    Fields is a bust who isn’t good enough, and Wilson is washed up. It’s simple as that, people are overthinking this. The Steelers will win games with defense and Tomlin’s coaching, but they haven’t solved their QB problem. 

    NFL GMs may not be that good at recognizing a QB bust coming out of college, but they are good at recognizing a QB bust at the NFL level.  That's why it's virtually impossible to take a busted 1st or 2nd round and get anything good out of him.  If the NFL GMs hadn't considered Field a bust the Bears would have gotten a lot more when they traded him than they did (a 2025 6th that can become a 4th).  The rest of the league didn't consider him starting material & the team that traded for him gave up virtually nothing for a backup with starters experience on the last year of his rookie contract.

    Actually 3rd stringer now if he remains on the team behind Rodgers and Taylor.

    He may end up being the Covid QB like Jake Fromm was in 2020.  Pay him his guaranteed money & keep him away from the rest of the team "just in case". 😄

    I agree. The way they have mismanaged him has caused me to root for him. 
     

    I would like to see him go to some team with a QB whisperer as a head coach, and see if he can reclaim his career. 

    How did they mismanage him other than putting him out on the field where he could STB?  I've heard this before with guys like EJ Manuel & JP Losman too many times.  The 3 have one thing in common, not mismanaged, just 1st round busts.

    Not for nothing did the Steelers get more for Pickett than they had sent to the bears for fields?

     

    Fields is better and has more potential than pickett

    It's all about the length of contracts. Fields is in the last year of his, Pickett has 2 years left.

    The 2021 QB class has been an absolute disaster 

    5 1st rounders & when Fields is traded 4 of them won't make it to a 4th season with the team that drafted them. Those 4 all sent away for pennies on the dollar at best. 

     

    Even Lawrence has underperformed his draft projection.  He was supposed to be a superstar & he's just an average starter.

  5. Back in the day when they sold programs I used to get a program for every game I went to. I have all the home programs from 1991 through 2007 (except one that got stolen inside the stadium when I left my seat for a few minutes). I also have many programs from other seasons. I used to get the media guide from 1986 until they stopped printing them. One of my most prized programs is a free one. (not as good as the old programs they used to sell) I got opening day in Baltimore in 2018. Unfortunately, it's in poor condition because it rained the whole game, but it was the 1st real game for both Josh and Lamar. Both came in in the 2nd half to begin their careers.  I also have all 4 of the Bills Super Bowl programs and ticket stubs. I have a lot of Bills ticket stubs.  

    I miss the old days of full sized game day and PRO programs, printed media guides, yearbooks, and printed tickets. Everything is electronic or a worthless handout these days.

    You're obviously a biden cult member who has mashed potatoes for brains. You sure can diagnose Trump from afar hypocrite. Go back to your democratic cesspool and crawl back under the rock you came out from.

    I'm not a Democrat but you wouldn't know that.  I wonder how you formed any opinion of my political views since I almost never post in the politics section of TBD.  Maybe you're as confused as Trump & think I'm someone else.  Man, you are one dumb POS, drawing conclusions with your pea brain.  

     

    Unlike you, I actually listen to complete speeches from both Trump & Biden.  I never tried to diagnose Trump, just laid out some facts on how diminished his verbal & cognitive abilities appear to be.  You on the other hand use limited information combined with your limited intelligence to come to a conclusion that you can't possibly come to. All by watching a few minutes of Hannity or some other fellow loser.

    It’s funny how I never seen you admonish biden with his obvious dementia yet you point out one time he made a slip of the tongue. Which , coming from you I don’t believe at all. You are the definition of hypocrite.

    I question anyone's cognitive ability who refers to Biden's "obvious dementia."  You obviously are a Trump cult member who watches right wing media without forming an opinion by any real observation.  Or you have dementia.  I can't diagnose you from afar, just like you, Mr. Hypocrite, can't diagnose Biden from the rock you are living under.

    That’s a lie. You cry no evidence when it comes to the grifting the bidens are doing with Ukraine but make unsubstantiated accusations about Trump without a shred of evidence. 
    You are what we call a stupid sheep. That’s right Mr “independent”, your lies have caught up to you and no one respects or values your opinions.

    The evidence is there if you watch his speeches . Obviously whatever you are watching, reading, or listening to has sanitizing what he's been saying. Just last week in the middle of a sentence he started slurring incoherently talking gibberish. So you need to expand your news sources and stop saying someone is lying when they are telling the truth.   How about this for evidence: in the Carroll deposition he looked at a photo of himself, Ivana, Carroll and her husband  at the time and claimed Carroll was Marla Maples, his ex wife. You probably never saw that in your sanitized world.

  9. I'm willing to take a wait and see attitude and at least see what he can be when healthy. I'm drawing a line through last season due to the injury.  If he is still not worth activating after preseason then it's over, but who knows. He could end up starting with Benford moving to one of the vacant safety spots.

    It's that time of year again.

     

    Everyone is excited about Free Agency.

    The league calendar is about to begin.

    The draft isn't too far away.

    The future is bright.

     

    Just as we take our first breath of spring air, we log into TBD and we see:

     

    "We need to resign DaQuan Jones."

    "I can't believe we resigned Taylor Rapp."

     

    No.

     

    "Re-sign" means to sign again.

    "Resign" means to voluntarily leave a job. It means the opposite of re-sign.

     

    Cheers, Bills Fans, to re-signing our best players and winning the Super Bowl. 🍻

    Your next assignment is to explain the difference between your and you're.

    First, I think the chances are that you would have done worse, and I would have, too.   It simply isn't simple.   Having said that, however, I know (because I thought it at the time), that when I traded up in the third round, I would have taken Russell Wilson instead of TJ Graham.  That probably would have made a difference. 

    You better have traded him like the Seahawks did, otherwise we'd be eating an $85 million cap hit.  😄

    For those of you that read the Buffalo News, there is a good article there today about the moves Beane could make to create up to $60 million in cap space.

     

    Pretty reasonable set of moves presented, nothing dramatic, and allows the team to stand pat on Diggs and Miller.

     

     

    If you have today's BN, check out page 4 where they mistakenly put a photo of Edward Snowden instead of Jack Teixeira.
