Well, I never thought I'd do a 180 in a day, but I am. He is not ready and I really think all the hype caught up with him. I think he managed to play his way out of round 1, which produces a financial reason to stay another year.

Discuss.

sure didn't help his stock, hes a great damn player but I really think he needs to gain some more experience before making the jump, and I said that before this game. 1 season as TFR doesnt make him prepared

if im wrong Ill eat crow

He's gone. Might not be a first round pick but he's definitely getting drafted. Not going to risk that kind of money.

I sure hope that he stays.

His maturity level was tested today. Scouts (even before the opening kickoff), were likely watching that aspect just as closely as they were his abilities. How would he handle the off season hype?

Most of his misses, if not all, were long...which is more indicative of nervousness than missing short.

OH NOOO GO TREY GO!

he's gone 10000% this 1 game does not define his play. Watson catches that 50 YRD TD and no one bats an eye at stats.

when he gets to Indy and measures he will land TOP 10 easily. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

he is/was worried about getting hurt as was his family... he GONE and I dont blame him

If there are questions to his game it’s better they are raised prior to him declaring. I would hope the scouts/teams that were in attendance would give a fair assessment of what he’s looking at.

Another full season would really help him but 2020 kind of messed that up.

Today's game was far from Trey's best, but he still showed exceptional athleticism and popped on a couple throws. He's not as consistent as he needs to be accuracy wise, but he has all of the tools teams look for.

Coupling his performance last year with simply getting through today healthy, he will still be a first round pick if he declares. He won't leapfrog Lawrence, but I would not be surprised to see him drafted as the 2nd-4th QB this year (along with Justin Fields and Kyle Trask, who is looking great and I think will be a first rounder).

Unless the NFL moves the draft to like June 1 there is no way he is playing 25 plus games in fcs in 2021 then going to the draft in 2022.. that is way too much risk..

NFL scouts look at more than stats...he missed quite a few throws.
That being said, I agree, he's gone. The combine will be his chance to show his worth. There is not a guarantee that the spring season will even happen...who knows what the case will be after the winter sickness season kicks in.
He's still a top 3-4 QB in the draft no matter what, which is setting him up nicely for some $$$
Would be dumb for him to risk getting hurt over a possible spring season.

How cool would it be for Zeb to have an insane season, and get drafted?
Long shot , I know, but he stuck it out, and knew that he wasn't gonna play...until COVID happened. Now he has a chance to prove himself. The world works in mysterious ways sometimes. If he plays spring games (assuming they happen) and tears it up and we win another title, he could possibly get drafted. (although later rounds I'm sure)
We have history of QB's, so NFL scouts take that into account!
What other school could say their last 4 QB's all got drafted in the NFL?
Would be a pretty cool story

Best of luck to him!

We live in strange times.

I think Trey is a future NFL QB.

I think Trey isn't ready to be an NFL QB for a couple years.

I have no idea what I would do if I was Trey.

I wouldnt say he's top 3-4 no matter what. There are a lot of QB's playing this fall. The assumption was that he would be playing and maintaining a high level of play. Lots of guys are getting their shot at doing that now.

He may still end up being a top 3-4 guy, but thats not a certainty.

Yeah, but Todd McShay isn't going to be the one drafting and paying him. Not trying to knock TL. If you owned any business........would you be willing to hand out 1st round money to a kid who played basically 1 year of college football? Someone might do it, but most NFL teams follow what is called the Parcells Rule for drafting QBs. Trey is a great athlete who can throw the ball, but is he actually a great QB.......YET?

It's all about experience. Leaving for the NFL with only 1 season as a college QB rarely happens for a reason. NFL teams can't afford to draft a high 1st rounder and sit them for 2 years. Some teams can

After yesterday if I was a scout watching that game I'd want to see more again before telling my team this guy has NFL caliber talent but that's me.

He has talent I think he'll go this spring but he really is going to need a year or two behind someone before he could shine. If they need him to start right away could be a disaster.

He needs to decide if wants to be a solid 1st round pick or a possible #1 overall qb pick. If the later he waits till next year. It's that simple. At this point it's about the other qb in this years draft. What it is not about is yesterday's game.

Now with that being said, extra curricular activities could change things tho .....he is under a microscope and everything he does off the field will be looked at

JMB
10-04-2020, 04:38 PM
One of the advantages of staying (if he can improve his stock) is that the higher pick you are, the longer your leash. Very few teams will give up on a first round draft pick after a year. (For God's sake look at Treadwell). Now part of that is you were really good to start with but part of that is the equity the team has in you.

Waiting a year will basically add two seasons of college playing experience. Right now is it 17 games. By the end of the 2021 season it could be 45. Not saying he should wait, that is all his own decision to make.

TL has an extremely thin body of work to rate as a high draft pick and big $ immediately from an NFL team. Yesterday’s game counts a lot because it was TL’s big showcase and it was all about him. He needed to dominate with his arm and he did not do that very effectively. He certainly didn’t do much to improve his draft stock as an NFL quarterback. I love how Lance plays but let’s be honest, he was QB on the best team in FCS history and he had a lot of help building those stats. He has a lot to prove in the combine and other workouts before the NFL goes bonkers over him.

And then there is now the fact that Trey brings some unwanted baggage with his outspoken social activism. Like it ir not, the NFL would rather avoid controversy. With all of their posturing to support BLM, they are not looking to alienate any more fans.

Top 15 pick in 2021 draft with no other games played in college. Will not be back as it takes too long to make that kind of money up.

Yesterday's game meant next to nothing.

Agreed TD. It's up to TL does he want to try be the 1 top qb pick tho. That wont happen this year, but looking at next year's QBs it could. Does he trade top 15 money for possible top 3 money...1st qb drafted. I know what I would do, but it is an interesting added dynamic.

Again yesterday's game means very little in all of this.

The reason I did a 180 on this is NFL teams are rarely patient when they draft a QB really, really high. I think that is a HUGE danger for Trey that could shorten his career as I suspect he would need 2-3 years of time to mature. His is simply not ready to play early and I think there is a real risk it would shorten his career. Carson was a completely different situation as a 5th year senior with both more games and wisdom age brings under his belt.

I thought it was NUTS for anyone to advise him staying, but I am now firmly on that bandwagon.

10-05-2020, 02:43 AM
That game does not hurt him as much as people want to think
He’s EASILY STILL a top 10 pick - there were over 20 teams there, look at the other QBs that have been drafted in the first round the last couple years, like Jordan Love, Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, Haskins, etc - without trying the talk with green and yellow colored lenses, I’d take Trey after a game like yesterday’s over all those guys in a heartbeat.
And the game was stuff that’s correctable pretty quickly like over throwing a couple guys; where Trey is going solidify his value and hype is when it comes to demonstrating the mental aspect/reading defenses/leadership/intelligence/humbleness/ all on top of his ceiling skill set.
The game obviously didn’t go as expected, and more than just on him, but I don’t believe it hurt him anywhere near as much as folks want to think the game itself did.

The “game meant next to nothing”? There were 25 NFL scouts there to see Trey Lance. It was probably the most important game, draft wise, of his college career.

If he is confident that he is going in the first round, it's not much of decision.

It's a win-win. If he declares for the draft and goes in the first round, that's a huge win for the program. If he stays, well, duh - the guy is one of the greatest play makers I've ever seen.

Honestly guys Treys's game yesterday was most likely the best thing that could happen to him. Sliding from 2nd overall QB drafted to 3-5th qb drafted could be the difference between playing for a bottom dweller or getting drafted by a team that is going to be looking for a replacement for their star QB a couple years down the road. (Pittsburgh, Green Bay, New Orleans, New England....) Im not sure one bad game will scare off teams with great talent scouts like the perennial powerhouses. But may save him from being drafted by a team struggling to surround him with talent.

This is a solid take, could definitely see a team with an aging QB picking later in the first taking him to sit for a year maybe 2. Would be a perfect situation for him to take over the Steelers or Colts in a couple years.

Agreed, if the game meant nothing, then the scouts would not have been there. They would have been someplace else thinking to themselves they know all there is to know about TL. Makes me think of the Airplane movie where the guy is saying "move along, nothing to see here" as explosions are going off all around him. If the game meant nothing, then the NFL combine would mean nothing as well, but I bet TL goes to that. There is no such thing to NFL teams to make them think there is no downside to anything a potential prospect does or does not do. TL's stock can go up or down in a flash based on the lack of time he has had to prove himself. That being said......I still think he is a first rounder, but late in the first round is my guess. QBs like Carson Wentz and Steve McNair had college careers to justify high first round picks, TL had a college pit stop.

Anything in the 1st round and I'll still be shaking my head wondering if this is real life. 3 straight drafted QB's and 2 in the 1st round?!?! I think that would be the craziest prediction you could have made prior to the move to D1.

Championships are dominating at the FCS level. Straight FBS wins are competing at the next level up. The success NDSU has had sending QB's to the NFL is something top end FBS schools would struggle to keep up with. And with the offense NDSU runs that isn't a showcase for QB's, it's just nuts.

By luck or skill they've nailed the recruiting timelines. Hopefully NDSU can recover from Lance's success and early exit as I'm sure this throws off the succession plans. Landing Zeb as a transfer is a nice safety net but it definitely wasn't part of the plan as without Covid the timelines wouldn't have worked out.

It was? I don't recall Washington having any future QB while he was there. They traded for Alex Smith in 2018 to be their starter after it was evident that Cousins wouldn't be returning. I'd say his divorce with Washington had more to do with them being unable to come to a long term contractual agreement with each other. I don't think either side regrets their decision given how the last 2+ seasons have gone for each.

In any case I've never heard of Cousins being a bad mentor because he's never really been in a position to be a mentor by my recollection.

Well, I never thought I'd do a 180 in a day, but I am. He is not ready and I really think all the hype caught up with him. I think he managed to play his way out of round 1, which produces a financial reason to stay another year.

Discuss.

You should definitely go.

I'm a big Lance fan but I will say he has higher bust potential then Wentz did as a first rounder. That's not to say I think he will be, but with Wentz I thought the chance was basically 0%. If Trey did stick around for a couple more years I might have that same level of confidence, but after 1 year, I'm just not that sure.

The “game meant next to nothing”? There were 25 NFL scouts there to see Trey Lance. It was probably the most important game, draft wise, of his college career.Absolutely wasn't the most important anything of his career. The scouts had nothing but time and came to see with their own eyes if the hype is real and that is exactly what they saw. Identified open receivers. Check. Effortlessly flicked the ball downfield 70 yards. Check. Ran through, away from, and over defenders. Check. Picked up the blitz. Check. Move fluidly for a big young man. Check. Win a game. Check. Every mistake was correctable. Check.

There are idiots who think he had to throw for 600 yards and 7 TDs to move the needle. The needle was already moved. He confirmed everything after not playing a game for 9 months.

Nothing changed after Saturday. Lance probably gained a few more teams that just got way more serious about him and not just passive observers. He will not fall below 15.

Yeah, with Carson he played games where he put the team on his back and just won the game. The UNI game is where I knew that Carson was a not just a possible NFL prospect but elite level talent. Trey hasn't really had to deal with much adversity. The talent is obviously there, he played basically flawless football for a season...just a shame he didn't get some opportunities like the Oregon game.

You forgot the most important aspect of a QB. Accurate passer. He was awful in that department. Windows are very tight in the NFL and he struggled most of the day hitting guys who were wide open. I expected him to be much improved in that department because he’s had a ton of time to prepare. What did he pass for in The championship game against a good defense? 72 yards passing. Love Mr Lance. Wish him the best. But he needs to develop into a more consistent passer and will struggle bigtime at the NFL level right now. He can run but he is not dynamic like a Lamar Jackson

He had a couple of dimes that were dropped, but overall I'd agree his accuracy was off that game.

Entire reason I started this thread. I just don't think if I'm a NFL GM that I take him in round 1 right now UNLESS, I have a situation I can sit him at least 2 years behind a good starter. Most that draft a QB high don't fit that description.

I don't think NFL scouts value accuracy as much as other things like arm strength and mobility. Maybe it's because they think their coaches can teach accuracy but they can't teach arm strength or athleticism. QBs like Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson had accuracy concerns out of college and they're now thriving in the NFL. Another thing to keep in mind is Trey is only 20 years old and he won't even turn 21 until after the draft. Wentz was 23 when he was drafted. The fact that he's still developing but already this skilled means the big "p" word will drive his stock higher than a comparably skilled QB like Wentz or Stick who weren't drafted until after their 5th year of college football.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIt isn't the most important aspect. I didn't forget accuracy, I completely ignored it just like the scouts right now. It is correctable. I mentioned that.

You can't teach athleticism. You can't teach having a cannon for a arm. Even his interception was a Elway/Favre like dart thrown completely effortlessly. Sure it should have been a touch throw over the top but even his mistakes are impressive.

He overthrows receivers falling backwards by 20 yards while they are 45 yards downfield. NFL GMs aren't worried about drafting him too high, they are worried about missing out.

I would love to see him play more college football. Certainly there is still a lot to learn at the QB position. I also have no problem comprehending the hype is going to get blown up even more and someone will pull the trigger with a top 15 pick. I also think I'm giving myself a lot of wiggle room.

Potential is the most important aspect of any position.

Pretty remarkable how far he is now as a passer. Wasn't highly trained as a QB coming out of High School which likely explains the FBS schools recruiting him only at other positions. After only one redshirt year in College he looked so effortless moving around in the pocket and throwing bombs downfield. He's either an extremely quick learner or a natural talent at QB, or both I guess.

Good thing we have Zeb for the next two seasons (hopefully) packed together! Hopefully we can get back to being the Bison as a team and not so much focused on one player. I felt similarly when Carson left....too many people standing around waiting for the star to make a play.

We should be good in the spring, but we'll need to be more successful running with the RBs than we were on Saturday.

I'll sure be watching the draft with more interest than usual this spring!

Trey was a robot last year, Trey went to Manning camp and blew everyone away. I have it on good authority that Chicago Bears Front Office said they will take Trey NO MATTER WHAT if he is there when they pick. That's why this was an easy decision for Trey.

It was the right call, there was nothing left for him here. Maybe if there was another Oregon type of game lurking on the schedule next year I could see it and try to take a run at being #1 overall but that wasn't the case. He has nothing to gain by whopping up on some FCS puds for another year and a half.

Even if he goes in the late half of the first round, good chance he falls into a situation where he can maybe sit for a year and develop a bit more. Of course he could go to the combine and with his athleticism make scouts absolutely drool over what he can do. Excited to see how it all plays out.

Because he’s not even nearly ready for the NFL and playing in games means a world in terms of development.

He’s also declaring well before the FBS season even nears completion. Other guys could shoot up the draft board and he could go way down the board, especially if he has a subpar combine.

I think he really rushed this decision. As Entz said, there was no rush. Should have waited until December and saw how the FBS season shakes out.

I think he is making a smart decision to do it now and its courteous to give the team notice. But I do agree he is not ready so I hope he gets a year to learn. An NFL offense is a different level and you can't run the Qb in the NFL like in college

When does he become “ready”? After scorching another MVFC defense for the 30th time? He already had a perfect season, what does a second or third at the FCS level bring him?

You are probably right he’s not ready to step into an NFL field tomorrow and take the helm. But he will be much more ready 18 months from now if he goes to the NFL this year instead of next year.

#9 is Robert Rochell. He had a pretty good game and is probably going to get onto an NFL roster. The trucking he took made up for his two pass break ups.

Elite 11 camp he was in boasted him probably more than FCS. the Mannings were there and many NFL guys and connections. that's what happened, they all raved about him that week at camp

Scouts stated he had accuracy issues in Elite 11 camp, but he has a high football IQ and all the physical tools. Definately someone who can sling 60 yard rainbow. He was rusty during the game against Arkansas.

With CW , accuracy was a non.issue. The leadership and Football IQ he showed during the win against Iowa State, the come back victory against Redbirds and UNI is unmatched by any QB in recent years.

Trey definitely has all those qualities, just a bit untested and raw , this is not under Trey's control. He did well based on the challenges presented to him.

Hope he does well on the Combine

This seems awfully short sighted to me. I don't think the athletes had the expectation that they slap a sticker on their helmets and suddenly racism is defeated. I do think they expected people would enter into discussions about the issue. That certainly seems to have been effective.

Correct. It was not the time or place for personal political messages. You have a campus with 13-14k students. That where you affect change.

When you are on the field its about the program. You dont change the program. The program changes you. If you cant abide by what has made this program great then there are other places you can go.

Judging based on your past responses it is very obvious to me, this is not your concern and you have your reasons.

I associate the flag with the Bill of Rights, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and foundational American ideology’s pertaining to liberty. Protesting the anthem has always seemed like a dumb ignorant way of protesting bad cops. To me it says “I hate America” not I hate police brutality. I think the power players behind the whole thing do hate America and a lot of people know that.

I still remember the first midget porn I saw. it was on the old days of Napster where you'd have to spend hours downloading something on a 56k connection never knowing if you're getting what the filename implies. In this case it was indeed adult entertainment, as 14 year old me was hunting for. A gentleman in a suit was checking into a hotel. Upon reaching the room he put his suitcase on the bed and unzipped it to reveal the aforementioned midget. After the deed was complete he placed her back in the suitcase and put the suitcase in the closet. I often wondered if this was a sort of social commentary on how we treat those who are different. It shaped my entire world view, especially in regards to inclusion and accessibility.

I also remember the next three dozen midget porn videos I saw but I'll save that for Lakes' birthday party thread.

Players wearing breast cancer awareness ribbons is not political but raising awareness about injustice and demanding equality is political. :facepalm2:

I find that people complain about politics at sports when the politics are something they disagree with. However, if we see politics that we agree with, then all is fine with the world and we don't give it a second thought.

What would happen if fans are concerned about America's military budget & overreach and they complained about the use of military displays at games (such as the National Guard presenting the Colors or the military being used in advertising)? Would those fans be allowed the same courtesy of raising their concerns about politics at sporting events? I highly doubt it.

Well, I'll grant you that people are far more likely to complain about mixing sports and politics if they don't agree with the political message. That said, I would be prefer NO politics in sports, regardless of the POV.

What are the predictions for Trey's combine performance? Is he going to crush it and put up the best numbers in the class?

Gully
10-17-2020, 03:31 PM
Sitting at the bar last night I saw a view that had Trey listed #3 at QB and then they showed a different one where I thought he was #5 but I couldn't hear what they were saying and what the difference was between the two graphics. Maybe the second one was all players and the first was QB?

I still find it hard to believe after 16 starts or whatever it is but it seems to be the concensus that he will go high.

Because he wasn't allowed to leave due to the age rules.

Hmm, ok. I guess he played as a true freshman then? After this year he'll have three full seasons played.

One season just seems so little. Over the years it's always seemed like the coaches really limit the offense for younger QBs because of how hard it is to learn and then the Junior and Senior seasons they really open up the playbook. It just seems like an enormous jump from one season of FCS football to the NFL.

Anyway, best of luck to him, I hope he's very successful and makes a bazillion dollars.

Well no less than Randy Hedberg said his resume is complete. I fully grasp your point and I respect it but I am not in a position to argue with Hedberg on such a topic.

That's why he's eligible to leave now. Most of his ratings so far were based on the assumption he would continue to develop and play this year. The lack of games may or may not hurt his stock with draft scouts. He may also stay/rise with workouts and combines. There are also arguments to be made if he would develop better playing one more year of FCS football or working and training with NFL players as a backup. If everything is pointing at him being drafted anywhere in the first round he would be crazy to not do it now unless he really loves playing college football that much.

Pretty rare for coaches to say "he isn't ready and he should still be here," particularly before the guy gets drafted so I dont know how much stock to put in what Hedberg says.

Trevor Lawrence won the National Championship over Alabama and was also named MVP of the game as a true freshman.

Question all you want. I see him as a straight shooter and I take him at his word. He is already of retirement age so I’m not sure what he has to gain by trying to mislead anyone.

Yeah so Clemson FB won the game over Alabama. But you are right that Trevor Lawrence was the MVP.

In my opinion he either needed to go pro or transfer to a P5 school, there was nothing left for him here once the Oregon game was cancelled. Playing in some BS spring season would have been just dumb and our schedule next fall is Charmin soft.

This will be the first draft for which Lawrence is elligible.

Option 1: Stay for a Spring season for some reason after winning a Natty and best FCS player (or whatever).
Option 2: Get drafted and get fucking paid!

Who picks option 1?

Thanks, I guess what's throwing me off is that he will have played 3 seasons and Trey only 1. I see now why that is.....Trey redshirted and this fall season was cancelled. So that's the difference.

That said, he still has only played 1 season and it's against FCS competition so it still seems like a heck of a jump. As others have said though, if he's being told first round, I totally understand why he would go. It sucks for us, but I guess that's what it is now.

Wentz only had 7 more starts than Lance in his college career. :)

Yes, but he was in school and involved for at least 4 seasons, if not 5 (I can't recall if he redshirted). I agree with the starts, but he had a LOT more experience and a bigger arm. Again, not bashing Trey or saying he can't do it. I'm just saying it's a BIG jump. I'll love it if he gets drafted in round one and has a great career.

Exactly why he needs a team with an established starter who will not rush him....he has a ton to learn.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. I think I'm just pointing out that its no more big of a jump than Wentz made, at least not by that much from a game experience standpoint.

Also, Lance can sling it like 50 yards from his back foot and on the run. I don't think there is much disparity in arm strength either. Accuracy maybe...

I agree with this, too. As much as I'd love to see him start right away, it would be better for him to learn under an experienced QB for a couple years.

I agree with this. TL exerts less effort slinging a 60 yd toss with a NCAA football than I do making a 100 yd shot with a sand wedge. And he does so with far greater accuracy than me.
