Good evening all,

As for our future franchise QB, a lot of you know what camp I'm in. I like Love, but he's all but surely out of our reach this year. We don't have to discuss that in this fanpost. Nothing is done until it is done, but I am pretty disappointed about our unlikelihood of drafting him. It seems our franchise QB is not in this draft. However, I've stumbled upon the so-far almost unknown QB3 of the 2021 draft.

1. Trevor Lawrence

2. Justin Fields

3. Trey Lance

North Dakota State University (same as Carson Wentz if that has any relevance)

Pros: Good size at 6'3" 221lbs. Impressive stats: Completion percentage: 66.9%, 28 TDs, 0 int. Possesses the God-Given Arm Talent I personally covet so much. Every blade of grass can be challenged when he is on the field. Ball pops out of his hand. Shows an accelerated and still accurate release when under pressure. Athletic, a duel-threat to run, doesn't shy from contact. 1100 yards rushing 14 TDs.Ability to extend plays by moving laterally from the pocket. Natural thrower while on the run. Can change his arm-angle for a more optimal release. Impressive intermediate and deep ball accuracy. Shows touch with the deep ball and throws with good anticipation.

Cons: As I said above, he doesn't shy from contact. More like he welcomes and initiates it, he runs like Cam Newton and that presents an injury concern. In-the-pocket movement is bad. Sometimes he stands completely still, doesn't climb. Processing looks to be a bit slow and he compensates with his arm-talent, that won't work in the NFL. Footwork needs consistency, will sometimes throw off-platform when he has time to set his feet, will sometimes look robotic with his legs. Plays against Tier 2 competition.

Cons for our purposes* He's a sophomore at NDSU. Not eligible until next year obviously, and he may even play his senior season. This presents opportunity for a Jordan Love-esque regression in his next one or two years. Also presents the opportunity a big name school comes knocking and he enters the transfer portal. Limited tape of him on youtube's easy access. We know nothing about his character.

Final thoughts: Like you know, I've been a defender of Love since before the season ended. From the very limited tape I've seen of Lance, I like Lance more. I like him more than Fields. If we don't draft Love this year, I'll hold out hope for this kid. If we draft Lance next year, I'll be ecstatic. I'll be watching him closely during the next college football season. It's two years out, but I'm head over heels for this kid.

I didn't make this video so beware there's a very folk country song in the beginning, if you're not a country fan like me. But honestly, I got used to it and it wasn't all that bad.

His mic drop throw is at the 5:30 mark.

Let me know your thoughts.
