Justin Fields traded for bag of chips, why couldn’t we get Gerber competition?

[top dawg]

I was thinking that the moves the Steelers have made have everything to do with trying to appease Tomlin and get him to stay.

Zach Wilson can’t be worth anything more than a late pick swap at best 

By the looks, he's cut and stays home for awhile......then a QB injury hits and he's called for a try-out only. 

I mean Im not a fan (just like fields, Howell, Pickett, etc) but he's got elite skills and I don't just say that. 2nd overall and just a awful big city fit. He's still young.

Plus if you look at the last 4 drafts and focus on QBs, my God it's a horror show!! Like 2 decent picks and 25 terrible ones....WHY would any team trade up with those odds...Just wait a year or two and send a late 6th and the 3rd overall pick in 2022 is yours.....lance, Pickett, fields, Wilson, etc etc etc.

This can’t be true. The huddle told me for years that tanking is necessary to get a top qb. You must be misinformed!

[Shocker]

A sixth round pick?  Damn

[Basbear]

I swear there will be more Geno Smith like comeback stories from these QBs in the last 4 QBs.

Why are teams heavy investing in prime capital and giving up after a couple years? Terrible way to handle these young men. 

Plus it seems the Panthers set value for former 1st round QBs, that 5th looks too much now and I thought it was well worth the risk. 

What the fug is going with this panic league two QB craziness?

You cannot tell me allll these GMs, scouts, and coaches are wrong after two years on nearly every QB pick.

Damn, you guys want to go through the Darnold situation again while we already have a young guy under contract?

As soon as we trade for him we'd have to choose to pick his 5th year option up. Then if (when) he sucks, you owe him all that money like Darnold, or you don't sign him and you rent him as a backup for a year and let him walk which would be pointless.

...I get it...but we're still on the QB carousel....

Trevor Lawrence who played TERRIBLE this past year is the #2 crown jewel form this list?? Pickett, ridder, Howell, lance, fields, and Jones have already been traded for Subway coupons. Wilson, Trask, Corral and Mond have either been cut and going to be. 

Bust central and this list could be worse after the 2024 season

"Passing league" side affects. Requiring young qbs to be all pros out the gate in pass happy situations

This wouldn't be a conversation if we didn't force Chicago the #1 pick.

 

If the Bears are picking 5th overall they are keeping Fields as their starting QB.

Caleb Williams is a punk and probably required it.

[Tr3ach]

It makes 0 sense in our current situation.   He has another season on his cheap rookie contract and then we would have to pay him.  You dont want to overpay a mediocre qb.   I see literally no benefit.   Bryce is our qb this season win, lose, or draw.  If we lose then we draft his replacement next season.  There are no quick fixes or half ass bandages.

I hope we are done trading for shitty qbs.

My crystal ball says the same package could be had for Bryce in 2026.
