League Champion

The Falcons have to be the team with the cleanest fit for Fields, assuming head coach Arthur Smith is able to retain his job for at least one more season. Desmond Ridder has proven to be too turnover-prone and might lose his job (again) before the season is over. The Falcons will also have trouble trading up to the top of the draft to try to get Maye or WIlliams, leaving a trade for Fields as likely their best option moving forward. Fields could be a great fit in Smith’s run-first, play-action-heavy offense. The Falcons also didn't even pick up the phone when Lamar Jackson was reportedly available last offseason. Would they pass up a trade to upgrade at quarterback again? NOPE

Weak arm, not a dynamic runner. Next

We can debate the price, we don't even know what that's gonna be.

Obviously, Zack Wilson is a stud.

What did ya come up with Chief?

Who deserves a pass? I'm not saying anyone, including Fields deserves a "pass". He undoubtedly underachieved in Chicago. My question is why? We know the situation sucked. He had a different OC and offense every season. You have to take that into consideration. They ran him into the ground. Maybe Fields does suck but IMO it's way too early to give up on that talent.

He was projected as #2. The genius Jets picked Zack Wilson

HE'S GOOGLING NAMES

Had no business being picked #1 overall. I screamed it from the mountain tops. There's no hope for him, he's not an NFL QB. At least Fields has the pedigree, athletic, big arm but yes, still very raw. I'm not arguing with you, it's just my opinion.

Who's that QB? Give me a name who has a better pedigree at 10-12 overall? You can't name one, in fact you probably can't name more than 2 QBs who are coming out this year.

That's racist , he has one of the strongest arms in football. He's just raw. Are you saying that Fields WASN'T in a horrible situation? You have to factor that in, no?

I've been to Kohls before

Then it didn't work out. You let him walk. There's no huge financial risk and if he does suck you'll probably be drafting top 5 the following season anyway. Get the QB then. All I'm saying that it's probably worth the limited risk. He had no chance to succeed in Chicago

He won't be!!! They can trade for him, resign him or Tag him at the end of 2024. He's not just walking. WTF don't you understand?

THE NEW TEAM IDIOT!!!!!!!

That's my point exactly. It's a crap shoot. You have no idea who's going to pan out regardless of.draft position. Just my opinion Dik Head, no need to get mouthy.

HE WON'T BE A FREE AGENT!!! THEY CAN TAG HIM AT ANYTIME. GET IT???

But what good is 10 overall if you have no QB? It's a 2 QB draft this year, they aren't getting either. I would take a shot, that's just me. If it doesn't pan out then at least I'm not on the hook for a big contract. You can move on at anytime. I think Fields was given a raw deal in Chicago. That whole situation was a nightmare. Nagy really Fd him up and Eberflus is a dope.

Agree but #10 overall is no slam dunk. Top 5 I'd say no way, but #10 or 12 (wherever they end up). I'm fine with that, what's a better option?

No shizz dumbass. The team picking up Fields would still have FULL CONTROL going forth regardless of the option.

That'll work.

Agree. They have to eradicate these people, otherwise deal with it forever.

Exactly

He's also playing with the worst head coach in the league in a horrific offense. He's been in a different offense every year in Chicago. I'd trade #10 overall for Fields. It's not like you're locked in to a long term big money deal. What's the risk?

I could see that. Perhaps a 1st round pick and getting a 3 back. Don't forget how bad the QB position is in the NFL. Atlanta has the #10 pick. They won't have a crack at a franchise QB, so why not give up a 1 and see how Fields does in a new offense. Why not, what better options are there?
