Breaking from Sheena Quick: We passed on Justin Fields and began the trade for Darnold post Ohio St pro day

[Verge]

She just said so on twitter live that Fit saw something during the pro day that turned them off from Fields. Take whatever you want from that information.

She is on a live right now:

Did you mean to show us every single one of their tweets today? Lmao

[Shocker]

I mean clearly they moved off Fields at some point.  This isn’t surprising.  Jury is out on Fields

[TheCasillas]

I’m pretty this was assumed by the fan base after the draft went down the way it did 

[LinvilleGorge]

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.

[TheBigKat]

Did they attend Slater’s pro day?

[BIGH2001]

Now Fields is 2-1 as a starter and the guy we took in his place is out for the year with a non-contact injury. And Darnold kinda sucks and will never be the guy to get us to a super bowl anyway. 

[TLGPanthersFan]

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.

Imagine the hell Teddy had to endure playing without CMC for all but three games in 2020. Sam is making me miss Teddy and that's pretty sad.

[pantherj]

The jury is out on Fields, but whoever pushed for Sam probably has their job on the line. If Sam doesn't stop playing like Jets Sam heads will roll.

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.

I haven't watched fields play so i can't really say whether i care or not. From highlights i've seen he looks meh

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

I'm deeply concerned about the decisions we've been making at the QB position.
