A QB can only do so much when the rest of your team is god awful.

Me? I do not know the first thing about the development of a rookie QB in the NFL... I was just mentioning what I've been seeing on ESPN, FOX Sports, NBC Sports analyzing the pick.

Nagy wanted a dual threat QB who can run and score Fields can do that way better then Jones. If they had a much better O line that could protect a pure pocket passer then maybe Jones would have been their guy. I'm happy with him playing for the Bears and representing Chitown.

This is purely a guess on my part, but if you're a guy like Shanahan I imagine the appeal to a guy like Lance is his rawness allows you to develop him exactly the way you want.
That said, I could have sworn I saw a tweet that said he was picked without Shanahan knowing.

This. He was Trubisky 2.0. He might end up being good but Fields has been a heralded prospect since high school and an accomplished 2 year starter. Similar to Watson in that regard. So this was like the opposite of the 2017 draft where they took the guy that had a better pedigree.

I will also point out Jones top 2 WRs got drafted before him, his top OT was drafted 2 spots after him and his RB was drafted at 24. He played with a loaded deck. Ohio State made the NC game but their talent on O was not to the level of Bama.
Put another way, if you put Fields on Bama and Jones on OSU, I think Bama still wins the NC game so would not put much stock into that game.

You mean the game Fields played at 70% with an injury? Some here dont notice that.

Jesus Christ, for their sake i hope thats not true. Shanny is too good. This isn't John Fox we're talking about.

Fields' OL was straight trash too.

Yep, I forgot about the injury myself.
In many respects it was like the Super Bowl. Sure Brady was great but he had like only 4 pressures while Mahomes had a Super Bowl record 28 or something.

I've watched a lot of Fields tape and he was under duress a TON.
We have to go OL for this guy man, he delivers some beautiful throws from a clean pocket.

Jones would get killed with the Bears OL.

Fields will be accepted by the pack almost immediately. Jones gives off a lone wolf Cutler vibe. Fields leadership is one of his best attributes.

IMHO, Fields is the better player of the two RIGHT NOW. Jones isn't bad though, but Fields has more experience.
Lets see what happens in two years after Jones has had good coaching, and Fields has had Nagy.
That's my only worry.

Teams passed on him for one reason. EPILEPSY. Dont let them fool you with the bs excuses. That scared teams away. Theyre idiots.

I see what youre saying but its possible. What qb can run a 4.4, has a cannon, accurate and has the potential to be an elite pocket passer? Guys that play like JF usually arent elite passers. He could be a guy who can throw like Rodgers and run like Lamar jackson.
