The joke will be on them if Jones turns out to be better than Lance, which is not a huge stretch considering how much better Jones was in college. Lance is a huge gamble. I'll admit he has intriguing talent, but so did many other QB prospects who flopped who were way more proven than Lance.

If Jones or Fields turns out better. It's very easy to see scenarios where they come out of this looking every bit as bad as the Bears did trading up for Trubisky. Time will tell. Maybe they're brilliant, maybe they're idiots.

Lance would have to be a big bust to not perform better than Jones, IMO.

Fields, hard to say. But if Fields is a big success, we will also look like idiots.

Yep. If Fields is a hit Darnold is gonna have to be as well for us not to come out of this off-season looking like morons.

Literally every GM after the draft says they got their guy. This isn't nor ever was a smoke screen, there was no one to fool and no one was going to be fooled regardless. This just reeks of people trying to come off as smarter than they actually are, maybe next time don't out smart yourself when it's 28-3 Kyle.

To a point...

If you're in the top two or three, chances are pretty good you really did get your guy.

Honestly, I think Fields made the most sense. Lance definitely has talent, but man... they bet BIG on a guy who just hasn't shown a whole lot with his arm and did all his running against guys who are going to be HS football coaches or accountants.

He made Chinn look bad.

When does his HS job start?

He would have beaten UNC NC State and Duke last year if they played.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
