He did everything he was supposed to do and had us with a 12 point lead with 4 mins left, and the defense went and gave up two tds. Also one of our wrs dropped a game clinching pass after he had fumbled earlier in the game. And he did it all without the thumb in his throwing hand being one 100%. There is nothing a Caleb Williams or Drake Maye could do to elevate this team with all the holes and terrible coaching. Poles will most likely take a QB just to cover his ass and give himself a few more years but it will set us back a few more years and maybe longer if they bust l.
We went to the Superbowl with Rex Grossman.
Fields played great yesterday but I still need to see that every game. It’s not asinine to go after a franchise QB with your first pick if you have any question marks on your current one. The idea has always been let’s see these 7 games. Need to have a holistic view and stop with these posts after 1 game
We didn’t lose cause of Justin but we didn’t win cause of Justin either.
We never should have been in that position in the first place BUT our series between the Lions touchdowns he needed to convert. The first play call up the gut was bad but the second run was an option and you could see Barnes not bite and wait out to his left and would’ve had a clear shot at Fields. On 3rd down he had DJ wide open crossing Fields left. Then on the final play he fumbles.
Yes he shouldn’t have been in that position to begin with but good QBs find ways. Fields 10 4th quarter TOs in close games and one game winning drive, not to mention a career average 165 yards per game aren’t going to get you far in the NFL.
I don’t see how a new coach can resist taking a QB if he gets a choice of Maye or Williams.
Unless we’re 100% sure that Fields is a long term star QB by the end of the season it would be asinine not to draft one. You can still get an extremely impactful player to fill another hole with our other likely top 5 pick. In the NFL in 2023 you need a bona fide star at the position, not someone who is just good enough or is ever 7-27 in their career, I don’t care how many excuses people give him.

lmao what did Fields show you yesterday that was any different than what he’s shown in the last 2.5 years? He’s great at running the ball and can consistently get you 150-200 passing yards, but when it’s crunch time he makes boneheaded plays and turns the ball over. We’ve seen this movie before
Sooo you watched the MNF game ending? When you have to pay a QB a mega contract, you lose the ability to keep star skill players, who can catch balls in crucial situations, because you can’t afford them while also having to spend on defense. You draft Caleb Williams with the #1 pick to reset the rookie contract, and just load up at the skill positions and defense with the cap space.
Honestly at this point I’d rather just trade for Sam Howell if the commanders finished below us and they went for Caleb. He seems like a much more polished passer
I wouldn’t call it asinine fair or not it might be best for both to move on what I think would be asinine is keeping this coaching staff and draft h a new qb
