So...you use " MoveTheSticks", but I can't use 15 guys arguing the draft that were iffy on Fields? Ok then.

 

Once Fields throwing motion made the rounds folks started souring on him.

 

I'm done. You're mad at the QB room. I ain't wasting any more time on this. So sorry we didn't make you happy by taking the 3rd or 4th best QB. 

MoveTheSticks isn’t a vague reference.  It’s specific.  I named him.  He is a NFL scout.  With real scouting connections on teams.  He said the Panthers had Fields as the #2 QB in this draft. 

Who you got saying the Panthers had him as the 4th best QB.

and his release motion allowed him to be the overall most accurate QB in this draft who rarely turned it over.....

think the Bears learned a lesson after overthinking the obvious when it comes to QBs.   Fields is the Watson of this draft.   

And Tim Tebows release motion allowed him a 64%+ completion and barely turned it over either with two titles to go with it. Means nothing at the NFL level other than more time for the DB to get there.

Luckily for Fields he is smarter than The Golden Calf of Bristol and clearly has been working on it but he isn't DW.

Context was MoveTheSticks said Carolina was debating between two players as the Panthers were on the clock.  Fields and Horn.  And they had Fields as their 2nd rated QB in this draft. 

 

 

Obviously Brady thinks he can get more out of Darnald than NYJ did because Fitters is known for drafting multiple QBs.

Literally zero chance that's true.

Or there's a Grand Canyon sized gap between their evaluation of Lawrence and Fields. You don't pass up a CB, no matter how good he is, if you think there's a franchise QB at your pick. 

Well the former NFL scout.  With a legit rep.   With legit NFL scouting connections.... said it was true.    

I’m sure Rhule will be asked bluntly about it at some point too.

So he's going to harass 22 masueses?

No, just the clear cut talent and winner people comically over scrutinized while doing the opposite to everyone else in the picture.   I mean the Watson comparison of what was going on was made before Watson’s scandal broke too.  It’s not some draft day creation.

Pleas quit quoting me. I am done with this silly take of yours. Fields dropped for a reason.

 

Fields went somewhere else. Deal with it.

Players drop all the time.  Long list of guys in the first round too where that was proven  to be a massive mistake by teams letting them drop. 
 

don’t reply if you don’t want to be quoted.  Internet ain’t that hard boss.

Yeah, we got a top talent. Yet that is not enough for some of these...folks

I just struggle being happy with a guy who got destroyed by DeVonta Smith. While Smith and Fields were still there. Yeah if we were picking 10 to 16 great choice but at 8 its a reach this year.

So...Horn started what? 30 games. And had 1 bad game against the Heisman Trophy  winner. 

 

It is a passing league. Hence, it is a defend the pass league. We just got a guy who excels at defending the pass.

 

We had 1 1st round pick. Does it matter where we picked, as long as we got a top talent?

Exactly, why focus on passing the ball and scoring points.

We all know the real way to win is to limit points.

For the record, NFL teams don't release their Draft boards... ever.

I watched a Ravens 'behind-the-scenes' video with their GM today and they were still blurring out laptop screens with their 2020 Draft boards on a year later.

So I seriously doubt someone has told this person that Fields was QB #2 for them.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
