When the GM drafts players without the coach's input, the team has moved on from the coach at that point.
In typical Florio fashion, he says ..
Zimmer confirmed something we’d heard as the 2021 draft began: “The first round, Rick tried to trade up for Justin Fields, who hasn’t done anything.”
The Bears eventually moved from No. 20 to No. 12 to snatch Fields. And it’s unfair and inaccurate for Zimmer to say Fields “hasn’t done anything.” He’s a very dangerous runner. He’s developing as a passer. He could end up being the starter in Pittsburgh, at some point this season.
Zimmer said Fields hasn't done anything .. and he hasn't. Florio of course tries to contradict it while using phrases like "is developing" and "could end up", which are not based on what he has done but simply what Florio thinks he might do one day.
The only thing you can say about Fields is that he's a fast runner, but the NFL is filled with "fast runners".
