I am not convinced that Chicago loves Fields so much as they want the extra draft picks and don't see Young or Stroud as so much better  than Fields. So keeping Fields and getting the picks is a much better value than trading him away and keeping the number 1 pick.

Just say fields magically is entered in this draft. He would be the clear #1 and I was no fan of his two years ago. not a big fan of anyone this year, minus Carter whos a better Dbrown.....weird year.

Jags had the #1 overall pick last year.  It wasn’t because of Trevor Lawrence. 

It was their horrific HC and absence of talent around the QB.  Good HC and some basic additions at RB, WR and TE and boom. 

Fields went to a horrible situation.  Talent coming out his ears.  Calling him Josh Rosen like is just weird stuff IMO. 

 

FYI you are arguing with quite literally one of the worst posters on this site

Actually a lot of it was Lawrence. He was not good but again few rookies are. And yeah they were a dumpster fire as well. But that is not the same case with Chicago. I hate to say it but how many qbs have ever been good for Chicago?

I remember everyone saying he was a project. Why would that have changed.

Not necessarily. How did Lawrence do his rookie year??  Assuming anyone out the gate will immediately shine is not reality for most all. So we pick Stroud and he is middling.  Then what. And I don't think Young or Stroud will be franchise changing.  IMHO. 

So you don't think Young or Stroud will be, but you think Corral will? I don't trust your assessment of QBs if that's the case.

Says the guy who changes his alt all the time and thinks it funny to act like a middle schooler and poo on everyone's post he doesnt like or in this case stalk me around the site. Truth is you are much closer to that title than I am. But unlike you I ignore you for the most part until you make personal attacks.

Cause hes showed some real NFL skills in real games. That is enough for me, the others are unknowns. Yea its mainly with legs, but also look at that terrible roster......I dont thinks theres a worst offense group......poor OL, whos at WRs(they traded for claypool who did nothing), got a decent TE, and RB does have the best piece in montgomery. Fields pulled some miracles.

I mean, you pair a rookie QB with the worst HC in decades and give him bad talent….and he won’t play good.  Trevor didn’t.   I guess call that what you want. 

They fixed the glaring issues around an uber talent and saw immediate success.  From #1 overall pick to advancing in the playoffs in the same year.  Trevor didn’t change that much in an off-season.  

Fields went to a horrific spot year 1.  It improved some year 2 and so did he.  But still isn’t a good spot for a QB let alone a young one.  

I’d take him for a 3rd all day and twice on Sunday.    Regardless of what my QB spot was.

I don't think he will be great either out of the chute. I would have a vet to start and put in our younger guys as they are ready to take over. If you read my posts you would know I don't like to start rookies unless you have to or they are an exceptional talent. For example look at how well Bradberry is playing now. You remember how often he was abused as a rookie.....

What kind of apples and oranges is that? Comparing a QB draft choice with a guy in the NFL.  The point is while they might think that Young or more likely Stroud  might be better, that isn't the choice. It is whether keeping Fields and a bunch of picks is better than picking Young or Stroud at 1. And that is an easy one.

Keep Fields and get some dumb team to do what SF did for Lance. 

got to wonder if the last QB trade ups are going to cause outlandish offers to comeback down to Earth a tad.

Again over the last 5 years with the exception of Mac Jones, what rookie qbs who played all season  had winning records their rookie year.  No matter where they were picked.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
