A third round pick? Gimme! After last night I can't imagine that Fields is on their list or a top 10 pick. I wouldn't even pick him in the first round. Nice prospect, but not that impressive.

Jamie_B Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Ahead of schedule is really good news. That he is walking with minimal issues is awesome. Both good signs of being able to play Week 1. Hopefully that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shit, I wish we could trust the team to pump the brakes a bit & do what's best for him in the long run, but.. Yeahhhh... Getting back in his routine is good though, it should help him mentally when the hits start coming again. The confidence to stand tall in a collapsing pocket is the real hurdle.

Fields has got plenty of talent to work with, he just needs more development is all. He’s played something like 20 career games compared to 40 or so for Lawrence. Still though, 2 years as starter with a final four and a final two under his belt is not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicoli Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Yeah I’m not sure. As it stands right now they have a true freshman as back up. Hard to say how it’ll all turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicoli Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 I know one thing, if they can’t get Sewell I would be ALL OVER Devonta Smith. You don’t get a chance at true difference makers very often and that dude is 100% difference maker. If that’s not what you want in a top 5 pick I don’t know what is.

He would provide the deep threat that they have been looking for to go along with the larger WRs they have been stockpiling. I am concerned about Smith's ability to stay healthy long term. He is really a slight guy. Time will tell. He is an amazing talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicoli Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 And he’s a fantastic kid too. Seriously everything you could ever ask for in a top 5 pick, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Allen, Philip Rivers, Jared Goff (didn't start but played), Ryan Tannehill, Mitch Trubisky and Baker Mayfield are all Top 10 drafted QBs. Ben Roethlisberger just missed and was taken 11th. That's why I was confused by your comment. There were plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Goff was a #1 overall pick. Alex Smith should have been playing but was hurt. Josh Allen was drafted #7. Baker Mayfield was #1 overall. Jamie, I'd suggest you fact check your sources a little better before going public with the information they fed you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Considering he is just six weeks removed from surgery, this is pretty great news all around: Quote Ben Baby @Ben_Baby · 8m Joe Burrow said the first two weeks of the rehab process was "pretty miserable." Said he's not at 100 percent obviously but he feels pretty good. 1 1 25 Ben Baby @Ben_Baby · 7m Joe Burrow said the knee is at about 15%. Said he has done some body weight squats but has a long way to go in the rehab process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, nothing ever became of it other than he had some good years statistically. The dog shit defense and distractions were impossible to overcome.
