We already knew Fields could run in that range. And I don’t know what ‘can categorically make every throw’ really means: Zach’s QBR throwing into coverage was easily the best in the nation and even ahead of Burrow’s incredible accuracy the year before.
) sounds like a bit of shitposter. I would totally support trading up to draft Fields, mind...Cool cool cool
Fully agree on Darnold.
Yep pre-season games have reduced to 3 & they can’t be more than 3. Apparently the only way they could get 17 regular season games was to reduce the number of pre-season games. They also can’t go more than 17 regular season games under the current CBA.
.The physical demands of the different sports are not comparable.I don't know anything about American Football, rules wise but to me a 16 game regular season is ridiculously short.
Why has 1 extra game been met with such opposition?
Don't the NBA play like 80+? And baseball & ice hockey similar?
My local non-league team plays about 10 friendlies then 46 league games and various cup competitions, maybe the NFL are just lazy
The game is considerably more physical and damaging. And it takes months of conditioning in order to play those 16 games during the regular season and then add playoff games.I don't know anything about American Football, rules wise but to me a 16 game regular season is ridiculously short.

The physical toll is akin to regularly getting in car crashes. Some players are left physically and mentally debilitated for the rest of their lives, and the severe brain damage suffered over time is becoming more well documented. So adding a game for non-sport reasons but just so that the owners can make more money wasn’t well received.I don't know anything about American Football, rules wise but to me a 16 game regular season is ridiculously short.

Hardly comparable, the footballs & their respective impact on bodies & minds. A good movie to watch about the effects on football & the brain (& the coverup attempted by the NFL) is ‘Concussion.’ One severe incident of the negative impact American football has on the brain is found in the story of Mike Webster:I don't know anything about American Football, rules wise but to me a 16 game regular season is ridiculously short.

By this guy's logic, Josh Rosen should be a better pro player than Josh Allen because one went to UCLA and the other to Wyoming.

The NBA would be way better with a 15 or 30 game season. Watching regular season NBA is pointless if you don't live in the right timezone, because the games don't really matter individually.I don't know anything about American Football, rules wise but to me a 16 game regular season is ridiculously short.

If we’re going to take your antiBrady campaign seriously, you can’t be advocating for a 15 game NBA season.
That's purely selfish from my own standpoint, the Brady reframing is legit and should be considered by all.
I'd be taking any times recorded this year with a humongous pinch of salt.
It’s a fecking racket.

Obviously I’ve no clue but I’ve seen plenty of articles based on the premise of Fields being on the board if they move up to 5 and potentially even beyond. Who knows.
Unfortunately doesn't look like they have a shot at him if the Niners traded up for him because the top 3 order won't change anymore. Mac Jones' stock has been skyrocketing the last few weeks though so he might go at #3 but I can't imagine the Niners trading up that high (basically mortgaging their entire future) to draft someone like Jones.
Trey Lance reportedly has the highest or second highest ceiling of all QBs in this class though. Could be doing a lot worse than drafting him and developing him behind Lock but not ideal because it's definitely not a sure thing he'll become a (top quality) NFL starter.

I’d pass. Hopefully the talk of Denver in talks with Atlanta is true.
To surpass which QB-needy team, only Detroit? Could be but the cost might be too high for the reward in that scenario.
Chase to the Dolphins would be ideal imo (bona fide WR1 rather than a contested catch receiver like Parker being your WR1). Bengals need to protect Burrow first and foremost and already drafted a budding superstar in Tee Higgins last year. Unfortunately I think they'd be stupid enough to draft Chase as an AJ Green replacement and reunite him with Burrow.
Whilst we have been desperate for a no1 WR, if I had the pick I might actually lean towards Pitts. The guy is a freak of nature and Pitts and Gesicki is the sort of TE pair that would make Belichick die of jealously. But Pitts could go anywhere from the 4th pick onwards, hard to say who takes him
To remove all doubt. In my paranoia if Fields is still there and he gets to 7 or 8, the teams that didn’t have the ammo to move up to 3 are making calls - CHI/NE/WFT...
Good point. Still think Fields is SF bound, but we'll find out soon enough
In his mock today Daniel Jeremiah has Jones at 3, Lance at 4 and Fields at 7 to the LionsGood point. Still think Fields is SF bound, but we'll find out soon enough
By some metrics he’s better than Tua; I don’t like to do ‘helmet scouting’ just based on the school they came from, but here it sort of normalizes for quality of competition and teammates. I can see why people think he could look like a Matt Ryan in Kyle’s offense.
