Is Fields "Cam Lite" or is he Vick with better passing skills?

I think Cam lite. Cam was power and Fields looks a good bit less physical. Both have an arm but Cam looked stronger. Fields has some great speed. I'll go with Cam lite. I don't know much about his personality, looked like he had fun with the other players a bit like Cam did from what I have seen.

I’m not feeling any of the Fields comparisons made in here. He reminds me a bit like McNair but with the build of Cam. I don’t think he’s a sure thing but when he’s been at his best, he looks unstoppable. I don’t think he is interviewing well though.
 

I do think we love Wilson but there’s no way we’re getting him. Lance may also be high on our list but we may not be willing to trade up.

Really wish we could’ve somehow landed Lawrence. That would have been so money with the team in place. 
 

I was a fan of Mond in 2019, then fell out of flavor but I definitely see what some say about him. Maybe we just land Sewell/Slater and target Mond?

What I’m reading is that he is closely being compared to Watson or tall Russ wilson

Good comps. I keep forgetting how much more R Wilson ran in college. 

Watson is intriguing but there is something about Fields' game that is different that's bugging me but don't know what.

That's a comparison I could see.

LG and I were discussing that earlier. Fields might be about as fast as Vick but he doesn't seem quite as elusive.

Vick ran a 4.3 at his Pro Day (and was clocked at 4.2 by some).

Don't undersell his speed - he was a freak athlete. He made NFL players look like they were running in quicksand.

My thing with Vick wasn't as much his speed as how elusive he was.

LG compared his running style to that of a punt returner more so than a runningback. I think that's a good analysis.

To be perfectly clear though, I've never really given a sh-t about how fast or how well quarterbacks run.

Show me how accurately they can throw a pass and how well they can read a defense. That's really all I need to know.

If they've got athletic ability on top of that, cool. If they have athletic ability but can't pass well, not interested.

Outside of Lawrence I don’t think any QB prospect in this class is a day 1 difference maker. Fields maybe because of his running ability. All will need time to develop.

I think Lance has the chance to be one of the best of the group if he goes to the right team.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
