case could be made for Alex Smith, but I'll argue he's underperformed for being the first pick in the draft.

to do with Meyer’s.
describe him as a Meyer QB. Generally speaking, any spread offense with zone read concepts is going to have something of Meyer's offense (though Meyer credits Bill Snyder at Kansas State when Michael Bishop was his QB with originating it). I happened to read a detailed article at Volswire a week or so ago on Day's offense in which any mention of a direct influence of Meyer on Day is conspicuous by its absence, and so I asked, how is Fields a Meyer QB.
As to Fields's pro prospects, he has rocket arm with natural accuracy, a rare combination. That's no guarantee of success, but hard to pass up.
Just kidding. Urban is all about winning and will never bypass Lawrence...
He'll turn into an old man faster than someone can say "Cam Newton."

Besides, I doubt the Jets would pass up on Devonta Smith.

On any given play, he'll look for WR1, scan for WR2, and if WR3 is open, then he'll consider it.
WR4 almost never gets a look. If WR3 isn't obviously open, he usually takes off running, rather than scan for WR4. He had plenty of time this season, seeing how that offensive line did a nice job of pass blocking for him, especially against that weak competition.
That kind of method will get you killed in the NFL in the same way that Steve Young took way too many hits after becoming the starter in SF.
Someone like Mac Jones will last a lot longer in the NFL, since he tends to stay in the pocket, and if WR4 isn't available, he'll toss the ball away.
