black writing is so vogue but this is the quote that interests me, care to elaborate on those reasons I'm honestly curious 

"We didn’t go after Fields for numerous reasons"

Outside of the Epilepsy reports that could’ve scared off people. We invested a decent amount into Darnold. Building his confidence is the first step to finding out who he really is. Getting another QB doesn’t do that. I for one was glad we didn’t after seeing his reaction to being drafted and to how he nailed his Bears interview. He gives me Haskins vibes solely on his demeanor of investing in himself. He comes off more self driven than team driven. Accolades don’t win championships, there are many franchise QBs that will tell you the same. Not saying he won’t possibly be good but he wasn’t a fit for what the FO wanted and honestly I feel confident in the way they have been drafting. Defense will always win championships. You just need a smart decision maker behind center that can show arm talent when needed.

The man put his body on the line in that Clemson game and played injured while crushing that team. He has a desire to win and was pissed at dropping in the draft. That was a “I’m going to make you regret passing on me” look. There is nothing wrong with that. I hope he does well in Chicago, but I hope Horn becomes the next Revis even more!

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
