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

You should cancel your PSLs again over this affront!

I don't care where you're from, that right there is funny.

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.

We have Dalton why would we need Fields? We get it you don’t like Bryce 

[Jackie Lee]

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

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.

Justin and Bryce went into similar situations.

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.
