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

So now we pivot to not starting the first overall pick we traded for. The Huddle would have shititspants

There is no shame anymore in these debates.

Who gives a poo about if he's the first pick or not. He's either the best QB to start or he isn't. If he's not giving you the best chance to win, his butt needs to be on the bench. 

Playing a QB that isn't ready does nothing but hurt your team.

He’s not a good QB.  Period.  Sorry that hurts fee fees.

I mean, Bryce looked horrible.  We should have spent a 6th on him.   He is better that whoever our 3rd QB will be.  

Steelers acquired Wilson and Fields for less than we spent on Sam Darnold.  It’s what they have won every season for a decade plus and we are the worst in all pro sports. 

they do smart things.

Fields, Pickett, and Howell all had better rookie grades and have had higher ceiling plays than BY. None of them have dipped near Bryce's 56 pff grade on any season. Don't be surprised if he has another clanker that we get a 6th for him, not even conditional, just a 6th or release him to the Manning passing academy or for some reason he'll get a media job like multiple QB busts

Some people still can't comprehend that if fields were any good he wouldn't have been traded in the first place?

Filed under ‘what goes around comes around’. By the same token if Bryce were any good they'd have used the pick themselves.

It's not like Fields went into an ideal situation, unlike what Caleb Williams will be going into.  How good would Fields look if the Niners had drafted him instead of trading up for Lance?  Fields is better than you think.

Caleb walking into DJ, Allen, Swift is what the Panthers should have done for Bryce

Fine points, but I’m not mad we didn’t trade for a backup.  We all know they aren’t giving up on the munchkin.

Fields wouldn’t get us where we want to go so ultimately pointless.

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.

Yeah, they traded a 6th rounder for a one year rental backup guy. I wouldn't hage even bothered wasting a 6th on that.

They probably just wanted to get a look at him to see if he is worth a developmental contract once next season is over. The price is right for that sort of move.

He isn't going to win us anything if Bryce goes down. Nor is Bryce going to learn anything from him. A veteran QB makes way more sense in our scenario.

Well the league thinks he is worth a 6th rounder. 

I think that's about right. He is a 6th round caliber QB.

Fields may not hage had ideal conditions but he never progressed over three years. That's basically Sam Darnold. He is who he is.

Yeah, never understood the hype with this guy. He's not terrible, but you aren't winning it all with him. Why waste your time once you know that? Same can be said with Bryce if he doesn't show significant improvement this year.

He would look like absolute garbage in shanahan's offense because he can't read the field and pull the trigger in a timely manner.

Granted, he could have been coached better in SF and therefor looked better, but as things stand now he just isn't a starting QB in the league.

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
