If we've done our homework on Fields and we don't like him then it is what it is.

Then again, we did our homework on Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Darnold too, so... oh wee mayne.

Darnold has not been given a chance outside of the hell that was NY.  I think you are prejudging him too harshly-you might be right, but I think we all agree that he will improve.  The debate is really about how much.

Possibly. Unless it's Sewell. 

Verge, is what you are hearing here--that the draft seems to be more unpredictable this year than in previous years---shared by the people in the know, or do they have a pretty firm grasp on what is probably going down?  May not be a fair question...

I was concerned about his turnover issue in college, but did a little research to make myself feel better.

It all just depends on how high of a grade we have on Fields. Maybe Sewell will be there making it an easy decision.

That's my issue. Yeah, I think he'll improve but there's a massive gap between what he's been and where he needs to get. I just don't see it happening.

That's what I'm thinking.  I don't blame us for taking a shot, the cost was (relatively for a QB) minimal.  I do think there were better players to take a shot on.  I know lots of people say "but NY screwed him" . . . and maybe so.  But probably not.

Look at the comparable situations.

Mark Sanchez . . . looks eerily similar to Darnold.  High draft pick, low games played in college - at USC no less.  Actually took care of the ball pretty good in college, but clearly couldn't figure it out in the NFL.  Left NY, no change.  Still bad.

Chad Pennington . . . actually had one good season in NY . . . but never made it.  Another high pick in NY.  Left NY and never fully put it together.  You could argue his best season was his third in NY.

Geno Smith?  Not drafted first round.  Another failed QB in NYC.

I'm afraid that the problem is that no one up there knows how to evaluate a QB.  And we now bought in to that problem.

He's our QB, I'll certainly root for him to put it together.  But I also have no problem seeing us take a rookie if one we like drops to us.

True.  But what I expect what they’ll be getting Offer wise for Fields.  Will make it too hard to pass up, even for Sewell 

I’m with Verge and others who have said, ‘don’t overthink this’.  Take Sewell at 8 and end the revolving door at LT for the next 10 years.  Just my opinion.  YMMV

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By strato · Posted

      I did a for instance quick look at the Green Bay game, stats and PFF.  102 yards passing, he graded 42 decimal point something I just glanced at it.   Probably not overrating him, it was one of the lowest scores for the team.   So I wasn’t being real accurate relative to that particular game with the over grading comment. But I don’t know, I still think there are probably other examples like what you cited where he did get some generous grades.

      Canales' O - Year 2

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I’m trying to see the light at the end of the playcalling tunnel, but don’t know if it will be there. If Canales passes off playcalling duties, I don’t see how he doesn’t give it to Idzik. I truthfully don’t know what Idzik does nor if he’s up for the job. I don’t see a world where Canales passes him over unless he’s instructed to, and I don’t get that feeling after making the playoffs in year two.  I also don’t want Canales calling plays anymore. I can’t tell if BY is holding him back or if his playbook is that predictable, vanilla and determined to create a new style of offense that is dominated by screens and checkdowns.   My gut says you plug 20 of 32 other starting NFL QBs not named Bryce in and this offense moves more. It’s wild because the times that Young does uncork it a bit, he has had more success….sans his signature out route lobs that have the zip of a paper airplane.
