Makes sense if Fields isn't ready especially playing at the Rams on SNF and Aaron Donald. That would a tough start for a rookie QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's like matt ryan in the pocket with insane athleticism.. and a cannon.. he has a high floor and high ceiling Whether he reaches it is debatable especially with jax Edited August 24, 2021 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not comparing ceilings, but it seems like we will never know Trevor Lawrence's. Another fair comparison. I feel like we will be seeing QB's in the future wanting to leave organizations that they feel aren't putting a good enough team around them like star NBA players. QB's are really the only NFL players with comparable leverage. I could see Lawrence as he is approaching 30 asking out of Jacksonville if they can't put a decent team around him.

billsfan89 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 11 minutes ago, Buffalo716 said: I can see Lawrence leaving after his contract I think he takes the money after his rookie deal expires if he is performing well enough to justify a fairly big extension. The risk of playing out a rookie deal when the Jags have the franchise tag in their back pocket is simply too great for him to not just take a huge guarantee. Then once he is approaching the end of his second contract he will tell the Jags basically that he isn't going to resign once his deal ends. By that point he will have collected on a big contract and have the ability to make whatever decisions he wants football wise. I think that will be a trend among top tier QB's. Similar to what star NBA players do towards the end of their second contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's throwing up as a result of a concussion, that could be serious, and represent a vestibular issue, which would be a very bad thing for a professional athlete. Hopefully, it doesn't become a long-term issue for him. I'm really looking forward to the AFCE being a competitive division, but man... the Jets can't catch a break!

Vomiting is one indicator of a nasty concussion. There is no insinuation other than your own that Becton was puking because hes out of shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 22 hours ago, MasterStrategist said: How does guard depth change with Lamp on IR? Boettger and Bates were/are our best 2 backup interior guys, regardless of Lamp being healthy. Someone trading for Dillard is looking for a starter, not to make him their 4th tackle. just my opinion Based on previous results I think Boettger is better at starting guard with Cody Ford but Ford can back up both guards and RT.

The Becton thing to me is scary because it sounds like he had the head to head collision and the Jets didn’t recognize it. He stayed in and then went to the sidelines himself and started Upchucking before someone noticed it and then trainers came over. With everything else they have done - to potentially totally miss a huge concussion to the point that he is throwing up - that training staff has some issues. I also think it is funny that they say they pulled him - that was not how it read as it was happening, but maybe the reporters were missing something.

It does seem like the case that Becton continued to play few more snaps before he puked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panthers play the Jets in their opener. They had talked to someone from NY ( which I missed) earlier in the show and that is how they presented it; as if it happened prior to the concussion.

What’s Aaron Donald going to do to him? Kill him? Under the new rules, AD is barely allowed to breathe on him. Anyway, Fields was the starting QB for Ohio State, ffs. I think he can handle it.
