I hope the Falcons are spreading that like wildfire in New Jersey.

He’s so much better than Manziel, it isn’t funny. Also, from a character standpoint, people say he’s a lot like Aaron Rodgers. He’s kinda a prick, but man he loves football, puts in the work, and shows out so he can back it up.

Manziel just liked boats and hoes.

I think the concerns are more along the lines of the fact that Wilson could quit football today and be financially set for life.

There’s a lot of players that could do that. The greats do it because they love it.

Heck, Matt Ryan came from a wealthy family. Tom Brady, as well. His parents own a $4M house in San Mateo.

They are spreading misinformation hoping to drive down his draft stock.

Happens every year.

"Manziel w/o the drugs?." GTFO.

Id be fine with Wilson or Fields. From a marketing standpoint there is a lot to be said for taking the homegrown AA talent. Probably a safer pick too. I think a lot of uga people can’t fully grasp how good he is. Or selectively choose not to. Luckily we will get to see how he does in the biggest game in his career in a couple days

Maybe. But lots of talent evaluators are knocking the season he has had. I've not watched a single OSU game and have no idea. The talking heads however seem to be in agreement that he's had a bad year.

Fields has shown some serious read the field issues.

I'm not sure anybody really knows how good he is. He's started what, like 20 college games in total? He's certainly put up some gaudy numbers against the tomato cans of the B1G, but he's also looked very pedestrian against good defenses.

He obviously has a ton of raw ability and could be great, but I think Fields is very much a high-risk guy because of the variance of outcomes you'd expect with him.

High risk and top 5 don't mix for me.

Pass.

Yep. His video is awesome. Quick feet, quick release, strong arm.

They will need a WR cause they are trading Julio, and may trade Ryan also, so maybe I can see them taking a QB, get a first rounder for julio and then yes take the qb at 5 then wr to replace julio with that pick

They aren’t trading either of them. Their contracts make it to tough.

Aints fans should be banned from this board.

Let's start with that Champagne clown first.
