Some draft rumours

[ABQCOWBOY]

I think that's moving the goal posts a little. First it was, 'he never goes beyond his first read', now it's 'he never goes to his fifth read'. Does anyone know how many times Mac Jones went to his third, fourth, or fifth option? I'd wager it was even less than Fields (and why would you, when you have Smith, Waddle etc). I've seen this before with Dak. There is no possible way to meet requirements when the requirements are constantly changing. 'Dak is innacurate' 'Oh, we didn't mean he was inaccurate overall, but only on deep throws!' 'Oh, now that that's disproven, we didn't mean inaccurate on deep throws, but that he can't win the game.' To call it what is, people are stereotyping Fields as a prospect because he's an athletic black QB from Ohio State. And crappy for him, the last black QB from Ohio State flunked out of the league

Fields is everything anyone could want in a QB and he's being downgraded, irrationally, because someone decided to parrot the stereotype that he's not 'smart' enough for the position (because he's an 'athlete'), while white guys like Jones, Wilson, and Lawrence NEVER field these criticisms, despite two out of three of those guys being less accomplished than Fields, while also being really really good athletes

That's fine, I don't care if people think it's moving the goal posts. End of day, everything I said is true. This article doesn't really tell you anything. I suppose whoever said that he's able to only make one read can defend the whole, "one read" thing you mention. I never said that so not my issue. I did say that I believed he was a two read QB, I for sure said that. So you can say that you don't agree and that's OK but it's not hard to see. And for the record, I don't love the Bama kid either. You say you've seen this before with Dak, well, I hope you have. Dak has issues with this as well. What does that have to do with anything? Is Dak being drafted in the 21 draft? If Dak was a better pocket passing QB, he would have been taken way higher. What's your point?

Fields is not the perfect QB. He's not even close. You just have to watch him to see that but if that's what you think, OK. Just don't try to sell me on it. I know what I'm seeing when I watch him. But I get it, you don't want to hear it.

Never the less, the point I make about the article is true.

Nobody does self-validating circular arguments like Albuquerque Cowboy.

There is literally an article above saying that Fields went past his first read more than any other QB in the draft. LOL.

J. Fields is getting drafted third by SF..Anybody want to bet against that?

Rapaport says Oweh a fast riser currently.

I'm really torn.

Part of me wants one of the QBs to fall to 10 and give us a great trade-down opportunity. Another part of me wants 5 QBs to go ahead of us so we can take whoever's at the top of the board. The ideal situation is, Slater + Surtain + Horn are all there and we can take a small trade down and still get one of them, but who's going to be jazzed to trade up with all the QBs gone?
