Barring an injury, it really doesn't matter what Cease does tonight. Its not like the Yankees are going to see him pitch 2 inning, give up 2 runs, and only K one guy and say "Actually, this guy stinks".

I know, it wouldn't make any sense if you didn't. Ive just been waiting to bust that gif out.

Balta realizing Cease may indeed get traded for a haul

The Patriots are going to have a choice of a nice QB prospect at #3, I don't think they are players for Fields. When you consider they just trashed Mac Jones and now have an entire new regime, that screams drafted QB to me. The Giants are screwed. They are stuck with Daniel Jones, or they can cut him after this year and eat a 22 million dollar cap hit. If they trade for Fields and hes good, they would then have to resign Fields to a massive contract. Its just an ugly situation for them financially there.

They're both close enough to get a QB, but even if Denver doesn't I don't think they are in any rush to make a panic trade anyways seeing as how they appear to be going scorched earth on their rebuild.

Hey that's 2023 Pro Bowl QB Gardner Minshew you are talking about here.

Whats even realistic for Fields at this point for teams that need a starter now? Minnesota, Denver.... that's it right?

I would say its not amazing at all, in fact, pretty much expected. This team is going to be hot garbage. The main thing I want to see is how long we have to watch these washed up vets on the roster before they let young guys get chances. How long will we have to watch Sheets gets rotated between DH/1B/OF before they finally cut the cord.

Didn't realize he was rising that much already. That doesn't help the situation, and now looks like Raiders are out of it as well.

While this is true, most teams that really need a starting QB are in position to be able to just draft their own guy and have him for 5 years. Just looking at the top 10, Tennessee is the only one that really makes sense but it sounds like they want to stick with Levis. After that, its Broncos and Raiders. Broncos I don't see it, they are hitting the rest button. The Raiders might be the only realistic option at this point. And even then, there are guys like JJ McCarthy, Michael Penix, and Bo Nix who could be there in the second round.

Meh, QBs these days can play to 40 so they will probably get a pretty good run out of him.

Comparable, Josh Rosen was taken 10th overall in 2018. He played one season for Arizona and did not do very well as a rookie, Arizona ended up with the #1 pick and took Kyler Murray and Rosen was traded to Miami for a 2nd round pick. Now, this was 1 year after being taken 10th overall. Fields has 3 years of tape now and none of them have been very good in regards to an NFL QB. Is it possible they could get a 2nd round pick from someone, I suppose so, but im having a hard time seeing a team that fits it. I think it will end up being a 3rd or later.

How does it not add up? Kirk Cousins is a very good starting QB in the NFL. Justin Fields is not. What exactly makes Fields worth a respectable draft pick? Because he was a high pick?

He's a good player, but hes not an elite player. Hes going to get a huge contract because that's just how it works in free agency. High motor guy, good player, but not an elite level player.

Mac Jones had a nice rookie season, then had Matt Patricia as his OC and has regressed. Why are they tied together? Their both former first round QBs who stink.

Ok, Fields is an athletic QB who isn’t accurate and can’t read the field. Both aren’t very good and won’t command high end compensation.

If Mac Jones value is a 6th round pick, I think there’s no way you get a 2nd for Fields.

The majority of the time I see them, they're roadkill.

That can't be true, they're around.

Touche.

Disagreed, but im not going to continue arguing about that trade so good day sir.

Even if Burger is a .280 hitter with 20-25 HR's hes another slow plodding big man who is bat only. Ive had enough of that here, would rather have the potential for a starting rotation option.

Its ok, once his wrist heals he will be good again.

Majority of people were pretty disappointed with how 2022 went, but I would say I don't believe anyone who tries to say with a straight face they saw this team winning 61 games in 2023.
