    Nothing is finalized, but I can see the Commanders grabbing Kliff because of either QB. Drake ran the Air Raid at UNC as well, so it fits both. Personally, I like Drake and think he's a franchise QB. The Commanders would be well-served to take Drake and use their bounty of picks to surround him with talent. Which I think they will do while the Bears head off into the sunset with Caleb. I do trust Poles. He's not stupid. He's done a desperate thing here and there, but he's not going to overthink this. He was on the parade bus with Mahomes, he knows what that looks like.

    yeah, this is great. gets me excited but also makes me nervous that we won't take him. good thing Cunningham is there to give Poles another voice of reason.

    How good is Fields if he must be surrounded with a #superteam? he has trouble throwing on time from the pocket and the game hasn't slowed down for him one bit. It has nothing to do with him playing in a scheme that fits him because every scheme in the NFL will require the QB to throw on time. Most of his amazing plays are just him solving problems that he himself creates. you keep him in the pocket by sending your edge defenders straight up the field, play zone, and run some exotic blitzes that he of course won't recognize.

    the Caleb vs. Fields argument is so depressing.
  5. Magnetic Curses
    I mean, this could all go sideways, of course, but I really think Fields has a Josh Allen ascendancy. 3700 yards passing 35 TDs/13 INTs 1,000 yards rushing (1068 to be exact) Passer rating: 107 8.3 sack % 65% completion percentage. (Allen had a worse completion percentage than Fields in his 2nd year, a fantastic one in his third year, far above what he's done since. If Fields improves it at the rate Allen did, it would have been +70%. That's my high end prediction. I think it's very possible and if it happens, the Bears will win 12 games, easy.

    Why did I know somebody would do this? I was literally thinking it as I wrote the name.
  7. Magnetic Curses
    glad i never really got into Tiger-less golf.
  8. Magnetic Curses
    im sure it's been asked but what do we think we're getting from Claypool this year?
  9. Magnetic Curses
    I was just saying it's weird what he's doing and I don't agree with it
  10. Magnetic Curses
    Ah yes. He'd know better than I, of course.
  11. Magnetic Curses
    If this was Fangio's system, I'd agree. He liked to have lock down man corners so he could dial up exotic blitzes. But this is Tampa-2, it starts up front.
  12. Magnetic Curses
    well, they went without pass protection last year because apparently "everything cannot be fixed.
  13. Magnetic Curses
    I don't think his ascension is 100% guaranteed. I've also seen some clips from various games where he makes quick reads, finds the open man, and he looks like an excellent QB. The problem is that he's never been a high volume thrower, he's never thrown screen passes and he hasn't shown that he's good at it at all. The positive is that he's actually incredibly accurate on the longer throws, which is amazing. Personally, my opinion is that he changes the way the game is played. His ability to run and escape should keep defenses on their heels and make it very easy for him, if he can relax in the pocket.
  14. Magnetic Curses
    Man, people do not like it when you question anything about Poles and Flussy.
  15. Magnetic Curses
    I hate Deeks's sentiment. To me, it's sports virtue-signalling. These players we're waiting for will just be ready to produce when the 2022 2nd rounders are reaching FA. It's not that simple. I'll applaud Poles for making some skill-player acquisitions, I still like Claypool, and Moore is a stud, but I'm not ready to forgive him for what he put Fields through last season. This isn't a rebuild in a bubble, Fields is our most important player in the last 30+ years, and maybe ever. If he's not developed right, this whole rebuild is for nothing. Subjecting him to snap after snap of Mustipher at C and Patrick at G (in place of Jenkins even when he was healthy) was a war crime.
  16. Magnetic Curses
    yeah, i'd rather have Chase Brown that DHop. I think Fields is good enough to excel with what he has.
  17. Magnetic Curses
    I think Edmunds's height gives him an advantage as a MIKE. he'll be better at covering that role even though Roquan is also really good in coverage.
  18. Magnetic Curses
    i don't really think people understand how good Fields can be.

    Like to see this https://twitter.com/Sulleymon/status/1652214350952710146?t=JGeKNKw3FFtYQ2U_XAtcJQ&s=19
  20. Magnetic Curses
    i beat you to it tho
  21. Magnetic Curses
    or not
  22. Magnetic Curses
    Benton should be there
  23. Magnetic Curses
    if we're going with high upside toolsy raw and risky players, I prefer Keion White for some reason, but Adebawore seems ok too
  24. Magnetic Curses
    I heard a stuntman made Greg pass out and crap his pants once.
  25. Magnetic Curses
    i don't know about that. i mean, they could go in a new direction in April, but he seems pretty set on providing Fields with immediate weapons and just got him a plug-and-play pass protector. Yes, I'm now a believer. Darnell Wright was the tipping point. I think last offseason was absolutely a disservice to Fields, though. But Fields somehow survived and electrified crowds.
