Oh bull. The guy can’t handle pressure is horrible reading the field. Mac Jones is a lot more comfortable in the pocket. You like fields and i like jones for the pats. Neither might play for the pats but we shall see who turns out to be the better QB.
Cousin, You are quite right. Jones will be Drafted, in my opinion, too high for his value at #3. Not to say he could not become a Pro Bowl QB. Fields has a stigma surrounding him.....Ohio State QB's and their curse to be successful as an NFL QB. He also has a short read clock and he jack rabbits. Not saying he can't be successful. The best for him as a teacher is Cam. .....but alas, he is just another Ohio State QB.
I think that neither will be Drafted by the Pats. I think that the 48ers could have hit perhaps Detroiy and gotten Jones.
The new hot rumor is the Falcons, with all their needs, might have decided to throw the 35 year old Ryan to the wolves, not buld talent and instead Draft a QB of the future. The NFL "professional personnel" men and almost always wrong talking head evaluators have made it official......Fields is their #3 guy. The NFL guys are right only a surveyed 17% of the time in every Draft per average within a fair period of three years gestation time of success or not. So there is a good chance, the GA. native Fields could go back home at pick #4.
The best shot at a supposed talent laden sure thing (what?) QB of the "Fab 4, plus 1" is Lance. Of course we would still have to hop the Broncos, yet keep an eye on the Dolphins or Carolina who may cheat on their QB "spouses" and opt for a shiny new QB for, as they say..........COMPETITION.
Detroit at pick #7 for our #15 and #46 still gives a Draft value "points" advantage to the Lions. They need some studs. Then we take Lance? O.K . I could live with that if I am BB.
I can't wrap my arms around throwing two "ones" and perhaps two "twos" to Draft Fields, or Jones through the Falcons for that matter.Sure the Falcons could do a trade with us, take a blue chipper at #15 and come back and get another GA raised QB in Davis Mills at #46 and the cherry is our first and second picks in 2022. Smart thinking. The worst that could happen is the Pats say no and the Falcons are forced with a gun to their head to take Pitts.
I hope the Pats are doing homework on Trask. Mills and Mond (although his completion percentage is way below what the Pats would seek at less than 60%.
Plan "B" might be go back to Lynch during the Draft, start talking Jimmie G again.The 49ers need a CB. They just signed another QB and now have 4 QBs on their roster not including who they Draft. And Nick Mullens is still a possibility healing an elbow.
Lynch is not going with 5 QBs.
The logical proposal is Jimmie G (I am not a Jimmie G fan, but it could work out and we aren't throwing picks this way) for Gilmore. Sign Jimmie G to an extension and pay J.C. BUT.......the secret ingredient would be add Richard Sherman. He is younger than McCourty (both). He still has a year or two.
