Sorry but taking the 4th QB of the draft at pick 8 is terrible no matter what the QB talent is, especially one with throwing flaws like Fields who I think is closer to Jalen Hurts than anyone else

If Sam sucks we'll be in a good position to take a QB high next year

I really wanna see all these throwing flaws you speak of i really do . How somebody with crazy amount of throwing flaws  didn’t throw a crazy amount of ints while he was in college ? Fields gonna make a lot of people look stupid for passing him up .

Having a top flight Oline like OSU had, can hide a lot of flaws. That hitch in his throwing motion won't go over in the NFL. He won't have the time he had in college.

. Hence, teams got a little leery about him.

If Philip rivers can make it with his throwing motion anyone can i think that’s lazy if you don’t take someone cause there throwing motion don’t fit you. A small part of the reason  Aaron Rodgers fell in his draft and he fixed it . Throwing motions can be worked out and his isn’t even that bad it’s flick of a wrist with a slight quark

Gotta give you Rivers. But just watch Fields motion. It has a hitch in it. It adds almost a half a second to his time. Trevor, and Wilson were at .4 seconds. Jones, and Trey were at .5. Fields was at .8.

 

That doesn't seem like much, but it can be the difference between a clean throw, and one under duress. 

 

Seems piddily, but hey, he fell.

Your point is valid i just don’t see it being a huge problem i don’t love his motion either it has to grow on me  but man he has crazy arm talent that i think is being over looked he haven’t even peaked yet he still learning the position . And passing him up to  Bank on darnold is silly and will cost a lot of jobs if it turn into teddy round 2

The one thing I dont know but I feel certain is Pitts was our first choice and Sewell second which is who I preferred. And I really thought Detroit was gonna be the first team to take a defensive player and not us. But the definite is we picked our top rated defensive player on our board.

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

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
