So Davis has been described as a depth guy, a reclamation project, or an absolute baller. Having a hard time understanding just what we got here. -

Yeah not sure why anyone would be promoting the return of Slye. He was below average his entire time here. -

I forgot about that but we don't know the medicals. Can you release a player that is injured? I thought you needed to reach a settlement. -

Oh this group is too smart not to have a plan for one of the most important positions,, But that placeholder could have been Leno, who is as good as anyone else they would sign. That was my only issue with this offseason, why not keep an established vet who won't kill you while you find your long term answer? He had one year left, that would have been perfect. -

You don't evaluate a player on how much his teammates like him. He is simply an average at best QB who has his moments but just misses too many throws. After Year 3 we usually have a pretty good idea who a player is, even a QB. Yes his contract is a factor when evaluating the situation and it's clear he will get a big payday. And teams do not want to have to commit to that and for good reason. -

If you would like to continue to make excuses for Justin Fields be my guest. I'm just stating that the people who know more than you and I do about this have voiced their opinion and they do not agree with you. His lack of weapons do not explain all the errant throws he continues to make. While I agree he is not as bad as people make him out to be he is just too inconsistent to ever be counted on. -

I watched the Red Zone mostly so I got to see a lot of Fields over the past few years. I saw a very inconsistent QB. The market has spoken and Justin Fields was worth a 6th round conditional and now he has to compete for a starting job. The league has voiced their opinion on one Justin Fields. -

There were a lot of teams going into the offseason in bad need of a starting QB. If Fields was considered a good option they would have made the move. That says a lot to me, they know more than we do and nobody is convinced he can be a starting QB who is good enough. -
Oh I don't think there is a question that they need 2 starting tackles. It will be interesting how they go about doing that. I fully expect a tackle to be taken early, perhaps in a trade up to the late first as discussed. I'll be following the first and hope to see tackles drop, with such a deep class I fully expect them to find a good one early. But that's only one, I doubt they go into the season with 2 rookie starting tackles.

I never put much stock in acquiring Caleb Williams. I think it sets a dangerous pattern where the top pick can demand his team. Elway had a very good reason, Eli not so much. But still it's a bad look and will only lead to more players making this demand, it will turn the NFL into the NBA. . With that said according to the value chart I have seen the difference between the first pick and the second is 400 points, that's the value of the 50th pick. So I'm not sure I understand why posters are claiming it will take multiple picks including next year's first, especially when the Bears have no leverage and they are obviously taking a QB so they need to stay near the top of this draft.
-
But don't teams with a young established QB often draft a late round developmental QB? That could be Howell only he has proven he can play. If nothing else perhaps as injuries occur during the season a team may overpay for him if they lost their first 2 QBs. I just think his value to this team is higher than the pick they would get for him because he's so damned cheap and can play in this league.
-
I saw it in many games, I believe South Carolina and Miami as those were the most recent. His footspeed is "Good" but that's a big difference than the really mobile QBs. If he threw it like Dan Marino I would be fine with that mobility. But he doesn't. He honestly looks more like Bust than Star, and I hate to say that because I was really big on him. Field passing can be very erratic, there were times (mostly early in his career) where he didn't even looked like he belongs in the league. He has gotten better but he is just too inconsistent. After Year 3 I think most players are who they are. I won't discuss Kirk anymore but it's odd that we can talk about Justin Fields but not Kirk Cousins. Another example of why I do not understand why he is so polarizing.
-
Because when he has open field in front of him he can exploit that. But when he runs east/west he does not have the speed to reach the edge. I saw that so many times and it was very disappointing. He also took sacked on plays where the more athletic QB escapes. Saw that a lot too. I never said he had slow footspeed, just far below the others. Watch 5-6 complete fame on YouTube and you will see that as well.

I have been on the Maye train all along. I much prefer a pocket passer because the team that wins the Super Bowl has a really good pocket passer nearly every time. I have been watching Maye's full games, the first few I kept trying to convince myself that he could be like Ben Rothlisberger. But after watching 6-7 games now I just don't see anything that would make me believe he will be special. He does not escape traffic in the pocket nearly as well as the more athletic QBs, his footspeed does not allow him to turn the corner on defenders. His passing is good but nothing close to elite. I think the odds are far better that he ends up somewhere between Blake Bortels and David Carr than he ends up as an elite QB. If you are going to take a swing take a big swing on a guy who could be great, and I no longer believe that is Drake Maye.
