Thoughts on Justin Fields as a backup next season?

[CamWhoaaCam]

I still think Bryce Young is a huge question mark moving forward with his ability to stay healthy. I think we need to have a legit backup QB in case Bryce goes down with a injury or is not living up to expectations of a #1 overall pick. Why not bring in a talented QB like Fields. We know he's still growing as a QB but as a low risk high reward signing I wouldn't mind having him behind Bryce. Maybe they push each other to get better.

Wait what did Fields do to make him a knucklehead?

I used the wrong wording there!! I am just not thrilled with his playing and don’t see it as an advantage having him on the bench!!  I like Dalton as a backup for one more year for Bryce!! I am hoping Bryce can get it together!! We will see with Brown calling the plays now

That's fair. Im just looking at it like low risk high reward. I think he will push Bryce knowing that he has a younger QB behind him coming for his job. Dalton is cool but we know what he is already. I think Fields would offer more to the offense if Bryce gets injured.

I see your point for a younger backup.. I am just not impressed with Fields!! Young is a huge question mark!! I was so wanting Stroud but started having hope on this staff  was seeing stuff in Young we don’t!! But again the fan base as forgotten we have switched schemes with the coaching and we just don’t have the right guys on team.. it’s an utter mess!!

Haha!! My username comes from when we had bad games with Delhomme.. my wife bought me a Panther Voodoo like soft doll to throw so I wouldn’t break the tv!! And I always said Damn It Jake!!

No. 
 

He’d beat out Bryce, and I thought we were trying roll with Brycie for atleast 3 years

He can be a starter in ATL and they’d win the division

Bryce is a better QB than Fields 6 games into his rookie campaign. That is just a fact.

ATL will probably be a destination if they can't get a QB in the draft

This is why we should bring him in. He will push Bryce. Andy Dalton just can't apply that kind of pressure. I want to see what Bryce looks like with a legit QB behind him.
