Division Talk: Falcons are heavy favorites to land Justin Fields


Recommended Posts

Thoughts?

Article:

The Bears seem to be preparing to trade quarterback Justin Fields. The Falcons might be preparing to trade for him.

The Falcons are the overwhelming favorites to land Fields in the odds set by DraftKings Sportsbook.

Atlanta is at -225, with the Bears next at +240. The Steelers come in at +340, and the Raiders are at +800.

The Patriots have +1500 odds, with the Broncos at +2000.

At one point, DraftKings removed the odds. They have since returned.

The Bears need to move quickly, if they’re going to trade Fields. With other quarterbacks available, seats will be filled quickly as free agency approaches. The longer the Bears wait, the greater the chance there won’t be a taker.

That could force the Bears to keep Fields until after the first round of the draft concludes, hopeful that a team targeting a quarterback in round one doesn’t get the player it wants. If that doesn’t happen, the Bears could be stuck.

Teams can agree to the terms of a trade currently. No deal can become official until March 13 at 4:00 p.m. ET.

Betting lines everywhere on everything these days... jeebus. 

Yea im beyond sick of watching gambling ads non-stop. I know with even a DVR, if you see a gambling ad, its either the first commercial or game is back. Its a super turn-off, but I know the beast thats its become. 

But like my old friend that was a Correctional Officer told me about gambling- " You can not stop inmates form doing it, they will bet on which water droplet fails first or which fly leaves first ". I feel that way about drugs too....

Im just fatigue about it among many things force on us especially if its hypocritical or BS.

I like Fields so I'd prefer him stay out of the division. I like Mayfield too so it already sucks having him in the division.

I think if atl gets a decent or baker like QB, they will win the division with ease. They have about everything(edge is missing) you want/need, just missing that important QB. Plus he doesnt need to be great, just not bad. 

Just if I was a QB or the agent of one, alllll those weapons at RB, WR, and TE. OL is decent and the whole offense unit has under-performed. They could be down right scarey with a real QB. Is that fields? Thats a tough call, never was a fan, but he has improved. If he kept getting better, it would be a 10 year nightmare for the NFC south.

It would definitely be a good landing spot for Fields. I'd like to find out if he's legit and being held back by the Bears or if that's just who he is - extremely talented but wildly inconsistent.

    • Very Odd, seems someone is lying about the "love" between Seattle and canales.  I did read some about B.johnson and he said he wanted a stable good job and that 5 out 8 teams that filled this past season, will be open again in three years. I somewhat get his point, but he's lost millions the past two years waiting. Plus great job are never open cause great team don't fire their HCs. He put lots of time and sweat into the lions and wanted to enjoy the good times longer.    I do think tepper made other coaches not want to be here. That all-star staff had as you stated had connections around the league and coaches are no different when someone contracts them and goes " How was it Carolina ??'.... " Love the area, hated the work environment/owner". They did get Brian Callahan to interview and had a 2nd one lined up, but in just one interview titans hired him. I'd much rather had him or just name evero HC instead.  Nobody wanted Ron Rivera either and he interviewed everywhere. No one wants this job..... even the jags got recent SB winning Doug Peterson.... I truly think Carolina coaching rep is in the dump and they fuged up waiting for Callahan. Panic move. This is my pure guess too, Jim Caldwell is the acting/real HC and canales is the OC.
    • I go back to the hole the Panthers put themselves in and his positive track record with getting production from ‘problem’ QBs. Which, we have one.  I go to the idea people were putting forth on these younger HC prospects - that maybe you take a guy early and let him grow and give him all the help you can. Like a QB go figure. I think that is pretty much where it is right now. I think Canales could be good.   
    • It's like with Friterer was the same as Canales. 'He's a great guy' and everyone loves him but Seattle had a HC opening with ties and no interview, even with a playoff appearance in a weak NFCS to boost his name. The NFL is all about ties and connections. It's so much more a small pond than most sectors could be so the corporate NFL bs is sooooo much thicker. All of those openings and no HC interviews? B Johnson is an anomaly, like a Kiffin, where usually you have guys that will go whereever to take a promotion even if it looks terrible for a distance, Wilks to Arizona comes to mind. It's weird and interesting how the NFL mirrors and then deviates from the rest of corporate America in their MOs.
