Again, I have no idea what Kyler Murray has to do with Justin Fields. Two different people, players, coaches, teams, conferences. You are seriously arguing there is no doubt Fields will be better than Kyler Murray, Trevor Lawrence, Haskins, Newton, and all the other Heisman winners and elite QBs of the last generation, on the word of some recruiting website’s analysis?
It’s perfectly feasible to think Morgan could throw for similar or more yards than Fields. Our QBs combined for about 2700 yards last year. It’s reasonable to think he could top that number by a fair margin, and reasonable to think Fields will fall far short of Haskins. Maybe he’ll do better than Haskins - the point is I don’t know. We have a couple other 5 star QBs and a few other very impressive QBs in the Big Ten that have already put up numbers and should be better next season.
OK Bob, what metric are you going to use: total yards, completion percentage, TD/Int ratio, QBR, passer rating, what? How are we going to determine a “winner” here?
(1) Where on earth did I ever say that Fields will be better than Kyler Murray, Lawrence, Haskins and Newton? Where? LOL. Please answer that question.
Just to lay it out there. I do NOT believe Fields will be as good as Murrary, Lawrence, Haskins or Newton. But where are you getting this from?
(2) You have no idea why I'm bringing up Kyler Murrary? I really hope you're pretending to be this dense.
> They were highly coveted QBs who backed up great QBs (Mayfield at OU / Fields at UGA)
> Murray, because he was stuck behind Mayfield, played very little in 2017.
> Fields, because he was stuck behind Fromm, played very little in 2018.
> Read this closely - - I am not saying that Fields will be as good or better than Murray (see my first post), I am saying that the fact that Fields didn't play much last year is NOT an indictment against Fields because even great QBs, like Murray, have a hard time seeing the field when backing up other great upperclassmen.
(3) I understand it's a possible for Fields to throw for more yards than Morgan or throw for less yards than Morgan. I'm asking you which do you think is more likely? Your argument is insanely stupid, it's the equivalent of saying "there is a 50/50 chance that the Timberwolves in the NBA Championship because either they will or they won't". I understand those are two possibilities, I'm asking you, which one do you think is more likely? It's odd you can't answer.
(4) Whichever metric you want to use! I never called anyone a winner, I don't know why you're quoting me on that. But I literally gave you the metrics (TD and yards).
Here is the entire point of it, I'll repeat: "I brought up Morgan because he is a somewhat known quantity, he has experience and he played in real games. I was seeing how far you would go with your stance that you cannot judge a player who has not played in real games (Fields) with a player who has experience (Morgan)."
This works for any metric. You can predict the stats of an unknown entity (Fields) and compare it against a known entity (Morgan). It's possible. You're pretending like it isn't. This is the entire point of the Morgan comparison, I'm trying to get you to project how well a relatively unknown entity is in comparison against a known. That's it.
I think you're just pretending now.
