The truth is people got on the Wilson and Lance bandwagon and didn’t want to see any other candidates do well. Even when you explain to them why Fields had a bad game against Northwestern it didn’t matter. At the start of this game it didn’t matter. They can’t deny this first half though against a top team and still balling out while hurt. 
Some of those people also questioned his arm and it’s clear velocity isn’t an issue for him. 

Yup. Funny thing is, if Fields *actually* sucked it would make it less likely for us to get one of those two dudes.  Wilson and Lance are still realistic shots depending on next week.  Dunno why any fans here made it necessary to knock Fields because of that, but it is clear they did.

The reality is we haven't had a shot at Fields pretty much all year. He was very likely to go top 3, and we haven't been in that position.  Fields has it all, but maybe that's because I've watched a lot of his games.

Look, I am sure you are a 20 something that maybe played powder puff football for your school.  This is what has happened to football over the last thirty years, players are soft and we have all these baby rules.  I am not for someone trying to take someone's head off, but the Fields play is a by-product of the p&ssification of football.  QB can slide or get down and give himself up, he didn't and he took a good lick for it.....that's how the game is supposed to be played. 

Yeah and you can legally hit them without using your helmet and knock them on their butt. Using the crown of your helmet as a spear into someone’s ribs is dumb and risks injuries to both players. It was also dumb because it got him thrown out of the game on an obvious targeting call. I get it you are a Clemson fan, I’m not a fan of either team but I would like to keep players healthy and not risk their careers over one hit.

I would not trade a first rounder for 2022 unless it was for a franchise QB that is elite.  Will a new GM pull that trigger?  What is the difference between that and people who were saying, "Build the Line and Defense and draft Howell next year?" 

It is a very aggressive move, that is for sure.

yeah man the more football players that die from head trauma in their 50s and 60s the fuging better!!!!! GET OUTTA HERE WITH THAR NO FUN LEAGUE!11!!

as plenty of players show, you can hit fuging hard without leading with your helmet.  that poo causes unnecessary injuries. it ruins careers. it deprives everyone of seeing quality athletes compete. these guys need to learn to tackle properly.

I don't think we can afford to trade a first next year.  It is going to take *a ton* to move up to 1st or 2nd and I don't think that it is worth the bounty we'd need to give up to get one of these two guys, even if they are exciting to watch.  There are too many holes and unknowns and plenty of other decent prospects.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
