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 am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.

      Dan Marino sucked too I guess. Washed up Elway carried by Terrell Davis was actually better than prine Elway. Lol
