Is Justin Fields better than Zach Wilson? ua-cam.com/video/FsGd8yBVQRc/v-deo.html
Sicko Mode or Mo Bamba?
Wilson's frame looks small. The chart says 6'3" but my eyes say 5'11". My concern is whether the big bodies in the NFL punish him for extending plays that he should let die. Fields on the other hand can take a beating. Against Clemson in 2020 Fields was beaten up and still performed at all-pro level to win the game.
I think both of them will take about 3 seasons to develop as their mechanics are concerning but that arm talent is no joke. I do think Fields is a system QB while Wilson can work in multiple systems but Fields has more upside with his insane athletic ability.
You never disappoint my guy.
@@MTG2. Nice name!
Yes
lol here after the Penix video
Me too i dont get it
Everytime a big move happens like the 49ers moving up today I revisit these vids. Love the work you do.
Thanks Trent!
The 49ers want Zach Wilson but there is no way the Jets don't take him 2nd.
Last week I bought a season ticket in anticipation of the jets drafting Wilson.
Wanted us to get Fields ever since we lost the first pick, but I think this video just Wilson-pilled me lol.
I'm so sorry for your loss lol
Alex is a legend
Underrated
Thanks brother!
Parker Anderson! No he isn't. He literally trash-talked the best qb last year in Justin Herbert (funny how he left out Herbert in the intro but put Burrow in, even though Herbert was OROTY). This dude gets everything wrong.
@@raymundolopez3816 ok, Raymundo Lopez, who nobody has ever heard of, who lives in anger and denial after multiple failed relationships that have left you scarred for life and unable to feel affection. Ok, Raymundo Lopez, who has lived a troubled life and has never lived up to the expectations set by his parents and has a misdemeanor drug charge. And after many years of depression and building anger, you have no choice but to put it out on a man who's just trying to do his best to supply the football world with great content, nothing more, nothing less.
@@parkeranderson7155 That first part was weird, chill bro. Nah I feel you. His channel has a ton of potential. His narrating is off the charts and his videos are well put, but many times he makes videos in his channel trashing players and they turn out to be great. It's ok to critique them and have an opinion but it's another thing to make write them off. His execution is great it's just the way in which he presents them that turns off a lot of in-between fans.
Arguably more than 1 year of production. He started as a true freshman after graduating high school early to make spring camp. That freshman year had a 100% completion bowl game. Watching the progress he made from barely out of High School to 3 years later, if that progress continues with pro level coaches he will be exciting to watch.
He struggled with injuries his sophmore year but he still had some great moments. He beat ranked USC in a crazy fun game
Bust
Bro i love me some zach wilson hes my favorite prosect in this class alex your the 🐐
Thanks man! Forreal one of the most fun/surprisingly good players I've studied in the last year
Who is here because the 49ers trade up? Anyway, I’m here to see my boy Wilson wears Red and gold! Nice video btw!
Edit: Hey, I’m wrong about my prediction of the draft. 49ers get Trey Lance, and he seems great for my team. Lets fucking go!
I think the jets will beat you to him.. Or someone will trade to nr 2 if jets not moving off darnold.
Y’all aren’t even gonna get him. Sorry bro
@@ryandietrich2367 I know, but I’m so hype rn. The Jets might go a 180 like the 2020s draft. Then again, I wouldn’t mind the 49ers draft Fields or Lance if they take Wilson.
@@Avemtec Yea, everything could happen. We’ll see the result on the draft day.
@@Avemtec The draft can go in many different directions. Nothing is a sure thing. I’m hoping the Niners at least have a chance to get him. If not, I’m 100% OK with Fields.
I love this kat! I think in a lot of draft classes he would be the #1 overall pick or at least QB1. Like you said his potential is sky high. I love these draft analysis videos btw. The one on Isaiah Simmons was actually how I found your channel.
Thanks for the support as always! Wilson is certainly a fun watch this past week. I'll be interested to see how Simmons progresses with the Cards, I feel like there are a million different paths his career could take
Gonna love watching him on Sundays in green and white, he’s a perfect fit since he can perform under pressure and read defenses well. Also helps that NY is running a very similar offense as he did in college
Lol
L
Perfect bust
It's fun to speculate each year. He'll definitely be the one a lot of us wonder about going forward!
he's even better than lawrence at targeting 1 on 1 matchups and putting the ball in the favorable spot.
Zach always reminded me of Russ, he was always able to move fast and agile despite appearing small and has the perfect spiral style to match. It will be interesting to see how he starts but if my suspicion is right, he could have the same trajectory as Russ, Pat and even Peyton Manning. Bold prediction but that's just the sense of play style I get from him
Got randomly recommended this video and saw your comment. Just wanted a friendly reminder that this was your hot take lol.
I like Wilson!!!! I think he’s gonna be pretty good as long as he lands in a good situation. I think The Jets would be a good place for him to play
I am consistently impressed with your football acumen in your videos. I really enjoy how you break down plays and explain the concepts both the defense and offense are trying to implement.... Huge 49er fan; unlikely the 49ers acquire Wilson in the draft, but would love to see him running Shanahan’s offense. Keep up the awesome videos good sir.
Thanks so much Andrew brother! Very happy to hear you enjoy them as well as learn from them
how nice would it be for him to play in the shanahan system in NY with coreydavis, denzel mims and crowder
Be better if went to play for Shanahan in SF
@@guyinthecomments8628 Especially now 49ers have very realistic chance at getting him.
@@TheGamingRazzor Robert Saleh is a sleeper cell agent of the 49ers, they'll probably draft a defensive lineman XD
@@cinemapigeon4898 bruh, the hell. No way lmao
@@nayansrinivasan4695 they are taking pitts
Appreciate the videos on Fields and Wilson. Looking forward to one on Trey Lance!
I am a nfl fan from india and your videos are good in making me aware of such football schemes and on different qb works differently which were alien to be honest. I recently came upon ur video on chase young and since then I kept watching as it is helping me get more knowledge about the game.
That's awesome to hear Sarfaraz! I'm really glad they're helping you learn, it's a great game!
This is A++ analysis. Well done.
Thanks KTBS! Appreciate it man
I love zach. Man crush. But let's be honest, byu has a bloody good O-line to protect him for that extra half second.
The Jets are building one too. Beckton and now the kid from USC.
Very good take Alex!
Thanks brother!!
I knew this was coming......great job Alex again. You should have more subscribers. Your videos are excellent
Thanks Marc!! Glad you liked it. Just gotta keep grinding, appreciate the support!
Great analysis very straightforward and I think this kid can be special. I'd love to see him at the 9ers or the falcons to see him reach that potential
Thanks Jayce! I think he could be special too, I'd love to see what Shanahan would do with him
Great video again Alex!
Thanks Devin, appreciate the support as always!
Gotta love Alex Rollins NFL very entertaining! Great frigging analysis all the way
Thanks SJ!! Appreciate the love!
@@AlexRollinsNFL No prob keep up the amazing work your very underated.
One second, gotta make sure I comment “first”.
Fr tho awesome content, man! Big fan
Thanks Miguel brother!
Congrats on 50k!
Thanks brother!! 100k's been my goal since day one, so I'm stoked to be halfway there
That close gave me chills!!!
Hey Alex, great stuff. Would love to hear your thoughts on what went wrong for Zach. In hindsight it’s easy to judge harshly on someone’s scouting analysis, even if that scouting was fairly solid at the time given all the available data/info. Would be interesting to hear how you would deconstruct all this as it would be useful for future analysis.
Thanks Tyleresque! I made some what went wrong type videos for him with the Jets, but haven't gone back and carefully analyzed it through college. Sounds like a great idea for the offseason
Awesome breakdown 👏
Thanks brother!
ayoo brodie i love your videos, seeing your videos make very motivated to make videos like you one day but keep on with the great work my guy! wish nothing but great things for you in the near future!!
Thank you so much bro! Just starting making content and hone your craft over time, that's how I started! Reach out if you need any help
@@AlexRollinsNFL bett thanks man I appreciate it
Thanks Alex!
Thank YOU Moises!
This title is appropriately named for Zack Wilson he is the Cardiac Cougar. I would have named it Cougar King but so be it.
In my opinion and using his stats, he was already showing flashes of his 2020 season in his freshman year and was okay in his sophmore year due to an injury. He has always been a smart and precise player as evidenced by having a completion percentage of 65.9 and 73.5 when healthy. His first year he only threw 3 interceptions just like his junior year and had 12 TDs thrown which is not bad considering almost all the other QBs did not have a good first year. I think he is going to be good for the Jets, they got a good one.
Excellent video man as always!!! Who’s next!?
Thanks Jorge!! Most likely Kyle PItts, I usually decide by Monday morning, but that's who I'm thinking!
Would love to see him on the niners
Ny jets
@@bangmateo7481 honestly wouldn't minda that either. Would love to see Saleh turn that place around
That thought terrifies me
@@PizzaHutCEO Darnold returning terifies me.
Packers
Great video!!
Just tryna be like you big bro
great job!!
Thanks brother!!
this whole time i thought was subscribed to your channel whoops lol love your content man!
Thanks brother!
I guess Zach Wilson is going to be my favorite football player now. Don't get much star talent from a small school like BYU. XD
Lol that's not true. BYU has had a lot of star power heck they even have a Hall of famer
@@playacircle5594 Ok ok whatever. Zach Wilson can be the new great player is generation.
Footwork would definitely scare me as a scout. Size also would be a concern but that seems to be less now in the modern NFL.
Thank you Alex Rollins....great video ..can wait to see Wilson in the pros ..wish I could see him in the red n gold but that's wishful thinking lol
Appreciate you Rene! I think the 49ers could get desperate and make a move in the first round.. but we'll see
It’s really ALL about what team he goes to. If he was say drafted to New England, he could be a superstar. But he’s going to a team that has a bad system and that could make it hard for him to be good. I’m not saying he can’t be good, but it will be harder
Man/cover 2 combo....sheesh, i'm bout to add that to my def scheme in madden 😂
It's literally the first play under Man-Zone
@@truzzprod.8191 I ain't got it in my book haha but I like the way how it's pretty much a cover 1 robber on 1 side and cover 2 zone on the other. I user the safety so it's very much doable....in a non cheesy way
@@ANBU_Blk_0p ight
@@ANBU_Blk_0p there is 0 chance you don’t have “cover 2 man” in your madden playbook.
@@Welcome2TheOhioState I know I got that haha, but you have to call cover 2 zone then make adjustments to call the defense they did in this video
Greetings from the Niner-Nation forum. Someone posted your video there
Yep, I've done some work with them in the past. KP is the man!
8:20 when JimmyG makes that throw he tends to drop it in short like against NO in 2019. Wilson hits the WR in perfect stride.
Jimmy g is just simply not that good lmao
Jimmy G should be banished with a trade!
I just saw a combine report saying they had him as there third most explosive prospect on start off speed.
“All the physical... intangibles” my guy look up the word intangible
Would love a video on Travis Etiene, great video
Thanks Bala! I'll see if I get to him, there's a long list of guys I want to get to
Have you done a video on Andrew Luck? Because he and RGIII both had meteoric potential cut short.
You sort of sound exhausted. I know you've been pumping out a lot of videos lately so you voice is probably feeling shot but don't forget to get some rest. Grinding too hard man. lol.
Trying my best!!
He had a 20 yard dot against costal I think only 5 nfl qbs could make
wilson is really good but i think fields will fit perfect with the 49ers just feel like he’s being underrated bad by the media outta nowhere so i believe he’s gonna work the hardest and strive for greatness and be a top student of the game cause his potential is so high to me. I can see tho why people pick wilson cause he does have some amazing highlights, i just hope both players shine whether they are in NY Or SF all i know is that next season is going to be fun to watch🔥
Alex, going along with your intro, what do you think of Mitch Trubisky? Overhyped, Bad OC/Play Caller, Something Else?
I did a video on him last year, I actually like Nagy as a play caller but not sure about him as a head coach. I think Trubisky is just flat bad, Bears are crazy if they don't move on
idk why but this kind of reminds me of what happened with Trubisky in 2017, still rooting for the kid tho
When you’re late and they’re is still no dislikes
If I am New York Jets I am all in on Zach Wilson.
So what type of system will he thrive in and which team best suits him
He reminds me of Trubisky... Which makes sense if he ends up with the Jets.
The hype for him is blown out of proportion.
Good job being right
7:16, the receiver actually had the db beat there so he probably could have aired it out over top for a TD instead of the back shoulder. Than again that would have turned that throw from a ridiculous throw to absolutely ridonkulous. Not sure how many people would have the arm to do that on the run like that, so can’t really fault him for it. Crazy throw either way though.
Can you do a vid of who will be the better prospect between Zach and Justin for SF?
I already did an episode on each!
Figure it out yourself
As usual Alex, great analysis. Love it. Great job. Justin Fields is not better than Zach. Hos ability to make all the throws is so important and he’s athletic. The Jets are going to draft him. Put him in a shannahan based offense and watch out
Thanks Marc bro!! Yeah, I felt the same way the more I studied Wilson. I'd say Fields was put in a more difficult situation in terms of the defenses and pressure he faced, and since Wilson wasn't in those situations nearly as much, he's more of a projection. But I think his general ability to throw the ball is better than Fields
This aged horribleness fields is better than Zach
You should do one of Sam darnold vs zack Wilson I would love the film and take on it
Great idea!
Yes especially with that being the big debate right now....
He looks like a fit for ATL he likes to go vertical.
Definitely not their not getting a WB Ryan has 5 more years he’s 35
@@PATRIOTTTT falcons done with Ryan well take him in dc thou
@@PATRIOTTTT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not sure I'm into the "high accuracy, highly contested, high aggression" gun-slinging style. Sure it might work in college, but you can be sure if he tries this approach in the NFL, opposing cornerbacks are going to be extra motivated to get some INTs into their statline that game. And we've seen this before. He's called Jameis Winston. And while Wilson has a higher completion percentage, a QB can't make a completion himself. He needs a receiver that can make those grabs. Not sure any team that's able to draft a top 2 QB has a top grade wide receiver yet...
Edit: That all being said, that trait is dictated by whatever his coach wants. His intangibles, traits, and mechanics all look great. He can make reads and he understands how plays develop. That's a very good sign.
He may have a higher ceiling than Lawrence due to his off platform ability
😂
@Gabriel Rodriguez not the best take I've had
BYU is historically not an average team. Just to name a few things. They won a National Championship and did produce Steve Young and NFL superbowl winner and MVP.
Yep, was talking about since Wilson's been there
BYU had a great 20-25 year run from the early 70s to mid 90s, but the other 90 years in their history is average at best 🤷♂️
Thank you for vindicating my QB2 ranking here (narrowly behind Lawrence). This guy is gonna be a problem
He is one of the bestest
Nice video! The issue I have w Zach is that the majority of his plays/higjlights are wild and "off platform". The team that selects him is not gonna need him running around hurdling defenders. They will want him to make pres-nap reads, find the open WRs and more importantly live to see another play. Too much running around imo..... Its nice to run and make plays but as my franchise QB I need to make sure u can demonstrate more traditional QB traits. He's gonna need time to adjust and wont be ready in his first season as many are suggesting....
You could mot be more wrong. Do you realize he is running a pro offense here and not spread like lawrence. Lol watch games instead of highlights. People always show the most exciting plays in highlights. He is better from the pocket than any qb in this draft.
@@davidjamal378 in your opinion which game was Zach's absolute best game? Let me know so I can go watch it..
Can you do a scouting report on Arch Manning?
I don't have any all 22 on him! I'll wait til he actually gets some college experience 😂
@@AlexRollinsNFL ok 😂
Theres no way hes 6"3
You think he's taller or shorter? I don't understand why you think you can tell
@@lexingtonconcord8751 he looks shorter
he's 6"2
@@lexingtonconcord8751 shorter. You can definitely tell idk what makes you think you cant?
how'd that work out? good?
send that video to Denver's franchise
Not the typical powerhouse
Could you a video about Najee Harris pls?
the ball is going down field LETS go JETS!
What’s a real fair comparison tho to him?
Looks like the Jets are getting this prodigy
Wow! You can't teach some of those throws. He has all of the intangibles you want in a young player plus the arm strength if you don't take him with the first pick you'll regret it quickly. This guy will start and will win.
Yes he will
He kinda did come out of nowhere, but at the same time really no, he was very good his freshman year, had a shoulder injury his second year, and then was the best qb in college football last year
He going top 3
A college Qb not taking chesse on a half man coverage is pretty insane
Dolphins should have waited another year to get this guy, his style fits the receivers better than Tua.
They should have drafted Herbert
*J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!!*
I really see zach Wilson as the best qb in the draft but im biased
I see him as the 4th, but I am also biased.
Thought that was Cam Newton for a second
And then you have the college one-hit wonders who get drafted high and flop in the NFL, like Akili Smith, Joey Harrington and Mitch Trubisky.
thine eyes have seen the coming of the glory of the lord
The Mormon missile
One year of real production, raw but has the traits, a questionable level of competition, and soaring up the mock drafts last minute. Mitchell Trubisky would be proud.
Sounds like a Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes as well
@@rmichels05 Allen maybe. Mahomes had 2 full almost identical seasons worth of tape to watch. Wilson's stats his SO year are not even remotely comparable to his stats this past year. He quite literally became a different QB in a very weird year.
Wilson has 3 seasons of starting experience while Trubisky only had one. If you want to compare Wilson with his last season being awesome you have to think in Burrow.
@@sigmaway5717 I was going more for the no one knew who this guy was aspect but yes Burrow has the more comparable career.
👀
Personally I want fields on the jets more, but im happy with either wilson or fields replacing darnold. As long we don't have darnold again
A quarterback won’t work in that terrible ass franchise who gives their quarterback no weapons
@@swagteam.gaming9138 Bill, Jaguars, and Miami were all considered terrible franchises. Funny how quickly that changes when you get a good coach and GM combo.
Darnold was better than Wilson
@@grodri01 revisionist history, darn old won’t even be starting next year. They both suck
Hopefully he comes to Charlotte 🤞

Lmaoo me too
Anyone else here after the niners traded up to number 3?
i am
For anyone watching videos hyping up Maye, Daniels, McCarthy, etc. never forget this video
It’s nice being in the UA-cam era where you can go back and watch scouting reports hyping up massive busts
@@nicholaskling2425 Seriously. Really puts things in perspective.
He reminds me of Matt Stafford and Drew Brees
He’s way more mobile and has a stronger arm
Now I’m scared about poor Zach Wilson. You said Herbert was going to be bust, does this mean that Wilson will be a bust now?
probably
