Will a team commit to his style of play and install an offense that will take advantage of his skill set?

So, here’s a list of web pages that look at each of the top ‘5' guys at QB in this draft (Plenty more on the web but most repeat info in those listed):

One of those articles has an all time great line.

On the Cons list for Josh Allen: Bad at Football

Wonder how much of the commentary we get on the players in the draft is original observations and how much is simply one author 'researching' his content by doing a web search?

don7031 pointed out what looks to be an 'original' opinion with the comment that Josh Allen is 'Bad at Football.'

At least on Youtube you can view actual plays/performance and draw a conclusion. Got to do enough homework on a player to at least verify what all the columnists are reporting as the 'truth' about a given player.

While it doesn't hold any weight with him, he does admit at the end that almost all the most successful QB's in the NFL have had at least 25 on their Wonderlick. He does believe also that "Allen will suck" despite his score and other strenghs. Interesting when you consider he's not going to Clevland.
