Thoughts on Justin Fields as a backup next season?

I still think Bryce Young is a huge question mark moving forward with his ability to stay healthy. I think we need to have a legit backup QB in case Bryce goes down with a injury or is not living up to expectations of a #1 overall pick. Why not bring in a talented QB like Fields. We know he's still growing as a QB but as a low risk high reward signing I wouldn't mind having him behind Bryce. Maybe they push each other to get better.

Lol!! Uhh no..I would keep red rifle.. need experience not another knucklehead!!! Plus Chicago will want something!! I think giving the the number 1 or 2 pick is enough!

Wait what did Fields do to make him a knucklehead?

I used the wrong wording there!! I am just not thrilled with his playing and don’t see it as an advantage having him on the bench!!  I like Dalton as a backup for one more year for Bryce!! I am hoping Bryce can get it together!! We will see with Brown calling the plays now

That's fair. Im just looking at it like low risk high reward. I think he will push Bryce knowing that he has a younger QB behind him coming for his job. Dalton is cool but we know what he is already. I think Fields would offer more to the offense if Bryce gets injured.

I see your point for a younger backup.. I am just not impressed with Fields!! Young is a huge question mark!! I was so wanting Stroud but started having hope on this staff  was seeing stuff in Young we don’t!! But again the fan base as forgotten we have switched schemes with the coaching and we just don’t have the right guys on team.. it’s an utter mess!!

He’d beat out Bryce, and I thought we were trying roll with Brycie for atleast 3 years

This is why we should bring him in. He will push Bryce. Andy Dalton just can't apply that kind of pressure. I want to see what Bryce looks like with a legit QB behind him.

    • All I can say is... I have some happiness off the rags choking and losing to the Panthers. Hopefully the Western conference team wins the Stanley cup, but now I can be 100% uninvested in the playoffs 
    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
