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".
well, what is this, year 4 for Fields? he has done NOTHING as far as a leader and a winning QB. So Zimmer was right.

What if those players threw him under the bus with media, FO, etc and got him fired?...I don't know what happened, so I have no right to judge him on that. If you know, please share....


I mean. At the end of the day Zimmers team couldn’t get over the hump.

I don’t think anybody got him fired. I think it just happens in the NFL if the team is stagnant. The NFL goes through head coaches like diapers at a nursing home man.

That's why I said, what if...

Well, Its still kinda hard to forget the Get Rid of Zimmer (GROZ)hazefests on these message board(s) that went on and eventually led to his departure from here the first time.

I hope he has evolved from some of his earlier bend but don't break principles that I was not the biggest fan of his first time around here.

QB's have to be passers first.

GM's chasing the Holy Grail of running QB's with potential to become a QB is moronic.
