MNF - Fields

[SteveSmithTD89]

Lol what is this thread? On the season:

4 Passing TDs 8 INTs

2 Rushing TDs 8 Fumbles

Jesus I want to win too and Sam ain't it but quit with the nonsense. The same ones in here fawning over a career night for Fields consisting of  a 58% completion 291 yards 1 TD and 1 INT are the exact same crowd that would nitpick Darnolds games against the Jets, Saints, Texans, Cowboys.

Fields has been dog poo this year and to say differently is just flat out wrong. Not one of you would have given him a chance past his TB game 2 weeks ago when he threw 3 picks and had 3 fumbles. You would have screamed for heads to roll, thumped your chest about how you called him being a bust during draft night and how picking him set this Franchise back 4 years while repeating yourselves in 27 reactionary new threads after the game.

Good Lord losing really brings out the crazy in some of you.

Fields should have always been the goal. 

Keep Teddy and draft Fields.

If Fields doesn't fall then you trade for Sam and then trade Teddy.

even with the idiotic trade for Sam YOU STILL DRAFT FIELDS. Who cares if you have two QBs, best case scenario you have two franchise guys and sell one for a mass of picks. 

Worst case is that likely one is decent. 

Most likely case is one pans out.

We picked the wrong one and it isn't a hindsight decision, so many of us saw this coming.

He won’t be in the game long if he keeps taking the shots he does

Fields is a rookie taking his rookie lumps behind a bad o line and with bad coaching. He's still better than Darnold and won't cost 18.8 million next year. Missed opportunity with regards to the QB position for this team, absolutely. At least Fields shows you flashes and you can be optimistic about him going forward. This is year 4 of Sam making the same mistakes, if you don't count USC where he turned the ball over a ton. 

Again, I'm not mad about drafting Jaycee Horn bc he looks like a future great player at a valuable position. But the decision making process involving the QB position, (thinking you had a guy you could make look good so you can pass on the options in the draft) was a terrible mistake.

Watching Fields tonight just really pours salt into the open wounds. The logical choice in last years draft. There for the taking, and we take a luxury CB. This is a total and complete disaster, and the real rebuild hasn’t even started yet. We take fields and even if we’re sitting at 1-7, if he looked like he did tonight, we’re all feeling ok with it. Go heavy in the draft on OL and man, we are all set for the next 5 years. Instead, we are as directionless as a rudderless boat with Sam Darnold as our QB. Sickening. 

I've stopped commenting as much here because it's just become a toxic place to browse. The idea that spending a 2nd round pick on Darnold was 'mortgaging our future' and 'a complete disaster' is absurd. 

CB wasn't a luxury - it's disingenuous to call it that after the fact to fit a narrative you're trying to build. We couldn't get off the field on third downs last year - now we can. 

As for the rebuild - at the moment we're stacking the roster with good players. They've fuged up at OC and OLine, which is why we're currently 4-5. That can be fixed in the offseason.

Some of you really don't understand what an absolute mess Hurney (and Gettleman) and Rivera left this roster in - you look around the league and see quick turnarounds and try to apply that logic here. Rivera was here for a decade and Hurney / Gettleman missed on WAY too many Draft picks for this to be anything but a complete roster overhaul.

I didn’t watch the whole game and went to bed before half but I feel this would have been a hot and cold, day and night kind of thread if it talked about the whole game because the first half was rough for Fields.

LOL. Don't worry, we got a DB instead in a DB deep draft. Shades of young Cam with Fields. poo like this is why we will be losers.

Young Cam? Cam was immediately better than Fields. I understand the comparison but Cam was much better early in his career than Fields has been.

I was interested in Fields and didn't understand the negative angle on him pre draft.

That said he's yet to show anything at this point to get upset over not selecting him.

Good coaching taking effect. 

Something the Panthers do not have.

Did Fields start the season off terrible? Yes. He is a rookie and that’s expected, but he is progressing and getting better. That Steeler defense is no joke. Fields also has bad coaching (Nagy), a bad line, and not that many weapons yet he is still getting better each week. Much better place to be than a 4 year starter who is getting worse, ranks among the bottom of the league, and is owed north of $18 million next year.

To the people saying drafting Horn has helped us get off the field on 3rd down. In theory this is true, but Horn has only played like 2 games and we are still able to do this. DJax, Bouye, Taylor, Melvin and crew with the addition of Gilmore and Henderson would have been capable. Plus we would have our picks and a QB on the rookie salary. It’s a much better place to be. We would be looking at OL with our first 2 round picks to protect Fields, plus have an extra $18 million next year.  
 

I know it’s easy to play the hindsight game, but a huge portion of this board was wanting this even after we signed Darnold.

He definitely has shown the flashes of what he can become. I think some people in this thread were spoiled by cam coming out first two games throwing 800 yards and a bunch of tds. Fields is progressing nicely. Exactly like you’d want to see from a rookie who is in a bad situation on top of that. Big time throws, mobile. 
 

im really afraid looking back we’re going to massively regret not taking him a couple of years from now unless we got a good one here over that time period. 
 

the decision to send a second and two other picks and pick up darnolds 18 mill 5th year option just compounds the frustration.

I guarantee you the ones who wanted fields would not have been doing that. I’d even wager the ones who wanted fields are the least reactionary of this fanbase. Not all but most.

A lot of people who didn't watch the game have a lot of opinions.
