I think there are 4 more winnable games (MN, ATL, AZ, and GB). Given that it’s always been a rebuild project, I think we keep Poles, Flus, and Fields if we get 7 wins, especially if we look okay in the losses.
The team is on the way up, still playing hard, and I think 3 years is a more reasonable timeline.
I think it depends on what pick we get. If we end up with #1, it’s very hard to pass on Maye regardless of how Justin performs (within reason). If we end up with #2 and Maye is gone, I think Williams is no better of a prospect than Fields was, so if Fields looks even okay then we might as well keep him (the contract is irrelevant to us at the moment.) If we end up with #3 or later, I think Fields has a real chance of staying anyway, because Harrison becomes the target and there is no other QB you need to take in the top 10 this year. We might grab another QB late in the 1st or in the 2nd after trading back, but he won’t be an automatic starter.
Disagree. Williams is a much better prospect. Navigating pocket, working through reads, hitting windows instead of waiting for wide open guys, and mechanics are far superior than Fields had in college.
