We've all seen highly touted QB prospects bust over and over again so it should never be seen as shocking when it happens, but man... given his skill set, Fields is just unbelievably terrible.

I will never understand how anyone(like yesterday) could make any logical argument Bryce isn't better than Fields. That guy cannot read a defense at all. 

And don't let people mistake this for some pro-Bryce rant. Bryce is also not a starting caliber NFL QB. But good God does Justin Fields keep getting chances for literally zero reason.

....a bunch of you goobers desperately pined for Justin Fields to be signed here?

How you feel about that now?

Also, he is unquestionably a worse NFL QB than Bryce Young. Period.

Yes, I do.  He's worse than Young.  I wasn't one of those in the Fields camp, though.  Remember I wanted to wait to the '24 QB class instead of panicking and taking a QB in the marginal '23 draft?  Yeah, QB6 in that class just reeled off a 33 point 4th quarter comeback win yesterday.  A lot of people shat on Bo Nix as being a marginal system college QB.  I think Williams will be ok, not a superstar, but an above average QB1.  The incomplete grades are Penix and McCarthy--the first largely sat year one and JJ can't get on the field.  The rest of that first round class is doing pretty good or balling.

He's truly terrible. And it's not for lack of opportunity. Yeah, the Bears always suck at QB and so do the Jets but he had a pit stop with the Steelers in the meantime. That was his legit shot.

I still wish we had drafted Fields though simply because it would've saved us from making that trade up for Bryce. It would've been the far less painful mistake to move on from.

No, I am glad we didn't draft Fields. With the idiots we have had running the show since he was drafted that kid would be on an 8 year, $65 mil AAV contract.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By strato · Posted

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
