Fields to Steelers

6th round pick that can become a 4th based on playing time.

Would have kept him as the backup if that's all they got, especially since they're gonna need a backup with Braxton Jones at LT.

Wow. Not sure I’ve ever seen a bigger disconnect between perceived value and real value. 
 

I think Poles probably fucked this up, but I also kinda don’t blame him as it just lined up horribly and it’s clear coaches would prefer a QB who can run a passing offense. Clearly the shanahan/McVay coaches were not on board and that’s 3/4 of the league.

This should be a wake up call for the Bears who wanted to keep Fields over drafting Williams and yet it definitely won’t be.

I’m pretty excited to watch them. I assume they’ll just move to crying how it’s a mistake instead of admitting how embarrassingly incapable they were of admitting reality.

Yeah, the league thought very poorly of Fields.

Which also means it is a next year pick

Meanwhile, they didn't sign Tyron Smith. Alt won't be available at 9. Fashanu might not either. LT is arguably the second-most important offensive position on the field and it's going to be the weakest position on the Bears offense.

And Bears fans.  Clueless.

A QB’s most important ability is to be able to throw the ball accurately, not run.

I will disagree. 

I thought Fields was still good enough to start somewhere, but I guess the league views him as a complete bust.

Look at the other QBs that were traded for higher draft value.  Poles definitely waited too long.  He wasn’t going to get a 2nd or 3rd but I wouldn’t be surprised if a team had offered a pick higher than a conditional 6th.

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. They didn’t want to pay Poles price. He didn’t adjust until he ran out of options.

Expand  

If poles price was a starter price, nobody viewed him as a starter. This is a backup price that got worse as backups with longer contracts were acquired.
