Dick Allen Posted March 11, 2024 Share Posted March 11, 2024 The other thing is you can trade the #1 pick, move down a spot or two get a QB, keep Fields for another season, and get some draft capital there if you like someone as much or more than Williams.

The offseason isn't over yet, so I will give this a little more time to play out. However, if the Bears draft Caleb Williams and bring back Justin Fields then I will say Poles 100% played himself and so will many others. Expand For like the 4th time, what did he pass up that he could have had before which would indicate he "played" himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did read though where ATLs new OC runs an offense not so conducive to Fields strengths and that Cousins was a better fit. Expand Meh, QBs these days can play to 40 so they will probably get a pretty good run out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Obviously, but you keep asserting that Poles "played" himself, which would indicate he has made a wrong move overvaluing Fields when he could have had more at some other point in time and made the wrong move, thus "played" himself, yet haven't been able to articulate what that actually was.

There are like 10 decent QBs in the NFL and the rest of the league is chasing. If he was a very good starting QB we'd be talking about multiple first round picks. Expand While this is true, most teams that really need a starting QB are in position to be able to just draft their own guy and have him for 5 years. Just looking at the top 10, Tennessee is the only one that really makes sense but it sounds like they want to stick with Levis. After that, its Broncos and Raiders. Broncos I don't see it, they are hitting the rest button. The Raiders might be the only realistic option at this point. And even then, there are guys like JJ McCarthy, Michael Penix, and Bo Nix who could be there in the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted March 11, 2024 Share Posted March 11, 2024 It's pretty wild. Minshew was essentially Justin Fields the passer but without Justin Fields the runner, and still they'd rather shell out $13 mill / year than trade for a guy making peanuts for a year.
