Fields may of shown something that made the coaches discouraged but he would be a rookie with no former damage that could be brought up and molded into a franchise QB and they could coach whatever they saw out of him potentially.

But 3 years of tape made them think, yeah this Darnold guy looks like the real deal. Even though he is damaged goods, smh.

With a solid O-line Sam can be a decent starter but he will never be Elite.

Could Fields have some issues? Sure.  Even Trevor did coming out.  

Would be curious to know what the concerns were…..and then hear them kicking around all Sam’s issues.  

I think Sam looks pretty much like NY Sam. No real change IMO.  The outcome is just better given our team is so much better around him.    And Sam had good stretches even in NY.  I think the retelling of Sam’s time in NY is often of a fictional player that never played well.  He did.  Then he would have games like today.  It’s what he does.

Passing on Fields due to our evaluation of him? Okay. Fine.

I'd just like to have been a fly on the wall watching us evaluate all the film of Sam Darnold hitting defenders between the numbers in NY. Because the last two weeks we've seen that Sam Darnold suiting up for the Panthers.

If Darnold doesn’t pan out and Fields keeps developing, we need someone else evaluating QBs. Teddy was already a mistake…

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By Seltzer · Posted

      By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though

      Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.

      That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
