We might have a great idea soon, @javiervazquez7122. If the team signs another affordable yet talented player, it's highly likely that they will trade their first pick.

Teams would be better off planning for a year of development even if they start earlier, and not assume they are ready week 1.

In the "experienced 25 year old QB" vs "rookie 23-24 year old QB" debate, I think the thing working against Fields is we don't have any idea how QBs like Michael Penix or Bo Nix will translate in the NFL. It's all potential and hypotheticals and upside. Fields has been a starter for 3 years now, you have a good idea what you're getting, and what you're getting is not great rn.

[@heath1948]

Which really is nothing maybe some flashes of brilliance but essentially just a bust from Ohio State

[@MustacheDLuffy]

You have a point. Teams would rather give up 2 first round picks, 2 second round picks and DJ Moore to draft Bryce young because of his “upside” which is basically thinking because he hasn’t been drafted yet he’s going to be something he isn’t Justin is a good quarterback that has mostly been put in a very terrible position, but most of the NFL media isn’t really educated on there or realizes that a situation can actually make a quarterback better

[@LordPichuPal]

Generally speaking you're spending less to get a rookie QB to develop behind someone seasoned, too. The Bears probably want too much for Fields because of overhyping how good he is, not realizing it's scaring off any potential suitors because they aren't desperate to get him and see how badly Chicago wants to move on. It's a major loss for Chicago because nobody will take him off their hands, they've already burned the bridge with him so he won't give them full effort, and if they keep him and draft Williams, you've created tons of drama in the locker room and city until you get rid of one of them.

He can't make reads. You can time his thinking in the pocket with an hourglass. Fields does what he does because he can't figure things out quick enough to do what he's supposed to do.

@@charlesfaure1189 couldn’t agree more. I made a collection of advanced stats and it’s actually insane just how much harder he makes it on himself. He literally has the highest time in the pocket in the league at 2.8 seconds, but he somehow has a fucking 26.5% pressure percentage. He’s last in the league at time to throw at 3.23 seconds. Outside of pressure, he’s 28th in the league in OnTgt percentage at 73%, and his receivers have a 3.8% drop percentage, which is the 5th best in the league. His receivers also are 9th in the league in YAC and he took a lot more check downs this year, but he’s like 21-28 in every single efficiency stat.

[@iels7346]

His all 22 is some of the most painful film you can watch. He's just bad. He gets to the top of his drop and panics if his first read isn't there. Hes a "see it throw it" guy and that doesn't work in the NFL. If you see it open you're likely already late and thats the story of Fields career so far, he's late in throws all the time. Even worse, he knows hes gonna be late now, he'll see a concept come open but because he can't process fast enough nor does he have any anticipatory ability, which is why he panics so much at the top of his drop. The Lions game we lost was probably his best game of the year, according to most folks, yet in that game, folks fail to reconize him turning down open players to bail out, and yeah the bailouts look cool when they work, but he was just making the game harder on himself. The line was serviceable, the offense looked more fluid with an undrafted noodle arm QB because that QB was able to actually make anticipatory throws on time. The guy just isn't good but his playstyle is cool sometimes so he gets all the excuses. Folks act like we had no weapons, Moore, Kmet and Mooney are legit. Fields activity refuses to throw to Kmet if he's not OSU wide open. Same with Mooney, same thing we've been saying about him since he was a rookie, he can't reconize NFL open still. Jones, Jenkins, Patrick, Davis and Wright were servicable all year, had a couple bad games agaist good teams in Green Bay and Cleveland, but their Dlines made alot of teams look bad, this line was even down right dominant at times this year, agaisnt Detroit 2 times, Washington with all 4 of their original starters, Tampa, Denver and Vegas. Fields just isn't good. The Tampa game was his worst as a pro, the play where he turned down 3 open players who all would've scored on a busted play was irredeemable. Folks complain about all the screens down the stretch, did yall see how lost Fields was in that game? All they could call was a screen at that point, Fields looked lost all day in Tampa. Simply watch his all 22 and see just how bad he is, he's not an NFL caliber QB, it'll be fun watching him in the XFL here in a few years tho.

It feels like the same situation is probably happening with Fields, his team and fans over value him, everyone else under values him, and that disconnect makes agreeing on trade terms difficult. It also doesn't help that there's so much QB talent available this offseason. The Browns only got a conditional 5th for Baker, just a year removed from a great season and a play off win, in an offseason where the second best QB option was taking a gamble on drafting long shot prospect Kenny Pickett. This year had multiple starting caliber QBs hit the free agent market and has 3-4 QBs being projected as going in the 1st round of the draft.

All teams needing a QB for next year have had their scouts and offensive coaches watch all the tape of every play Justin has had in the NFL, factoring in when the OL protection is blown and it's not his fault. And every one of them is passing on him right now. How do you explain that? The ENTIRE LEAGUE of professional NFL scouts, coaches, and GMs are all simple-minded?

[@Mark-wo9yt]

I saw Fields in 4 or 5 games this year, every time I thought he may be the worst QB in football. He's been watching too much Lama Jackson - he'd rather run around with the ball behind the LOS than throw it to a wide open guy. His OL was average at best, but NO OL can protect him the amount of time he needs...he held it WAY WAY longer than Bagnet did who played in the exact same offense. His play on the field isn't good period, which is why Chicago is dumping him and no teams are interested.
