Social Media debates top 2024 NFL draft quarterback prospect
Things are heating up for the UNC football program, with players getting top recognition nationwide.
One of those players is quarterback Drake Maye, one of the best QBs in college football, with high praise and expectations surrounding him in the offseason. Despite his stellar performance on the field, fans still believe one other quarterback is on his level, if not ahead, which is last season’s Heisman winner, Caleb Williams.
Both quarterbacks are expected to go early, if not 1 and 2, in the upcoming NFL draft if both were to declare. However, the questihttps://twitter.com/domojackson7/status/1715709839190483004on remains: which QB is better?
Well, we are learning what social media thinks of the QB debate with JPA football using the X platform to ask, “If your team picked #1 overall and needed a QB, are you drafting Caleb Williams or Drake Maye?”
The question sparked a reaction, garnering over 1.1 Million views as fans discussed the debate.
Let us look at how social media reacted to which QB they would take first.
Give me Drake every day of the week, and twice on Sundays https://t.co/juTxLIzdmd

I think drake maye is a safer pick…accurate…good arm and consistent..I love Caleb Williams talent but I see a bigger Kyler Murray…he's great off schedule but that off schedule play in the NFL isn't prosperous in the long run, ain't easy to juke NFL defenders and make throws https://t.co/ycHACl58sI

Drake Maye…. 1 Caleb plays in the Pac 12 they don’t play defense
2 Drake plays in a pro style offense
3 Caleb can’t read defenses. Notre Dame game is proof.
But Caleb has way more potential than Drake https://t.co/E7oCwe3FGr— Dashy (@im_trillguyy) October 21, 2023
Anytime a prospect gets over hyped they fold under pressure and aren’t what the media said they’d be with that being said I’ll take Drake Maye he’s gonna be one hell of a qb he’s honestly underrated https://t.co/3XVIiRaaOV

the way drake plays is just more translatable so that’s why some people say he’s a better prospect
i wouldn’t say better safer would probably be a better word https://t.co/Dpc7u4kCJf

I wanna see how Caleb Williams reacts to the pressure that Oregon, Washington, and maybe Utah brings. He got exposed by Notre Dame, but was it just a fluke? If he can adjust then definitely Caleb Williams. If not, then definitely Drake Maye. https://t.co/DiWcSU8IC5

1 is going out every week and ballin. The other is asking for ownership of NFL teams he doesn’t play for yet. https://t.co/Pm0fm1dvbW

If said this a lot, Caleb is special. Has absolutely unbelievable, eye pop out of your head throwing capabilities. BUT , drake is going to handle the nfl better. Be a better leader and can make all the throw Caleb can just not from some of the ridiculous angles. I’m taking Maye https://t.co/zibbqnKjsa

Attitude. Passing ability. Ability to run an offense. All things maye does better. Caleb relies on out of the pocket plays which don’t translate to what NFL head coaches want to run. https://t.co/WAhBaUz55T

Drake 1000% better in the pocket. That being said, I don't think he's a better prospect than Williams. https://t.co/UeVXZqh9Zz

depends on what offense ur team wants to run.
personally I am taking Drake Maye but I absolutely wouldn’t mind Caleb Williams I don’t think u could go wrong tbh.
I also believe Penix and Nix aren’t far behind them https://t.co/jvLB2ec5cn

Bears should be banned from drafting one of these 2 guys, include Pennix and Bo Nox as well. https://t.co/08RnrSWrtt

Oh wow another quarterback from a basketball school in North Carolina getting picked in the top 10 surely that worked out for the last team that drafted that way https://t.co/bcn21TJABc

Caleb is still the obvious choice. Let’s just slow down the narrative that he’s the next Tom Brady before he has ever taken an NFL snap https://t.co/c6ymAp289x
