Let's say Front Office decides Fields isn't the answer and drafts a QB. Smart play is to still Start Fields next year.

[Bearly]

It's monumentally stupid to enact Fields' option AFTER you decide he's not the guy.

Not nearly as long as Caleb Williams holds the ball.

Bingo. Which is why Williams makes me nervous

How do you know? You've said you don't watch college football (it shows). So the only thing you've seen is highlight reels, if anything at all

And why I keep coming back to Justin Fields. I'll take Fields over Maye, Penix, and Nix.

The kind thing to do would be to let fields go elsewhere and have a shot at a real NFL career.

One of those next 3 can be the sacrificial lambs for the NFL Gods.

I'm not thrilled with this QB class. Top 2 so far are Williams and Maye based on the buzz, but both have some serious warning flags when it comes to how they will translate into pros. But to my eyes, Williams might be more flashy, but Maye is the closest to being pro-ready, and there are some things he does that college QBs don't usually learn until they are on the pro level. If a team can determine those WTF throws of his are something correctable (maybe bad coaching or told to do something stupid), he's going to turn out to at a bare minimum be a decent pro, and could be a real threat in the right system (like a team like Miami, but they already got Tua).

As far as Penix and Nix goes, this is the first I think I heard of Nix, and aside from the funny name, its hard for me to find the desire to watch tape of Penix knowing he's one good hit away from a very short NFL career...

One of the top qb classes (if not the top class) in the last several decades, but fat Joe isn't thrilled with it based off tweets he's read. Thanks for the foresight. Look forward to you changing your mind completely once you see one of these guys play for the first time.

Impressive to have never heard of nix considering he's been a starting qb for two of the top football schools in the country over the last 5 years or so

Last thing I would want is #1 pick sitting and learning from Fields for a year....no thanks

Luckily no one gives a **** about what you want

Please break down any film. This would be comedy gold.

Trade him NOW! Teams are getting desperate for QBs. His value, even injiured, is at its highest point. He’s doesn’t have IT.

If Atlanta called and offered their 2024 1st and more for him, I'd absolutely do it

If anyone did that, I'd trade him so fast heads would spin.

But that's not happening.

The First Justin Fields Trade Projection Surfaced And It's Fascinating

The Justin Fields trade chatter has begun to pick up. One insider offered what he thinks is most likely. It's certainly interesting.

[Speed]

That’s like nearly begging for a QB controversy. Nobody got time for that.

Just be a competent organization and send Fields on his way. You recoup some value for
him and presumably he still has 1 whole season elsewhere to prove he’s the guy (Which will be looked upon more favorably by players vs keeping a lame duck QB around).

 

[Myk]

I think its 3. I can't think of any above average starting QBs that didn't blossom until their 4th season and then maintained that level of play.

What team do you think you're following?
Certainly not the Bears or you're in an alternate reality where the Bears won't keep a bad QB a year longer because it's cheaper that way.

wait. He isn't watching "tape" He has been humble bragging all over the board about all the tape he watches. I thought he was a coach or something?

 

[TL1961]

Draft a QB and start Fields next year?

Dumbest thing they could do.

 

[TL1961]

Fields would and should demand a trade if they draft a QB.

He won’t have to. No team would draft a QB and still keep him.

 

[nc0gnet0]

If you draft a QB, you want a Vet as backup, to help the rookie out.

Are you doing this trade for fields with Atlanta before the trade deadline?
