The joke will be on them if Jones turns out to be better than Lance, which is not a huge stretch considering how much better Jones was in college. Lance is a huge gamble. I'll admit he has intriguing talent, but so did many other QB prospects who flopped who were way more proven than Lance.

If Jones or Fields turns out better. It's very easy to see scenarios where they come out of this looking every bit as bad as the Bears did trading up for Trubisky. Time will tell. Maybe they're brilliant, maybe they're idiots.

Lance would have to be a big bust to not perform better than Jones, IMO.

Fields, hard to say. But if Fields is a big success, we will also look like idiots.

Yep. If Fields is a hit Darnold is gonna have to be as well for us not to come out of this off-season looking like morons.

Literally every GM after the draft says they got their guy. This isn't nor ever was a smoke screen, there was no one to fool and no one was going to be fooled regardless. This just reeks of people trying to come off as smarter than they actually are, maybe next time don't out smart yourself when it's 28-3 Kyle.

To a point...

If you're in the top two or three, chances are pretty good you really did get your guy.

Honestly, I think Fields made the most sense. Lance definitely has talent, but man... they bet BIG on a guy who just hasn't shown a whole lot with his arm and did all his running against guys who are going to be HS football coaches or accountants.

He made Chinn look bad.

When does his HS job start?

He would have beaten UNC NC State and Duke last year if they played.

      After Day three.... New draft strategy?

      By Murph · Posted

      I’m going with Nick Emmanwori as the pick right now. Charlie Campbell has him ranked 5th on his post combine big board and another safety is needed.

      Morgan as GM so far

      That is ridiculous on several levels. First of all you have to spend 90% of your cap space every year so the idea you can just not spend it every year is against the CBA. Secondly your job is to assemble the best team you can for the fans players and team. Not to save money for the owner.  Third many players who are considered great underperform while others like Luvu and Jackson have overperformed. What about a  great player like Derek Brown who was injured and missed all of last year. Was he a waste of money?? Sure pay DK a fools ransom and hope he stays healthy. He didn't even get 1000 yards last year which averages out to 60 yards a game or play all 16 games.  And lets be real, Jones and Watson aren't  great but they aren't being paid that much either. Real glad you aren't the GM.

      Not necessarily, they very well could just be waiting on the players who will get cut in the coming weeks/months as cap casualties and wanting to have the cap room to be able to offer more than other teams (likely our best shot at finding immediate pass rushing help for next year at this point). Also wouldn't be the end of the world to try and roll some cap into next offseason to have more space to go after bigger FA's. That's a better move than signing guys who really won't help much more than whoever else we can get on minimum or rookie deals.
