What do you think?

Fields honestly looks just as good, but I’d be a little skeptical after seeing how bad Haskins looked.

Haskins never in his life looked as good as fields has. Fields' ability to throw post and corner routes is insane. He got hit one throw and still put it in the receivers hands in stride. Lawrence is super good too so it's hard to pick

Fields is a fantastic prospect but Lawrence is the #1 pick in almost any draft in NFL history. Elway, Luck, Manning and maybe a couple of other exceptions, but not many. This is only a conversation if Trevor has a lingering health concern.

Well I would say that Haskins may not have looked as good as Fields if you talking bout total package....agility, ability to escape pressure and throw on the run, As far as pure passer Haskins for one year was putting balls on the money on short passes and bombs. If I'm right he had like 50 TD passes his junior year. He is prototype pocket passer and you must surround those types with good scheming, offensive weapons and a good offensive line. ...he is not Russell Wilson.

As far as how QB's are judged in the pros I always look at if You pull a QB and insert 2nd string and then you get other QB's (draft, free agency) and they don't do any better than original QB then maybe it's the organisation that sucks. You can't tell me that over 30 QB's that started for the Browns since 2000 or every Dolphin QB since Marino ALL were HOT GARBAGE!

So it depends on what organization the dudes go to more than anything...

Haskins was good but nowhere near as accurate as Fields. Just watch Field's first two games - his receivers don't even have to break stride. As for pinpoint accuracy, check out his two touchdown passes to Olave last night against PSU. The one big knock on Haskins coming out of OSU with just one starting year is that he needed another to improve his accuracy and mechanics. The NFL has proven these assumptions correct. Fields is already there.

I'm of the opinion that it's hard to judge these guys, because watching them is like watching seven-on-seven. Their surrounding cast is so good that they rarely see strong pass rush or receivers that can't create separation.

I agree, Fields and Lawrence are the new generation of robo-qbs. Guys that have been trained physically and mentally for this job for the last 10 years. Haskins was more of a situation where we have a guy with max talent but doesn't have the decade long inputs of how to handle pressure, work, improvement and a team. Of course, a single shoulder injury could wreck their careers in the hyper competitive NFL but I don't see why either wouldn't have decent careers.

Fields is excellent, but Brooke Hogan will be the number 1 pick in the draft. Sad but true.

Haskins never had the accuracy that Fields has shown. Fields has a really quick release and seems to be the kind of guy many NFL teams are looking for with his athleticism. I could see Lawrence killing it in a system like Pittsburg's or New England's.. Something tells me New England is tanking for Trevor. Too bad they won those early games.
