I was thinking about this, and I feel like Justin Fields is a correction to the mistakes they made when they drafted Mitch Trubisky.

If not for making that mistake and the timing of how everything played out, we obviously could have ended up with a very different quarterback.

Considering all of that, it's pretty remarkable just how the stars have aligned for this particular point in time for us to end up with Justin Fields.

Especially when you consider it is the same regime that drafted Mitch Trubisky.

Maybe it's just that the football gods finally decided to throw us a bone....

well take it a step closer and ponder this - it really took Anthony Miller to get rid of Trubisky to open things up for Fields.

This is what Panther fans told themselves to feel good about Jimmy Clausen. It took Clausen to get Newton.

I can write moving up to get an inexperienced QB based on consensus off as a rookie GM mistake. No excuses for the scouts. No excuses for the rookie GM not building an offense around that inexperienced QB, but he seems to have learned his lesson so is forgiven.

Had we stayed put we could've ended up with Mahomes. Assuming the lack of offensive tools didn't ruin him I think I could be happy with Mahomes.

Still blaming the supporting cast I see...

I read somewhere that not only did the scouts either want Watson or Mahomes, Nagy did as well but Pace was like "nah"

I am hoping the football gods threw us a 2 pound T-bone steak, medium rare. Or ribeye.

Prime ribeye cap.

Prettiest steak money can buy, imo. Best tasting too. That marbling tho.

Mitch trubisky was more like skirt steak. Ton of flavor and potential but easy to fuck up.

Shit....i gotta go to costco now.

If Jay Cutler was any good, he'd still be here, and we coulda avoided Mitch. Jay is only 38.

If Rex Grossman wasn't a bum we wouldn't have had to trade for cutler and could have been superblowing.

My puppy is 9 months now she pees outside


So let me get this straight. You're now saying that not only do your parents let you bring hookers home, but also let you have a puppy?

Newton was actually pretty good for them before he lost his damn mind
