I am with you--we made our QB choice, now lets build around him.   Sorta reminds me of the time the Cowboys drafted Aikman and gave up another #1 pick in the supplemental draft by drafting Steve Walsh.  That did not really pan out. 

Of course you could say, we gave up a 1st (2021), a second (2022), and fourth (2022) and a sixth (2021) for 2 QBs with starting potential.

Now, I have to think if Tepper was behind the Darnold move, he would also be behind the Fields decision.  Does that mean Darnold was simply insurance?  Here is the rub.  You get Darnold, and no matter what these people say about him, he has the tools to be successful.  Imagine getting #15, a second and maybe a first in 2022 to move back and take Horn, for example? 
To me, you do not put all of your resources in one basket and hope for a miracle.  You research the player, build around him, and go to war.

Sometimes I feel like Bill Cosby when Coca Cola trotted him out to tell everybody with a straight face that he liked "New Coke" better.

Of course, in the years since, I've learned that feeling like Bill Cosby probably isn't a good idea 😕

What exactly was in that Jello Pudding that he raved about so much?

You have to read those ingredients on the label.  There are some chemicals in there that are probably not good for you.

If you figure that out, then do me a favor and tell me what the hell's in Scooby Snacks that can make a complete coward ready to risk their life.

(yes, I know the theorized answer)

I will be honest--I want to see what Darnold can do and if Fields is there, I want NE to send me 2 firsts and a second or so to swap.  I think we compete in 2021 with a T and CB and maybe a WR---not 2 qbs fighting for one center's ass to grab.

Well, there's an image...

That’s not true if you study his tape.  Besides, this draft has plenty of talent at LT

Got me, I have not studied his tape-- saw him at G when i watched.  Smithers, I would love it---but I am so afraid of ignoring other positions.

    • Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .  
    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
