I can’t get over his weird throwing motion and skinniness. I just don’t know if he could hold up at the nfl level 

As we all should have learned with Rivers - as long as it's repeatable it doesn't matter.

Fields is the one with the throwing motion that worries me.

Watched him for what equates to three and a half seasons of college ball. Would not bank on him ever being consistent enough to be somebodies long term #2. 

I think he has a high ceiling think he will do excellent don't understand why everyone hates on him

He throws a good pass, but I think he was super inconsistent throughout his career. He would be a pretty big project with the hope that his weaknesses are coachable. Second seems too high, but some team will reach on him. Honestly I think we would be better off drafting Newman in the 4th/5th. He looked rusty in the Senior bowl, but was away from football for a year. Showed some flashes at Wake. High potential with lower risk (later rounds vs second).

Because he was a four year starter that barely got any better over the course of his college career. His potential is likely tapped out, and he wasn’t even a game-changer at the college level. He isn’t good.

In general I think taking a QB in the second round is close to the dumbest thing an NFL team can do these days. With the premium placed on the position and the value of having the fifth year option on a QB, anyone who gets passed up 32 times should give you serious pause. Who’s the best 2nd round QB drafted in the last ten years or so? Derek Carr? Andy Dalton? They are fine starters, but not exactly someone you’re thrilled to give 15-20% of your total cap space once their rookie deal is up. 

You can’t afford to come away with non-starters in the second round, so taking a QB prospect with warts is more often than not a bad move. If you have to add a guy, take someone Day 3 that is worth a flier and has some projectable traits. You can afford for that guy to suck or only be a backup.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
