QBs win games and CBs help make good Ds. It's the right call by Tepper but it's also time to put this staff on the clock. Start winning or get better people.

Qbs do not win games. We had one last year and he kinda sucks at winning games. CBs do not help make good Ds. We had plenty of CBs last year and did not have a good D. 

Good QB wins games and good CB makes Ds good. If we thinks Horn is a good CB thus making the D good and Fields is not a good QB helping us win games, then the pick is the right one. 

I am sure that any coach in the league would rather have a top 10 QB than a top 10 CB, but lets see if Fields is such a good QB. And lets see what Horn can do before we say taking a CB over a QB was wrong.

I’m glad Tepper didn’t overrule his staff. 

But there are good odds he was right.  No matter how much we needed a DB, in the big picture QB is still the biggest need in Carolina.  

and just from a positional impact perspective, it’s also easy for Fields to make this decision look really bad.  Given he will be playing QB for a very good Chicago team.....and DBs don’t have the same impact on games QBs do.

They just did when they drafted CB1.

Ellis said the same.

And yes, this was the right thing to do.

I will say that one of the best two CBs was there. Surtain may or may not turn out to be the best in this class.

TBD.  Horn may be the better fit in Snow’s scheme or because he is a better matchup against division competition.

how can this be true? I read on here that Tepper only cares about money, is a hands on meddling owner, and is a complete douche. I believe everything I read on teh huddlez

Good on Tepper for trusting his people. Now his people better hope they're right or they may realize they were given the rope to hang themselves with.

If Fields ends up being better than Darnold, Dave may never sit on his hands again.

And nobody could blame him.  
 

Teddy was a colossal mistake, and now if Fields turns out good and Darnold does not then I could see any owner becoming frustrated.

Fields could also have a seizure during a game one day soon which would muddy the waters greatly regarding his career.

Do you think he was #1? Or was that Sewell. Cause I feel like we would have taken Sewell if he was there.

I don’t think we see fields start this year. At least not to begin with. It seems clear by the team choice they want to develop him about behind the vet. Maybe throw him in if the vets stink it up.

I don’t expect Horn to play great this year either.  All of these guys you need to give a few years to accurately judge.
