My favorite teams
insiders know soooo much!!!!

Who are the Giants talking to then? They rolling with Jones and Lock while they're on the hot seat over there?Keep the delusion going
They have pick 6. McCarthy seems like someone they might be targeting.Who are the Giants talking to then? They rolling with Jones and Lock while they're on the hot seat over there?
If the Bears won a few more games they would have been in the playoffs.If the Panthers finished 7-9 and were picking around 8-10 ish, and the Bears had picks 8-10, we wouldn't be talking about qb in round 1.

Minnesota is gonna leapfrog em.They have pick 6. McCarthy seems like someone they might be targeting.
The Bears still may have based on how poorly Fields has played.If the Panthers finished 7-9 and were picking around 8-10 ish, and the Bears had picks 8-10, we wouldn't be talking about qb in round 1.
not to mention, the return is going down, not up, Poles screwed this up big time
Not confusing at all to be honest. If Minny's plan is to draft a QB, then Darnold makes more sense by far for the Vikes.I think it's clear to all of us the these teams don't think Fields is a better option at a starting QB than the people they singed to be their starting QB. Maybe some of you conspiratorial folk think something fishy is going on. Obviously, finances go into this, knowing that if Fields doesn't impress next year for them he's a one year rental.
And none of this surprises many of us on here or elsewhere. I laughed at those of you who were clamoring that all it takes is one team or two teams in a bidding war to fetch a 1st round pick for Fields. A fist round pick for Justin Fields. That was the definition of stupidity then, now and tomorrow. I think some of you can't seem to separate your emotional brain (Amygdala) from your thinking brain (Prefrontal Cortex) when it comes to Justin Fields. NFL GMs have no such limitations.
But I do have one question for some of you that can use your thinking brain and who are more in the know than I am.....why would the Vikings sign Darnold for a 1 year tryout over trading for Fields for 1 year tryout. Is it the obvious answer they think he's better?
That one confuses me. Maybe Poles just doesn't want him to go to a division rival or the Viking think Darnold and Fields are a wash and they'd rather pay then send over a 3rd round pick?
They must know something I don't if the plan is indeed to have Darnold as their starting QB.
How could Pudge Poles be so out of touch with what the rest of the league thinks about Fields? Something strange is going on.
Since we’re posting utter bullshit and speculation here - I did read a rando tweet or twat or whatever they’re called that said Pittsburgh called for Fields a while back and Pudge wanted their first, second, and a wide receiver. Maybe he’s as blinded by love as the Fields Fanatics? . . .
I guess and it did cross my mind. Seems like they are going to have to settle for whomever is left, which I guess is one way to luck into a QB.Not confusing at all to be honest. If Minny's plan is to draft a QB, then Darnold makes more sense by far for the Vikes.
Only a team that was convinced Fields was worth picking up the 5th year option would be willing to offer anything more than a third. At this point, and for that matter, by the deadline to exercise this option, Fields has not shown he is worth it. Poles failure to understand this when placing a price on Fields is a major fail by a GM.I guess and it did cross my mind.

Definitely happened many times before.
Rolling the dice in a big way if they are assuming they can trade up with someone.

So you are assuming Poles was asking for a 3rd? That's what you are saying?Only a team that was convinced Fields was worth picking up the 5th year option would be willing to offer anything more than a third.

That's not what I said at all, what I was saying is, by the sounds of it Poles was asking for much higher than a third, and that no team, under the current circumstances, was ever going to offer what he was asking. He quite possibly overplayed his hand, and as a result, will now have to settle for an even lower draft pick as a result.So you are assuming Poles was asking for a 3rd? That's what you are saying?
And you are saying Poles should have realized Fields was only going to get a 4th at best and taken that?
Okay, understood.That's not what I said at all, what I was saying is, by the sounds of it Poles was asking for much higher than a third, and that no team, under the current circumstances, was ever going to offer what he was asking.

I don’t get why this is always mentioned. You overpay cause you have to outbid anyone else. It’s like saying “Why does any team overpay for a free agent?” Cause if you don’t bid high enough, someone else might.every team knows bears are picking williams. why over pay?
