Why not pick up Fields 5th year and draft a QB first also? in c/bears@nfl.community
[–] AssLunatic@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Every single situation you mentioned did not have a player’s 5th year option being picked up and then they drafted a QB.

If the draft happened today, which would you rather have? in c/bears@nfl.community

  1. The best way to create a durable championship window is to acquire a SB-caliber QB as one of the last pieces of the rebuild. Maximize the rookie contract and give the QB a chance to develop into the god-tier while on their rookie deal, so that when they resign they won't need as complete of a roster.

The best course of action is to resign Fields at a very reasonable number, and then incubate opportunities once you have a solid line, weapons, defense and Fields as the QB bridge if we draft one.

Why do so few former stars become coaches? in c/nfl@nfl.community

The real answer is that skill is way different than strategy. Similar to asking why the best calligraphers never become great novelists.

Steve Young

I'm fairly confident this fanbase would rather see a revolving door of GMs, Coaches, and QBs than see success. in c/bears@nfl.community

Pretty sure the majority pick the latter. Source - Trust me bro.

Has any QB class ever had a start as good as this one? in c/nfl@nfl.community

Disagree with the entire premise. One played 4 games (and his stats aren’t great…sub 60 completion percentage and sub 150 yards per game), the other has played in 2. There have been many, many seasons where a lot of rookies have looked good in 2-3 game stretches. Stroud is the only one who has actually looked good.
