It’s funny people want to call Bryce trash for guiding the panthers to pick 1 but Fields also has that in his resume.

”Oh but the Bears team overall was bad”

oh really? 

???

The Bears #1 overall is from us, for Bryce.

He both did it and is it.

Still rooting for him but come on.

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.

If I was Atlanta I would seriously think long and hard about this QB situation.

 

Sure Fields sounds exciting, but looking at their roster and this division they could seriously make a run for a SB if they added the right QB.

 

Kirk Cousins with those weapons I could honestly see them in the NFC championship game. If they can get HFA vs San Fran they might have a shot to make the SB.

in his first 15 games Bryce Young never once showed a glimmer of being special. 

and that's not true of Fields. 

these 2 things are not the same.  Fields is his own unique quagmire.

in 2022 Fields set the #2 all time mark for rushing yards by a QB.  Fields was still offering something.   

and people called the cast around Bryce Young the BEST one assembled in a long time.  Until Bryce couldn't do anything with any of it.  People were never praising Field's entering 2022. 

Bryce Young was really bad.  No point trying to compare him to better players that disappointed.  It's always just going to end up highlighting how awful Bryce Young and we were.

If you think Ridder is better than Fields I can no longer continue this discussion.

 

 

Peace out.

It's a mild upgrade at best. Fields is not a good NFL QB. Hence why he has consistently not been good.

He is a bust, plain and simple. His best bet is to find a spot somewhere to be a #2 and work towards a Geno Smith like resurgence later in his career.

Where do you think we got that #1 pick from that we used to select Bryce? It came from the Bears who had the worst team in 2022.

Why are teams reportedly interested in trading for a bust?

 

Like cmon bro. If you hate Fields just say that. But to say he's not a starting QB in this league is crazy.

 

Zach Wilson is a bust hence no team interested in trading for him. Fields has reportedly the Falcons and Steelers interested in trading for him.

If Bryce did this we'd be looking forward to this season with a new coaching staff 

The Chicago Bears may have found a franchise quarterback in Justin Fields. While the Bears finished the 2022 campaign with the worst record in the league, the season as a whole didn't feel like an "L" due to the play of their second-year signal-caller.

Fields completed 60.4 percent of his passes for 2,242 yards, 17 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 15 games played. He made his biggest impact on the ground, as the Ohio State product rushed for 1,143 yards and eight touchdowns. It was the second-best rushing season for a quarterback in NFL history behind Lamar Jackson, and he set an NFL record by rushing for 178 yards against the Miami Dolphins in November.

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.

For a player as deep into his career as Fields is, that isn't great. 

For reference, look at Lamar, Josh Allen, and Cam Newton's third year in the NFL. That's what being a successful "running" QB in the modern NFL looks like.

Ehhh the coaches were hyped up but I don’t remember the roster being. We had just recently lost CMC and DJ.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
