Justin Fields is 7/9.  You gotta throw the ball more than that if you're losing by this much.

That's why I don't get too heavy into the Horn vs Fields talk.  What I've watched of Fields, he appears to be not much different than so many QBs who have come through and been average to bad in their careers.  Why?  Because for all his incredible talent and natural physical gifts, he seems to lack the in-game mental part.  Just like Darnold, whom so many "experts" loved for his physical gifts and abilities, he seems to struggle with processing what he's seeing, so if the first read or two isn't there he panics.  Difference is, Fields is such an incredible athlete, he's been able to make some amazing plays with his legs once he doesn't trust his eyes or arm.  But, that isn't a sustainable form of offense and isn't much different than what they did with Trubisky because he had the same problem.  They don't trust what they're seeing, and that's what separates the greats from the bums.  I don't see Fields being an elite passer now or in the future, because it's generally something guys either have or they don't.

I've said it before, but the whiff wasn't taking Horn over Fields.  In retrospect, it looks like the mistake was taking Horn over Surtain.

Micah parsons is an animal.  Much rather have him then horn

I was here saying we should have drafted Parsons in the first Trask in the second that season.

Both could be helping right now. Not trying to take credit, just saying huddlers shouldn't be out gm'ing the Panthers.

Not sure I would say it yet. Horne has still only played five games.  And some said the same thing regarding Ridley and DJ Moore but eventually, taking DJ turned out to be the right choice.

Yeah, I know there is still time, and I always believed in DJ more, for whatever its worth.  But idk, Horn just looked so much more impressive in limited looks as a rookie.  To me, he looks a lot more stiff, slower, and flat-footed this season.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      The Jets and Bill's are statistically worse
