Did I say they should trade him?
I guess but we had traded away Quinn and Smith so we where in full on tank mode at that point so it should of been known that our 2nd round pic would be pretty high up the chart..
I think a lot of posters on this board outside of @msadows and @Wild_x_Card had Zach Wilson as a high probability for a bust.
That's the bad part of the huge gamble it would be.
if he is a generational QB he would get more then just a single 1st round pick, thats the point, if Teams are only willing to give up a single 1st then teams dont think much of him compared to giving up multiple picks for a completely unproven QB.
Wut? Wilson was always a high risk high reward prospect. I never said otherwise. The mental was always going to be his biggest hurdle. But I'll take solace knowing I'm living rent free in your brane, literally. Saving screen shots of my posts several years old. I'm nestled in there quite nicely.
There's a pretty obvious reversal of this question that one can pose.
It's on record that some of JF's wr's don't run crisp routes. And the Getsy designed routes are slow developing.
Did we miss Smith or Quinn that much? Quinn had 1 sack and 8 tackles here before the trade and Sanborn played well filling for Smith.
Yes Sanborn played well no doubt about it but thats not the point, The point is you traded away some great/good defensive talent for a WR that was at that point only averaging 38 yards per game this year onto a team that started out bad and you just made much worse, you as the GM should know that 2nd round pick is probably going to be very high with what you have done. So is a high 2nd worth a guy who is only averaging 38 yards per game this year? Its not like Claypool is some 1200+ yard receiver that had a down year.. He is a 800 yard receiver that is currently having a bad year.Did we miss Smith or Quinn that much? Quinn had 1 sack and 8 tackles here before the trade and Sanborn played well filling for Smith.
Pretty high? High 30s to mid 40s? Sure but taking it further than that is 100% hindsight. It's like saying you knew the Lions would be playing for a playoff spot when they were 1-6.

of course its all hypothetical at this point, and its not even my hypothetical, I didnt come up with Fields only being worth a 1st
I guess not playing because of injury doesn't mean anything? I think it does.
he started all 8 games with Pit this year averaging 38 yards per game before we traded for him, the injury was after, I'm talking about his performance before we traded for him
