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

He would be Ritter 2.0.. he’s Lamar Jackson lite is how I see him with his running..

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.

I’d rather just try again in 2025 with a new QB. We will be in the running for a top pick.

Ritter is not even 3rd string worthy

I've seen some subpar threads on the Huddle,  but this one is another level.

Dammit should have fit in with everyone else and make more trade Burns threads.

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.

Maybe as a more dominant Taysom Hill type weapon.

I have to hand it to you. 
 

For someone griping about all the Burns discussions, this topic is definitely a fresh one. But holy hell dude. You are aware Fields has missed time due to injury this year, right?

I agree, but for probably different reasons.

I think that it says more about some Huddlers and their knowledge about football and how it works. Being very interested in human nature, as I believe that certain elements of human nature can be applied to any situation, I also don't believe that some people understand how much human nature plays a part in the things that people do and don't do.

But, getting back to your general point, this thread, the Hurst thread and so many others, in my opinion, have basically reflected very badly on what's supposed to be a football discussion board.

 

As for Fields, I don't mind competition, but I don't think that he's proven to be a gem in the NFL, and he also comes with an injury history. Of course I'm not oblivious to his less than stellar situation that has played a part in his inconsistent play, bad decision making, suspect processing and injuries, so he's a project, and unlike Bryce, he's had an appreciable amount of games to get his act together. 

All that being said, I'm not even convinced that Fields would be worth trading for. I don't know that what he's shown--or hasn't--is worth the distraction and upset to the franchise and Bryce Young. Now, that being said, if we were to trade for him, I personally wouldn't give anything more than a day three pick (or two, and lesser players). But, in general I don't think that's the kind of move that you make unless you've essentially given up on your guy. The only way that I'd fully support it is in the case of firings and bringing in new people who actually want Fields.

we could at least use him for qb sneaks and hail marys

Personally if we want a young QB back up, I would spend a 5th or whatever on Spencer Rattler.
