Fields  
Archer : 1/18/2022 4:45 pm : link
So you have seen enough of Fields to believe that he can be a good QB?

What has Fields done to warrant your praise?
Perhaps refer me to a game so that I can see what you see

Fields blows. Stop pushing your anti jones agenda dude. We get it he sucks. That being said schoen cannot cut bait with fields as easily. Jones will havw zero effect on gms choosing giants. This is evident based on the names being interviewed. Enough already



Jones will have zero effect on the GM choosing the Giants?

Did you just write that?


yes, i did. the new GM can cut ties with him right away...its a blank canvas...in chicago he is STUCK with fields....pretty simple concept.

I'm comparing QB types and their first-year production.

Both Allen and Fields have very similar skill sets and similar struggles their rookie year. This shouldn't be so difficult to follow. So, pulling the "bw hates Jones" card is just lazy.


It’s not lazy, it’s true.

You liked fields coming out of college, so you took this opportunity to bash jones one more time while simultaneously trying to pump your own guy

Because the case to the contrary is absurd. Why is an incoming GM going to want to commit to a QB with Jones's resume and a possible neck issue? We just fired the only GM stupid enough to even think about doing that.

Game out the near future. What scenario has Jones here for longer than 2022?


Who's committing to Jones?

He could be on the roster for just 2022.

That's a commitment?

The issue I have w/ you is if Jones sniffs any part of Met Life this coming season you're going to blame Mara.

David B. : 1/18/2022 4:55 pm : link
Based on the little I've read of these guys, he'd be my 1st choice, and if he brings Daboll over, so much the better.

Apparently he crushed his first interview. But I think most of these guys would be good choices.

If I'm Schoen, I'd rather be in NY over Chicago for the better WEATHER alone. I think half the reason Brady went south was he was sick of Boston winters. (Wouldn't surprise me).

Go look at Fields's games against the 9ers and Pittsburgh.

Fields showed his arm talent and his great ability to scramble.

He's far from a finished product, but there were more than enough flashes - for me.

Schoen wouldn't be stuck with Fields if he liked him. If he didn't like him, he might be able to find a trading partner, like Keim did with Rosen. A good GM can get very imaginative trying to solve for the QB.

I'll blame Mara if Jones is on the team beyond 2022. I can see him being a cheap placeholder in 2022, which is not something I would do but it's a possible first step in a complete rebuild.

Jones shouldn't be here in 2022, but he can not be here in 2023. That's a five alarm fire.

I don't think it's taking a shot at Jones, who is not likely to be on the team for long when a new GM takes over and therefore probably isn't part of the equation.

Daniel Jones had a couple games his rookie year where he flashed and it hasn't worked out. I dont see it with Fields as a big time NFL QB.
why are you guys pissing on bw for simply saying what is logical  
Producer : 1/18/2022 5:08 pm : link
and absolutely true.

Fields is not considered to be garbage outside of the BBI bubble. He has shown enough for many observers to still think he has a shot to be an elite QB.

If Schoen shares that opinion, then objectively, the Chicago job is better, in reference to the pieces on the field.

He still might choose the Giants for other reasons, no doubt.

But if he likes Fields, he will believe the Bears have a shot at a star QB in-house, and the Giants do not. That's a big advantage, and certainly trumps on extra top-10 pick.

+2. I'm fine with Schoen, but would prefer Hortiz.

Schoen would really have to love Fields to decide that the Bears have a better QB situation. As others have said, Jones is here for one more year maximum, and then the new GM can pick his own QB. He might even be able to do so this year.

We also have two top 10 picks and double picks in the third and fifth rounds.

When you say observers, are you referring to NFL analysts? I haven't seen anyone really tout Fields as being potentially elite.

And I don't dislike Fields, I just really haven't heard that.

Whether Fields can put it all together and become a franchise QB is obviously a very difficult question for anyone to answer.

But there is a much bigger skill set and higher ceiling than Jones.

This is just a guess of course but do the math.

Fields has a lot of the same dimensions as Allen. Not quite as big, but a great runner and a big arm.

Normally this would be good news, but didn't we hear similar reports about Joe Judge two years ago.

I guess part of me would wants some kind of "independent, real football guys" in the room with John Mara and Steve Tisch that: 1) Isn't a family member, 2) Isn't way beyond his expiration date (see Accorsi in 2018; Polian this year) or 3) doesn't have strong ties to the organization.

I don't know who that would be, but I'm scared about "crushing an interview" relative to what Mara and Tisch think.

Whatever you say, Milton.

It all seems clear to me - a person seeking a GM position would want to go to the place that has the best opportunity at QB.

And, IMV, it's a helluva lot easier to be sold on Fields than Jones. We have three years of data on Jones. It's average at best. We have one year on Fields.

The best opportunity at QB for a GM is to pick your own QB unless there's an established franchise guy in place like Rodgers, Brady, Russell Wilson, etc.

He has none of the dimensions of Allen, none. He is a thin QB, 2 or 3 inches shorter.

Oh, please. Have you ever been looking for a job and had multiple offers? If so, how did you manage that if you liked
each opportunity?

If there is a chance Schoen gets offers from Chicago and NY, and he likes both, what do you think his decision process should be?

Both are storied franchises. Both are big cities. Both have shaky ownership right now.

Both situations are risky.

There is obviously zero guarantee on a QB you draft (highest risk). On the other end, you have to hope there is a good market of established QBs - proven assets - and you have enough assets to get fair value (less risk, IMV).

Once again, QB decision is much more straightforward in NY than Chicago, because he can move away from Jones a lot easier and pick his own QB. In Chicago he goes to a situation where he didn't pick the QB
He's just driving up the price on the Bears

who are significant steps above the lowly Giants.
Glad to hear it. If he's hired I hope he's a great choice.

But this isn't like interviewing coaches where we get to see their work to an extent on TV even if they're coordinators. I'm flying blind here. I couldn't pick any of the guys the Giants have interviewed for the GM spot out of a line up a month ago and most of them I hadn't even heard of.

The list seems wide, cutting edge and young. Which is what I hoped for. Now I hope they choose a great GM from it.

IMO Daniel Jones will remain a polarizing player for as long as he's on the Giants roster. Mark me down as someone who will be surprised if he's let go before the 2022 season. Hopefully if he's still on the team when training camp starts there is competition for the QB spot and no designated starter. Also mark me down as someone who has seen enough to believe Daniel Jones will never be a top 10 QB in the NFL. Also mark me down as someone who believes the Giants aren't going to win their next Super Bowl until their QB is in that discussion.

I saw a lot of Josh Allen's rookie year. His nickname should have been wild thing. Whoever the coach is that worked with him to hone in his accuracy - something that almost never happens at the NFL level, you show up and you either are accurate or you are not - is someone to keep an eye as future big time head coach or OC. That's a QB whisperer.

As far as Field's on the Bears goes. I saw nothing from him that made me think he would be a top 10 QB either. But he is really green, maybe an excellent QB coach or OC can play to his strengths.

A lot of us are disappointed the Giants didn't draft Slater or Parsons. I haven't noticed a single post that said they should have kept the pick and drafted Fields, even from the people who really want to see Jones replaced like me.

Maybe down the road if Fields develops into a top 10 QB I'll be proven wrong. But it took me about 3 games to wish the Giants had drafted Herbert instead of Andrew Thomas and I think Andrew Thomas is the best player on the Giants roster. Herbert had star elite QB written on him as soon as he got on the field. The Giants should have drafted him and dumped Jones after his rookie year. That was probably his peak value.

Some of your takes border on parody at this point.

The only time I ever hear about Fields being really good is on threads about Chicago being a better place to GM.

FYI - Daboll, Ken Dorsey and Jordan Palmer all worked with Allen the last four years.

It all seems clear to me - a person seeking a GM position would want to go to the place that has the best opportunity at QB.
So if Schoen chooses the Giants over the Bears will you assume it's because he prefers Jones to Fields or will you pivot to the myriad of other factors that go into making such an important career decision?

Correction - Field has really good skills. Those skills have not coalesced yet into a really good QB.

and absolutely true.

Fields is not considered to be garbage outside of the BBI bubble. He has shown enough for many observers to still think he has a shot to be an elite QB.

If Schoen shares that opinion, then objectively, the Chicago job is better, in reference to the pieces on the field.

He still might choose the Giants for other reasons, no doubt.

But if he likes Fields, he will believe the Bears have a shot at a star QB in-house, and the Giants do not. That's a big advantage, and certainly trumps on extra top-10 pick.



When you say observers, are you referring to NFL analysts? I haven't seen anyone really tout Fields as being potentially elite.

And I don't dislike Fields, I just really haven't heard that.


I have heard it.

What is clear is that Jones is almost a zilch, in terms of material that would make this an attractive destination.

Fields is not a zilch. How Schoen grades Fields may very well decide which job he chooses, if he is offered both.

A lot of people were critical of Nagy for failing to scheme for Fields' unique talents. And in the last few games Fields played he showed some real promise with an electric arm and running ability.
