What a weird trade, especially as he won't play in Pittsburgh unless Wilson gets injured

I'd have just kept him if I were them, that's not worth it

Keeping him wasn't worth the divided locker room that it would've created according to every NFL player turned analyst that I've heard speak about it (which was probably 5+). They intimately understand the dynamics of the locker room, so I respect what they say. Dissention in the locker room is a team killer (e.g. 2023 Eagles).

The fact is that all the first and second round talk was essentially media-driven. It was never in the cards. If Fields was worth that, they wouldn't have put him on the trade block. 

The best thing they could've done is be realistic and move on towards the future (similarly to what we did with Burns). Fields was never their guy kand he didn't do enough to be anyone's guy at the moment. He's a throwaway at worst, or talented project that may become a viable starter at some point future at best.

Imagine what we gave up for Darnold.

I told people he would be cheap. We didn't bring him in because they know he would beat Bryce for the starting job.

Our QB Coach would have beaten Young out in a fair competition last year and he's 44.

So strange.

You should cancel your PSLs again over this affront!

Yea, one of the worse trades in panthers history. Only way I stayed sane during that dumbass trade was seeing the Wilson and Watson trades look much worse. 

Jets got fitterereerer to call their buff, should have said " Well dougluas good luck on going to training camp with darnold and Wilson circus that is NY media sperging at every throw..

So why waste another pick when you can just roll with Bryce and make that decision in 2025 and use the capital saved to address other needs?

It would just be more poor asset management throwing more draft picks at QBs when the team as a whole was a dumpster fire last season.

Give Bryce another shot and see what we actually have.

We know what we have - a non-NFL QB under C.

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

We may want a more traditional pocket passer.

I was just saying the market value for young QBs is either multiple 1sts or late 6th round.....soooo weird. No mid market cost, either kings haul or peanuts

Steelers 2023 QB room was early 1st,  mid 1st, and mid 3rd....allll young and each had starts in which they showed some skills. 

ALL GONE

2024 QB room a guy that two years was traded for 1sts, 2ns, 5th, former 1st, former early QB 2nd, and rotation DLmen. 2020 9th overall pick who gotten better each start. One of the cheapest total cost in the NFL.

Do we want to trade any more picks to the bears for what most believe is a bad QB?

Seriously, think about this. Just how low do you want to go? Think of the optics on the Burns fiasco.

Then multiply that by 10,890.

We sell the farm so we can trade for BY then give them a other pick for the QB they wanted nothing to do with.
