Dick Allen Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 The other thing is you can trade the #1 pick, move down a spot or two get a QB, keep Fields for another season, and get some draft capital there if you like someone as much or more than Williams.

The offseason isn't over yet, so I will give this a little more time to play out. However, if the Bears draft Caleb Williams and bring back Justin Fields then I will say Poles 100% played himself and so will many others. For like the 4th time, what did he pass up that he could have had before which would indicate he "played" himself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did read though where ATLs new OC runs an offense not so conducive to Fields strengths and that Cousins was a better fit. Meh, QBs these days can play to 40 so they will probably get a pretty good run out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I obviously don't know what the offers were/are for Fields and neither do you. We can both agree that Poles is trying to trade Justin Fields though right?

Obviously, but you keep asserting that Poles "played" himself, which would indicate he has made a wrong move overvaluing Fields when he could have had more at some other point in time and made the wrong move, thus "played" himself, yet haven't been able to articulate what that actually was.

T R U Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 8 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: And you don't have to give up nine figures to get him either. There are like 10 decent QBs in the NFL and the rest of the league is chasing. If he was a very good starting QB we'd be talking about multiple first round picks. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha. And I amended that by saying the offeseason isn't over yet. However, if the Bears end up with both Caleb Williams and Justin Fields on the roster come week 1 then I will state that Poles 100% played himself.

bmags Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 literally shocked this is real haha I'm not surprised Getsy would still work with Fields, but boy did it seem like the game of telephone among fake accounts.

fathom Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Just hold on to Fields until trade deadline, as I’m sure starting pitchers will get injured around the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) The rest of the NFL apparently knows Fields can’t throw the ball and that he’s a RB pretending to be a QB, just like Bears fans. Edited March 11 by WhiteSox2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 It's pretty wild. Minshew was essentially Justin Fields the passer but without Justin Fields the runner, and still they'd rather shell out $13 mill / year than trade for a guy making peanuts for a year.
