After separating his should two plays earlier and running the ball on the play before the interception THAT HIT HIS RB IN THE HANDS. 

that was on fields 100%!!! He didnt set his feet and he threw the ball while jumping in the air, and he over threw him....  I get defending a player.... but your defense for Fields and Stroud today is pretty heavy handed with very little supporting evidence. 

 

They are not good field readers... Some QBs just dont have that ability.

not as a passer.... he still has the same issues he had last year.... lets not forget the last time Fields dropped back for a pass it was an interception...

Did you see the INT? It was deflected off his guy’s hands. Context is very important with stats.

“The ball went off Montgomery’s hands.” The commentator understands.

We absolutely should not consider drafting Stroud.  He is not perfect.  Next year, there will be perfect QBs or us to choose from if we just tank.  If not, there will be the year after that.  All we have to do is tank in 2024 for that chance.  If not......

The best is the enemy of the good, said Voltaire.

I saw enough throws from him today to be okay if he is a Panther next year.  Is he Peyton Manning?  No, but if we are going to wait for the second coming of Peyton Manning out of college we will be waiting for a loooong time.  Does he have work to do?  Sure.....even Peyton Manning did. 

At some point, you take your shots and hope for the best, and we are at that point. 

Or, we keep waiting for perfect.

This literally backs what I said. Show me where I lied.

so weird watching these posters who watch these games hoping to see these players make a mistake (and obsessing over every one) because they so desperately want to avoid drafting a QB

(or draft some mid round future backup they “discovered”)

oh yeah thats on the RB not the QB at all.....

Nobody said Fields wasn’t at fault. I simply added context. He was playing with a separated should, torn ligaments and the ball STILL HIT HIS RB IN THE HANDS. 

Where do I say MONTY was to blame? Where did I say Fields wasn’t to blame?

I didnt say you lied... I just said you have had little suporting evidence. You have been speaking in opinion today. When offered data .. you have used your opinion as an outweighing point. That's all Im referring to.

I get it, I am the same way when Im out drinking at a bar talking sports, so I assume thats what you are up to today.

That quote wasnt to you.... it was to the other poster that said it was the RBs fault...

None of what I wrote was opinion about that play. 

Fact: He was playing with a separated shoulder.

Fact: He separated it two plays before this pass.

Fact: He ran the ball on the next play.

Fact: The ball still hit his RB in the hands.

Fact: I never said it was a good throw. 

Fact: I never said Monty was to blame.

Fact: I never said Fields wasn’t to blame.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
