Though never crossed my mind. The more interesting question would have been what if Niners had taken Jones. Who do you take out of Lance and Fields.

I thought no team would a high pick would gamble on Lance....I thought Bears had a chance to trade up and get Lance...

Yeah I would lean Fields too given the body of work but Lance is just 20 so his potential is off the charts if he works out.

Oh the mental issues would have been through the roof if that guy would have said that whole speech and we picked Jones

I was expecting Jones to be the pick. I thought he was by far the better pick for Nagy’s seemingly cerebral offense.
Picking Fields tells me that what we’ve seen of the Nagy offense so far isn’t what he would have preferred at all...

I'd have been ok if the Bears took Jones if Fields was already off the board. The pick that surprised me was the Broncos not taking Fields. When they chose a defensive player, I thought "maybe they really are getting Aaron Rodgers". After I found out the Bears traded up, I kept saying "please not Mac Jones, please not Mac Jones"

The only reason Fields didn't go three was because the 49ers are dumb.

He must of really been pissed when it came out a couple days later that the Vikings were trying to trade up for Fields and i'm sure you had some good fun with that.

Would of been happy with either cause we simply had to get a QB in this draft, but if it was Lance i'd definitely want him to sit the year and let Dalton start.

I do not think that Pace would even be allowed to pick another QB with almost no experience if Lance and Fields were both there.

Depends on who was available in this scenario. If fields was gone I’d feel less happy with Jones. If Fields was there, I’d be unhappy with Jones.

Its funny how united we all are on this front. It feels like everyone was sitting there hoping and scared for the same things.

Once divided, we've all come together. Except for a few nutters that think we shouldn't have traded up. ?

To be honest, ask me in about two years. If Fields somehow flops and Mac Jones becomes a star in New England I will be Trubisky ticked off again.
You never really know who will shine on the biggest stage. We all THINK that Justin Fields is the best QB we could get. He meets the eye test. He is smart. He seems to have the right mentality and desire to lead.
But until he gets out there and starts taking snaps against starting level talent in the NFL we really don't know how well he will perform. We probably won't know until the end of season two. The NFL is riddled with 'generational talent' that never pans out.

That isn't the point of his thread. He asked a very simple question. It doesn't require two years of hindsight.

Sure it does. Would I have been happy with Mac Jones at 11? I probably would have wanted Fields but Jones would have been serviceable. Some of the same things that people liked about Fields, like his ability to win the big games, his intelligence and leadership are present in Mac Jones. He isn't as mobile but he would have been fine. But most of us thought the same thing about Trubisky.
Trust me on this. If Fields is a bust and Jones becomes MVP there will be plenty of people here claiming that they never wanted Justin Fields and bitching because we didn't take Mac Jones. Bank on that.

Mac Jones at 20 with all 4 other QBs gone = good pick
Mac Jones at 20 with any other 4 QBs there = decent pick but disagree
Trade up to Mac Jones with all 4 QBs gone = acceptable
Trade up to Mac Jones with any other 4 QBs there = pissed and breaking shit
Honestly though, if the Bears had the 2nd pick in the draft, Fields was the QB I would have wanted. I think he is better than Wilson who is getting a lot of hype with the Mahomes comparisons. And he is good but I just think Fields did more against better competition and looked damn good doing it. I have no clue why Trey Lance went 3. I feel like the 49ers were the only team that wanted him in the top 10.

Got to like Fields. He is used to midwest outdoor stadium weather already.
