No one is "magical." Some QB's are never going to make it no matter their coaching situation.

Exactly. There are only 32 starting QBs in the league. How many colleges are there? lol. Not everyone is cut out to start in the league or even be a backup.

Why he is a good athlete terrible qb.  He did terrible with rhe bears they ditched him for a rookie qb who is way outperforming him.  He was givin every chance with steelers and is now benched for russel wilson.   I would rather any rookie

I mean, you do have to acknowledge the stark difference in situations/talent that Caleb Williams finds himself in vs what Fields did. 

Fields has great talent around him to succeed out of the gate.  Fields didn't.  

Andy Dalton in his entire, long, career....only had 1 season where he threw more INTs than TDs.  That was the team Fields found himself in. 

The Bears read both books.  How to ruin a QB and how to set a QB up for success.  Tried both.

I would take Fields as a backup if I didn't have to give up much for him. I think he has earned and could be a legit backup in the league behind a very durable starting QB who doesn't miss a ton of games.  That's no knock of Fields as I think Russel Wilson is done and feel like at this point Fields will take the job back from Wilson before seasons out. Of course I'm biased because Russel Wilson gives me the creeps with his extreme level of awkwardness and just plain weirdness. He is about as fake as they get and apparently a master at convincing others that he still has anything left. In Seattle I don't know if it was his skill or guys like Tyler Lockett who didn't get enough credit for coming down with his hail Marys he would just randomly throw up.

We are at a point now where we have/need a stopgap at the QB position. I think unless there is some Delhomme lightening in a bottle situation, anyone you get is gonna have limitations. Can’t do anything stupid just because the name still resonates. From an all around QB perspective is Fields gonna be better than Dalton? I don’t know and don’t want to open the wallet too wide to find out.

Funny because Delhomme was very average, had a lot of limitations, pedestrian stats (threw a lot of INTs), but was just clutch in most games except that Arizona debacle in 2008.   I'm afraid we keep looking for a perfect specimen we'll be stuck.  

Fields has a lot of redeemable qualities, he can become a better passer.  I don't believe that people can't learn to see the field or read defenses better.  But you can't teach size, speed, arm strength and athleticism.

Darnold has certainly learned to read the field better. You just have to build around your QB once you are confident in him.

      Canales is holding us back

      By bandu · Posted

      so the current Carolina Panthers are a team that is in a similar situation that the 2022 Carolina Panthers were in about this same time exactly 3 years ago. & after the 2022 season & missing the playoffs because of a last game of the season loss to the Tom Brady led Bucs  Carolina Panthers brass then thought hey you know what we are just a Qb away from taking that next step & becoming a playoff contender in 2023 .so of course that's what the Panthers proceeded to do when they traded up to the #1 overall pick in order todraft Bryce Young .& here is history repeating itself as it often does & the Carolina Panthers are once again in a close race at the end of the season with Tampa Bay for the NFCS title in 2025  it's took what 3 years now to get back to where we started to begin with prior to drafting Bryce Young  &so tell me once again who is really holding this team back ? ...just saying hRi

      Well, looking at it now I would agree that he should cede some of his power and focus on being a leader of an entire NFL program and becoming a better strategist. And leave the details of implementing that to the people he has hired to work under him.  But I am just some guy that gets his info 3rd hand and works off of incomplete info, using assumptions to draw conclusions.
