Are there any generational QBs coming the draft after this one? I don’t know shit about evaluating QB talent, but if the rumors are true that Caleb holds the ball long and has character issues, wouldn’t it make sense to get MHJ and others and then wait for a more solid franchise QB prospect?
People want something to believe in. They want a good story. They want Fields to be the high character, hyper athletic, super exciting hero who struggles through adversity and owns all the haters. Their egos are invested in the image of JF1 as H1M, the young new athletic QB who redefines the position and is every boy’s role model. They want heroic redemption.
In reality, I think Justin is nothing extraordinary. He’s neither amazing nor trash. He’s just a pretty good NFL QB. Getsy and the low talent last year have certainly made him look worse, but there’s no way he’s elite. We need an elite QB. I don’t know if it makes sense to go for Williams or Maye this year or get MHJ and others and then grab a QB next year, but we should move on.
