Hasn't Fields looked pretty good in Chicago? I still can't believe they traded all the way up to where they could take him and took the WR instead when they don't have a QB.

Well they thought they had a QB. Maybe Hurts looks like complete ass in practice, I dunno.

This is just an odd trade in that Flacco is pretty much their backup and Hurts probably has a short leash.

A sixth for a 3rd QB? That is a bargain.

I would have flipped maybe more for Minshew, but here we are, trying to figure Roseman out.

Shit, I would've done that. I was assuming they'd get more for him.

So does this mean Flacco doesn't make their team, and should we be interested in Flacco?
That;s what I wonder. Did they really give a 6th, maybe a 5th, for a third string QB?

Flacco is going to be their backup.

Who? Minshew? Not at first. A lot has to happen.
I didn’t say he would immediately be the starter, but you can damn sure bet he will end up the starter.

They’re comfortable with their roster. They aren’t trying to win, just be relevant. You can do that by having a decent starter, then you can live off the excuses when your backup sucks pee pee.

I love Fields. I think he may end up being the best QB from this class (I'm not super high on Lawrence to be honest, I don't think he's the sure thing he's made out to be).

I think the Eagles made a huge mistake passing on Fields.

Fields is great and has proven he's a clutch playmaker under the most extreme circumstances. Lawrence at least did it at a high level for years against top competition.

I never at all understood the Zac Wilson infatuation. Never.

The kid in SF? Total speculation (sorry NoDak)
