Albert Breer also has us taking Fields, believes Tepper is pushing for it.

And Lord knows teams never say things they don't really mean during draft season.

I'll grant that the smokescreen thing is overrated, but it definitely isn't non-existent.

Well, based on what the org has consistently said about the QB position for some time.....nothing really supports them not still being in the QB market after signing Sam Darnold.

Say what you want about Fields, but he definitely makes a topic hot around here!

It's very possible they take one.

It's also very possible they don't.

If we hadn't already traded for a starter, I'd be completely on board with him.

Of course, if that were the situation, he probably wouldn't fall to us because that's just how things go in Pantherland

Ya man, keep thinking it was Rhule.

Honestly, had Tepper just let Rhule do his own damn thing from day 1 this organization would be in a MUCH better spot right now.

This board is clueless.

Please, enlighten us. You throw a lot of shade at other opinions usually without offering much other than that.

So you're really letting the sunk cost of a 4th round pick and future 2nd and 6th round picks keep you from making the pick you would've made otherwise? That's exactly what I hope we DON'T do.

No argument.

I wouldn't want Jones either, but truthfully I'm not so much looking at particular players as I am particular positions.

I think drafting a quarterback high in our situation is dumb, but that doesn't mean I'd be on board with drafting a linebacker or a runningback (i.e. the Marty Method).

I guess that’s our main difference of opinion. I think when you are drafting in the top 10 and don’t have a franchise QB, you should always be at least considering getting your franchise QB. In a perfect world we would get better and never draft this high again. Our staff should believe this if they believe in themselves.

I want no part of Mac Jones, but this.

Jones is going to be a really good nfl qb

You keep saying that Darnold is basically a rookie but that's just hilarious. He's started more games in the NFL than any of these college prospects we're talking about have started in college. He isn't basically a rookie. He's IS a bust looking to resurrect his career. Let's not gloss over three years of terrible play and pretend like he's basically a rookie.

There's a huge difference between treating a player like a rookie and saying a player *is* a rookie.  The treatment is imo to refer to the fact this is a clean start and they aren't judging him on his past failures.

I think you are missing the forest for trees.

Again, you think we could have traded for a guy that we don't believe in.

I really have a hard time buying that idea.

Don’t let Darnold keep you from the Fields train!
