*Rumor* Burns for Fields + picks?

[Ricky Prickles]

Fields? Ummm, I wouldnt give up anything for him. Yes, Young has had a rough year but Fields? Come on, he is better than Young currently of course but its Justin Fields we are talking about. No thanks

A long time PSL holder who I trust told me today that he heard the team’s pro scouts have been keeping a close eye on Justin Fields recently. He theorized we could trade Burns for Fields and picks. I thought it was interesting bc Fields is a lot like Cam and we already know the Bears want Burns and we need picks. Fields has looked great recently. Tepper is close with the McCaskeys. Something to absolutely keep an eye on. How would you feel about getting back into the first and pick it up Fields? 

I would be shocked if that happened. Poles will not give up either 1st round pick for Burns, when he only gave up a second for Montez Sweat, who is a much better player. Then to turn around and pay him? No thanks.

As dumb as it sounds to mortgage your future and then give up on the pick after a year, it would be the most Tepper-esque move. So it could happen. Not saying Bryce is any good but Tepper would get further obliterated by the media if he dumped his all star point guard after a season.

We don’t even have a GM yet. I’m assuming Fitt gets fired after the season is over…

Because what the Panthers need is another former 1st round QB that their original team gave up on.

…Bryce Young, Johnathan Mingo, DJ Johnson, Chandler Zavala, and a 5th round pick.

That GM has to be gone on Monday.

If we had a vet (including Dalton) starting this year, we wouldn't have had the number one pick. Caleb Williams would not be in the math...unless Tepper, Fitterer and company made another stupid move like trading a bunch of draft capital for a rookie. This year's first was never in the cards for us, but it was in the cards for Chicago due to all the mis-dealing.

Yes, I'd take that trade.

The same Justin Fields who has been playing good football post-injury.

Okay fine, whatever this year’s 1st turned into (maybe not Caleb Williams, but still), would you trade:

Christian McCaffery, DJ Moore, Jalen Carter, and this years 1st for…

Bryce Young, Johnathan Mingo, DJ Johnson, Chandler Zavala, and a 5th?

We desperately need a new GM.

No I would not. I've said it in the past that I'm generally reluctant to trade day one or even day two picks for unproven kids that haven't taken the first NFL snap. What we traded was tremendous, and one simply has to be right---not fúcking "convicted"---"right," when you trade so much draft capital, as well as veteran playmakers for a guy out of college. 

Now, I realize that sometimes you want to move up if a player you like starts falling, but that generally only costs an arm, not both arms and legs. When you made the trade that we made, you have to be "right!"
