He did everything he was supposed to do and had us with a 12 point lead with 4 mins left, and the defense went and gave up two tds. Also one of our wrs dropped a game clinching pass after he had fumbled earlier in the game. And he did it all without the thumb in his throwing hand being one 100%. There is nothing a Caleb Williams or Drake Maye could do to elevate this team with all the holes and terrible coaching. Poles will most likely take a QB just to cover his ass and give himself a few more years but it will set us back a few more years and maybe longer if they bust l.
I can’t believe that so many people are still hung up on whether Fields is “the guy” or not. Simple answer is that he is not. In a perfect world, I would trade him for more draft capital, draft Bo Nix in the first round, and sign Kirk Cousins to a cheap one or two year contract because he’s old and currently on the gimp. You then have a guy who can get wins while Nix gets broken into the NFL, eventually have a stud backup, and a safety valve in Cousins if Nix ends up being a wash. The remaining draft picks to be used on defense and to solidify the O line. It’s either that or use up a ton of cap space on a proven free agent QB/trade (see how that went for NYJ and CLE). Time to part ways with Fields. He has had more than enough time to prove he’s a winner or not. We’ve been “rebuilding” for decades, and 2024 is an excellent draft class for QBs.
