Agreed. He was injured in non contact drills and it was lower leg again. He was done when we retired him. Time for him to do commercials for the Good Feet store.
I rated fields as the best QB in the draft. You all know how valuable info is coming from me since I also rated Trubisky highest in his draft ?. If I can get to even, I'd be more than ecstatic. ????
If we are the 7th team in, I want it to be hard earned with solid wins and some heartbreaking losses that make us say, "we should have a better seed than this"...
The main thing that excites me is that I never heard a single story about how Trubisky did anything like this, ever. The most exciting story I heard about Trubisky, is when Pace went down to visit him and he booked the private room under the name Jim McMahon. That's actually sad looking back...
With Vick, it was the first 5 yards that set him loose and to the eye, special. Fields has long speed and a bigger frame. Both skillsets are great, but different.
He has a unique technique. On pass sets, he waits for the DL to get hands on him first then apply a counter move. My only concern is if he faces a strong handed edge rusher that uses that against him. We'll see real soon. I'm optimistic!
We are missing depth at left tackle. My personal preference would be to let our rookie season in at right tackle, as that is where his best experience is. It is always risky to start a rookie there anyway. Love or hate Leno, his experience will be missed. Our depth at middle linebacker is also a concern. Otherwise. I like it...
I would cut Graham. Although his production was good last year, his presence this year will stunt Kmet's growth as they play the same position. When they implemented Kmet in the short passing game last year, he showed more playmaking ability and some nasty attitude that fires a team up. I like Hicks for one more year. 75% of Hicks is better than anything else we have up front.
No, no, no, hell no! Yes, Fields is dripping with talent. But he needs to learn the ropes. Bringing him along slowly is absolutely the way to go. Too many QB's are ruined by early expectations.
Miller is clearly on notice. Like I said in another post. He was publicly on the trading block and nobody wanted him. Now he has to get his head together or his NFL days are done. Somehow, I think he'll have a decent season.
