The debate about Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence continues to ramp up several months out from the start of the college football season.
The Ohio State and Clemson stars are without question the two best quarterbacks in America. On top of that, Lawrence is believed to be a lock for the top pick in the 2021 draft, and Fields will almost certainly go two.

Yet, people are still debating a ton whether or not Fields is really the elite prospect.

A Reddit thread posed the question, and really fanned the flames on the debate. FOX College Football also asked the question in a poll, and Fields was by far the winner!
Justin Fields vs Trevor Lawrence: Is it really Tank for Trevor? from CFB
Which QB will have a better season in 2020, @ClemsonFB‘s Trevor Lawrence or @OhioStateFB‘s Justin Fields? ????????

I honestly don’t understand how so many people can view Fields as the better option. It doesn’t make much sense to me at all.
Don’t get me wrong on this. I think Fields is a hell of a player. I watched him beat Wisconsin twice last season.
The young man is an absolute baller and freak of nature.
However, there’s a reason NFL scouts are salivating over the idea of getting their hands on Trevor Lawrence. The Clemson quarterback is the best NFL prospect I’ve ever seen.
He has the arm, he’s athletic and his football IQ is insanely impressive.
We’ll see how it shakes out this upcoming season, but I’ll be absolutely shocked if Fields goes ahead of Lawrence in the draft.
