Broncos passed on Fields bc he didn’t clear medically

[JoJoBoxer]

Feels like the epilepsy was the most concerning issue to teams in regards to Fields.

What if he has to retire in 8-10 years due to seizures you cant predict flaring up.

The Bears have their best ever QB for 8 to 10 years?

My youngest has epilepsy. Had 4 seizures when he was 15. Put on a medication after the first seizure.. it made him extremely sick and he had another a few days later... more med adjusting... They changed him to a new medication and he hasn't had a seizure since. He played hockey in high school, college, and the AHL. A few concussions. No seizures. Does that mean he'll never have one again? Of course not. He gets a blood test to checks his meds levels every 6mo.

I don't know the type of seizures Fields had, but chances are he'll be just fine if he hasn't had one in a long time. And IF Fields ever does... then they'll adjust his meds.

I would add that there was a history of seizures in his family and they were controlled and eventually went away.

Chances are the Justin has the same type and it should be controlled the same way.

No guarantees, but it is a good risk to take for Justin and the Bears.

Dolphins passed on brees cause of medical reasons. With bears track record it’s kind of scary. But the talent fields brings to the table he’s worth the roll of the dice. Was Chris Williams, Gaines adams, gabe carimi, Quinn etc worth that? Meh

You cried when we traded for him. If you were an advocate for him why would you bitch when we tried going for him?

I forgot I’m on ignore. Can someone @Black Rainbow and ask how can he be an advocate of Fields if he bitched about us trading up for him?

I've said this like 1000 times now. I still can't believe the Bears were able to get Fields at 11.

I've liked your posts 1000 times too.

What I understood an announcer/"expert" on draft night said, and I'm paraphrasing, Justin Fields family has a history of epilepsy and a history of out growing it in their mid 20's.

Also, Denver's GM said in that same interview, that with his shitty O line, he was concerned about all the hits Justin was going to take and it effecting his brain in a bad way. What a thing to say about your O line. In essence he was saying, by not drafting Justin he was saving his life.

We seem to keep hearing different things about why DEN passed. Lets just call them tards and move on.

I feel sorry for Broncos fans

I feel bad for Fangio. Always liked him and feel like he's getting a raw deal. The Broncos have talent, they would be a good team with an actual QB. Also, pretty rough division. Fangio is likely canned after this season. Can you imagine Mahomes, Herbert and Fields all in the same division?

Bears only draft players with medical issues so this checks out.

Eddie Jackson and Jaylon Johnson being among them.

10 years in the NFL as QB will be more than a lot of high picks who never had medical issues

Read through that thread. Most of them thought there was no way he could fall to 9, and were willing to trade up to 3 to get him.

Meltdown incoming.

 

[BBBF]

Odd timing to be discussing how stupid other teams are for allowing a player to fall so far in the draft after the Teven Jenkins fiasco. This discussion might make more sense a year or so from now.

True, but a good time for Denver to come up with this excuse.

Hopefully you get to drop this in there before ban...

"This is not why we [drafted a cornerback]—but quarterbacks are available more than franchise corners every year, at least the last couple of years."
