There's really no doubt. Jacksonville would've gotten a huge payday for the pick. Fields would've been the only option for any team wanting a QB.
Another hypothetical, what would the bears have had to give up to move from 7 to 1 to get him? An extra first and change sounds pretty cheap huh...
The QB is literally the only reason to take this job. Bad cap situation, depleted draft picks ... Seriously, why would he take the job if he doesn't like the QB?
Geez people are dumb
This is hilarious!
I read some stuff online so I know more than an entire professional scouting department. I mean...really?
These guys do this for a living and are wrong all the time. I love how fans think they could do so much better cuz they watched a couple clips or read a couple hot takes.
How does this guy have a job? Seriously?
He says they picked up 2 starters in the 2nd but they aren't the right starters I guess? Doesn't say who they should've taken...
Lazy lazy lazy
Many people don't quite understand that stats do not equal development. Getting help around him would improve his stats, that doesn't necessarily mean he is developing. Putting up poor stats this season doesn't mean that he hasn't developed.
The make or break for Fields is can he learn to read...
To play the devil's advocate's advocate, Herbert looked pretty decent at times in the same situation. Does a competent offensive coordinator enable Herbert to show Montgomery is expendable?
I agree he had the aforementioned abilities you mentioned within the inside of his skill set but I would also like to point out that he also has these abilities within the outside of his skill set of skills.
"An easy argument can be made that the Chicago Bears do not have a speedy threat in their wide receiver group as the roster stands right now."
I didn't read much past this.
