The media is overplaying the "Do right by Justin" quote. It didn't mean what they're claiming it did.

I was wrong. Poles did right by Fields. He gave him an opportunity to compete for a job or resurrect his career with the best run organization in football.

Would be interested in tannehill as #2, moving Bagent to #3.

No thanks!

I'd prefer a semi successful veteran in the room for mentoring purposes. There's no one to look up to in the room right now.

What a stupid move to trade Fields. All because they didn't want to pay him.

You cannot deny that he did improve last season as the season went along.

Now let’s see if they actually like Caleb or move with Washington or the Pats because they have their eye on someone different and want to add more draft capital.


Getting a conditional 4th in next years draft is hilariously bad negotiation on Ryan’s end, but I am not completely shocked as I have been constantly bringing shit like this up with him. He’s Ryan Pace levels bad at this part of the GM game.


Still, glad this part of it is over with now the question being which rookie QB they actually grab. It’s most likely Caleb if I had to bet on it.. but I still think there’s a chance they could move a little in favor of someone else.

Yep.

Which GM would you have convinced that Justin Fields was a better option than Sam Howell or Kenny Pickett?

Wrong.

I go back to my default position that Fields isn't very good. He lacks basic football instincts about when to throw the ball and cannot avoid the rush well. That said, he didn't get help from the offensive line. The coaching was unprepared for the Bucs safety blitzes off left tackle. Of course, the Bucs were going to test Fields and blitz him.

I don't remember Fields attempting to throw downfield other than the interception throw. When your whole repertoire and offensive scheme is five yard dink passes, there's no hope against a team like Tampa Bay.

I'd cut Fields at this point, in that he can't throw for more than 100 yards in a game. There's no point in investing in him. Fire Pace and Nagy and start over. That's better than the alternative of staying with these idiots.

I still don't like Fields' mechanics, but at least he gets back in his drop quick with the seven step.

Now he has to get on the same page with his receivers and not throw to guys who stop their routes.
