With his off-the-charts aptitude, he just might.

Highly doubt it. And I hope he doesn’t.

Listened to Ryan day today and he was asked about this…said he could start day 1 but also threw in that he’d handle sitting well and will be better in year 3/4 than he will off the bat. Not going out on a limb but I think they might look to develop him some instead of insta-start

There’s no reason to throw him out there unless it’s necessary. Or AD is a complete shit show.

Not only do I think Fields starts day 1, one of those two will not be on the team then either.
We all know Jordan Love isn't ready, maybe Green Bay will take Dalton from them?

What I'm saying is Dalton isn't going to play like Glennon. He won't be hooked as easily

The players will be pushing hard for Fields to start. Coaches might have to give in.

if he's ready and better than dalton....start him
but
should be no pressure and forced to start
let it play out.

Dalton should easily be more a digestible watch than the human giraffe Glennon. I'd rather they take took their time with Fields.

Did you only get to watch the draft on Thursday? Lol. We got some good OL help after that, kiddo.

Agreed Dalton will be a much better bridge QB, but we'll see. How the OL performs and prove it can protect a young QB will be everything and that could take just as long as it takes Fields to demonstrate he's ready.
Another difference with our current bridge QB and future QB is that the supporting cast is A LOT better than what Glennon & Trubisky inherited.

Yeah...why would you do that?
Its much better to assess your team first with a known commodity.
Personally I would start Dalton for first halfs, followed by Foles for second halfs until one or both of them emerges...audition them and see what offers I get. Trade 1 or both.
After the trade deadline, I start thinking about getting Fields wet. I never like giving a rookie more than a taste. Let them think about that taste all off-season. Prepare harder, knowing what they are in.
Burroughs shouldn't have happened. That was obvious. He was getting beaten.
I don't see the accuracy in Fields tape yet or the difficult reads to justify hanging him out there. Let him watch, let him learn, let him get up to speed and pick a time to get him wet.
