One coach played a second half to not lose and one played to win. Props to Lawrence. I long for the days we have a QB who can flip a switch like that and bring the team back down big.

Imagine having a QB who can bring you back into games.

He has better wheels than I remember

It sounds crazy but I agree with this.

It was just a weird pick. I was certain they were going Jones but the pick should have been Fields.

It’s why it was stupid for SF to trade all those picks for a QB back then.

Trey Lance and Jordan Love… poor dudes. If Lance could get healthy he would throw to the most open WR in the NFL.

It drive the value up because there would be less top-end prospects in the draft at the position. It would come down to Young and Levis and Richardson being the only round 1 guys. So if you are a team committed to picking QB early in the draft it lessens the amount of choices you have. For instance, if Levis and Richardson returned to school it would leave Young as the only top QB in the draft. So every team would be competing to trade for just 1 guy. Folks were likely going into this thinking if you can’t get Young then Stroud is a heck of a consolation prize. Read most of the takes here on the draft order and folks typically have Stoud and Young close together and then there’s a massive drop to 3 and 4 for Levis and Richardson. This would drastically widen the gap between Young and the new #2 so you can trade to first overall and know you got your guy or risk waiting and have to settle for a “significantly lesser” QB on paper.

I know I am high on Fields compared to others here but I think him coming here with DJ and a good offensive line would more than cancel out learning a new offense. And who knows… maybe a new coach would try to poach Getsy from the Bears to help him out.

That doesn’t make sense. He can go pro and get 20+ million dollars vs 4 million for staying in college. Luck stayed back a year and it damn sure wasn’t because the thought he would be an average or below average QB in the NFL.

There’s a rumor going on that Stroud is being offered a vast NIL deal to remain in school. Has three days left to declare.

It’s not even an accurate statement but college productivity also doesn’t mean much when it comes to the pros. Look at college duds like Josh Allen.

How are you comparing Fields who was an elite passer in college and not a runner to Richardson?

I think many folks were worried about his injury past, only to watch him get injured again, while looking awful in the preseason.

We’ve been building a team around no QB for years. It’s not working.

No we need a QB. Find something to trade other than DJ.

I’d have no problem trading our pick for Fields. I don’t believe the Bears would accept it.

If you trade DJ to the Bears you are basically asking the new QB here to throw to targets worse then Justin Fields has had the last two years. Basically you’d be setting them up for failure.

Yeah I took it as him saying we could take a QB so make sure you offer us enough compensation to make it worth us to move from #1

Just that he’d be the 2023 starter

Weren’t Fields advanced passing numbers in college even better than Young and Stroud? Obviously they are better than Levis and Richardson.

Any franchise who would come out and say they have no interest in drafting QB at the #1 overall pick is lessening the value of their pick in a trade. Cmon.

I absolutely loved the Dwarves. My favorite part of the show.

For sure. And if Luck was in the same class as Cam we would have drafted Luck for sure.
