I kind of agree with you on that. It’s interesting though. Most of the “Way Too Early” 2021 mock drafts have Lance as a top 10 pick. Wonder if they are just seeing the stats, the athleticism, the young age and then remembering Carson Wentz and that is what is pushing his stock up with the mediaI just don't see Lance as a QB in the NFL. From the NDSU games I saw, he didn't seem to throw it at an elite level. He is athletic and can run for sure, but I didn't see him making a ton of pro-style passes.

Leidner?Very possible. I just remember watching that national title game this year and hearing so much hype about him - but then being surprised he seemed to be far more focused on running than trying to throw. Just checked the stats and he was 6-10 for 72 yards passing.
New Orleans.
Brees retires after 2023 season to become Saints OC.Yes.

You need to look at Lance's full body of work. His passing efficiently numbers are at the same level as Morgans (slightly higher), and his arm strength would seem to be significantly better. The big upside with Lance are his feet, where that would seem to be a liability with Morgan (- rushing yards), vs. 1100. I really like Morgan's command in the pocket however, I think he's a little ahead of Lance there. Lance had a unimaginable 0 interception year, throwing nearly 300 passes. That certainly is turning heads.
He’ll do just fine vs Oregon, but I wouldn’t judge anyone on just one game. You wouldn’t want to judge Morgan vs. only SDSU or Wisconsin last year, where he was pretty pedestrian.Lance didn’t put up those numbers against Penn State, Auburn, etc. Looking forward to seeing how he does against Oregon. Hopefully, that game doesn’t get cancelled.

Don’t you think the level of competition matters?
I think he is appealing because he has a lot of tools to work with. He has a strong arm, is mobile, and was only a redshirt freshman last year. I think we can all agree that Tanner Morgan improved a lot as a QB from his RS Fr to RS SO year. NFL scouts and execs love potential and he could be very good if he continues to develop as a passer. I don’t see him in the same tier as Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields, but he certainly has potential. I’m not saying he is gonna pan out, but he could likely be a high draft pick. The competition is a question, but the last two long term QBs they had there got drafted in Wentz and Easton Stick.I kind of agree with you on that. It’s interesting though.

Yes certainly, competition matters. Would love to see Lance play some games vs B1G.Don’t you think the level of competition matters?
SDSU finished 4th in NDSU’s league last year. They did not look outclassed at TCF last year, or like lesser competition. The top 5 in that league would all give MN a tough game. It’s certainly not the B1G, but a very physical league.I think he is appealing because he has a lot of tools to work with. He has a strong arm, is mobile, and was only a redshirt freshman last year.

They would have had a better chance in a pro-style offense. But your skills stand on their own when your trying to make an nfl roster.Leidner and Weber and q would be in the nfl had they chosen NDSU
