Agreed. Honestly, this is the pick that Deshaun Watson should have been for all the same reasons.

Did anyone stop to look at what happened with the QB class this year. For the longest time it was Larence 1 and Fields 2. Then a bunch of other QBs screamed up the board somehow. Zach Wilson turned in a great season after two rather average ones. People had a whole lot of time to dream about what Lance might be able to do even though he's never really shown it on the field. Mac Jones got talked up from the 2nd round into what most people thought would be the third pick.
And through all that, somehow Fields was the one that dropped? How does that happen? He took his team to the national championship game, killing Clemson on the way and then succumbing to what's basically an NFL team in Alabama that just had it's QB, two receivers, running back and tackle go in the first round. I mean, what did Justin Fields do to get dinged down to #11?

Again?
Fields is one of the greatest HS recruits of all time at the position.
Mitch was like a 3 star guy.

Well heres one reason Fields ran a 4.4 at almost 230 pds.
Nothing against Jones, but he was surrounded by all world talent with 2 WRs going in the top 15 picks and a RB also in the 1st rd.

Yeah, that too. But i also think it shows you of what you have when you surround him with talent. Which is why a team like NE is a good pick. Hell. if ATL traded picks to get back into the top 15 it would have been a good pick.
At the end of the day, you have to make the throws. Jones does that. But again, i've been consistent with saying that if you need everything around a QB to be great for him to be great, that you don't have a great QB. I'm really intrigued by the future of Jones. I'm more interested in watching the Pats now than i ever have during the Brady dynasty.

Yeah, I love the pick and I'm cautiously excited about his potential as a franchise player, maybe ever a star if we get lucky. But he isn't the most anything of all time at this point.

Agreed, I think he's maybe like a Jared Goff type. Can do damage when he has the pieces around him, but can't do a whole lot without them.

Are you still desperately trying to deny the fact that Deshaun Watson is an elite football player? I've never seen such a sustained effort to keep one's head in the sand over a failed hot take. It almost seems personal. You aren't dating a masseuse, are you?

If he was there at 20 and the Bears took him, i would have been cool with it. But once the picks were traded and Fields was there, you would have been nuts to take Jones with this team. Whatever. Bears got a QB. Im on the moon.

And NCChiFan is Anytime23... This is getting silly.
From what I'm seeing from "professional analysts" the issue isn't Fields, but is Nagy the right guy to raise the kids potential all the way up.

So now we are already starting to make excuses if Fields doesnt pan out? Its not his fault but itll be Nagys?

That's a fair point. Also: I've worried that there are too many cooks in the QB kitchen. So I'm hoping there isn't some information overload here.
But then again, Fields is a recall genius?

It's very clear you have a personal dislike for the guy, for some reason. Everyone on the planet except you agrees he's an elite talent. Whatever it is, I hope you feel better.
