Lol

Think about…who originally had the first pick going into the 2023 draft.

my point being that Justin Fields wasn’t lighting it up either in 2022 but people on this board are claiming it’s because the team was bad but won’t give Bryce that benefit.

Im pointing out the hypocrisy more than anything. Not trashing Fields.

Well one has the physical ability to be an NFL QB and one doesn't. Fields might become a better player but Young will always struggle physically. That's the difference.

Literally the same reason people ars always interested in a QB on a rookie deal, they think they can salavage it. Remember Sam Darnold? How did that work out?

 

I'll give you some homework, find me an underperforming top 10 QB that has ever been traded during their rookie deal and ever turned it around. 

Spoiler alert: You are gonna find out that this doesn't happen. 

Well the good thing is we get to see it happen. I keep receipts so I will leave it at that.

If I am Atlanta I would go after Sam Howell instead 

100%. He showed way more flashes in one year than Fields has in three. I don't buy into Howell but I can buy into the HOPE part.

Fields....you got three years of him just not being able to get over the hump. Meanwhile you look at guys like Stroud, Cam, Mahomes, Watson, etc. Stars from the moment they saw the field. THAT is what a successful first round QB looks like in their rookie deal.

Not exactly a fair question for this situation though.

Pretty much any Top 10 picked QB that gets traded during their rookie contract, is doing so because they already look like a bust.  Most aren’t even traded, but cut, outside of Darnold, Lance, and Rosen, no other recent trades come to mind while still on their rookie deal.

This is a very unique situation where they lucked into the top pick of a draft with a generational prospect.  If this was last years class and coming off the season Fields just had, they wouldn’t be looking to trade Fields right now.

I believe Fields can give Atlanta a pretty big big boost.

What has he had, besides Moore? I’d have to look, but I don’t think much.
Just him and that running back are enough to handle. You think play action will work for them? A little.

Sure. I'll accept went elsewhere after a rookie deal too. It still comes up zero.

That's what I mean, the history of these busts turning it around is horrible. Predominantly because....well.....they are busts. You either figure it out or you don't. Doesn't mean he can't be a league backup. Doesn't even mean he might not be an eventual Geno Smith. But, it does mean he is what he is......a bust.

      In a lot of ways it makes sense to just draft a tackle early so they have flexibility with icky's injury and Motons not getting younger. I'd love for them to resign BC cause to me he looks pretty good anywhere they put him

      Goalie an Issue Again?

      Rods the one who needs to go if they don't win a cup soon, Overall I like the way Tulsky operates, do i wish he had pivoted to several smaller moves instead of going all in on a big acquisition? Obviously.   But RBA is the one I'm locked onto, he is too stuck in his ways and if if "his way" can't get somthing done he just triples down and proves his insanity by trying the same stupid crap over and over, the facebook casuals will be like but but but 8 years in a row making the playoffs.... yes we'll guess what we should have at least a cup to show for it, yes only one team wins every year but this year will be the 8th consecutive year making the playoffs.... heck none of us even get excited about that and haven't in four years minimum.  Our top guys are nearing the peak of their prime the time is now, but the canes seem content to stand pat and "make the playoffs" anther 5-8 years in a row.

      #Panthers TE Tommy Tremble has a $2 million guarantee that is triggered today at 4 p.m. I don’t expect any movement there, fwiw. Tremble is due a $3.67 million base salary this season. He has another $2.4 million in incentives on his deal, per Over the Cap. https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/2032117015121391697?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
