Oso planning to go pro
I guess he was better than last week (when he had 2 fumbles and 2 interceptions) but he was still awful.
A rookie 4th round nobody small colleges QB for New England is a better QB than Fields. So is Davis Mills So is Cooper Rush.
He made a couple of nice throws and ran intelligently. Its something...considering the Giants were in the backfield faster and more often. than watching UGA play FCS Southeast.I never said he was great, or even good. He airmailed a throw that made me scream. But he also had receivers dropping straight forward catches and had to run for his life multiple times every drive.Zappe was CUSA player of the year at Western Kentucky, not like he was at Carroll College. And he threw for under 100 yards, but yes, definitely the second coming.And Cooper Rush is in his 7th NFL season. 7 years in the same franchise, seeing NFL defenses every week in practice, not thrust in to a crap team with no experience, not exactly a great comparison.But yes, we get it, you think Fields is the worst QB to ever start in the NFC North.
The Packers bypassing the fair catch/free kick option at the end of regulation was stupid. Not Matt LaFleur’s finest hour here.
My lord Mahomes.
And the Bears could have had him. Smh.
I think it is a felony in Illinois to speak or write that.
I'll admit to not knowing much about football but there is no explanation for trading up to take Trubisky in that draft with Mahomes or Watson available. And I believe Mahomes had an impeccable reputation off the field and was extremely impressive at all the workouts. The Bears would likely have 2 or more SB's in the last 5 yrs if they took Mahomes.
This is just a clinic the Chiefs are putting on. I think we’ll look back in two months and wonder how the hell the Colts beat the Chiefs.
Trubiskey though, that’s inexplicable

A little heavy on the exaggeration - even to make a point. You make the same excuses for Fields as others did for Trubisky. But he has been terrible.
I don’t know, Wags. He’s capable of the big play, but he also makes a ton of big mistakes. And I don’t trust his accuracy or his decision making. Hope to be proven wrong.
Should be an interesting game next week: Packers vs. Giants in London; a 9:30/8:30 ET/CT start in London. Dallas owned the Giant offensive line and their defense can be sloppy at times, but who would have thought the Giants would be 3-1 at this juncture. I think the Pack should win this game, but then again I am so used to the Giants losing I think any team they play should win the game. Maybe this season will be different.
Do the Giants have a third-string QB playing the majority of the game? Otherwise, they’ll be fine. The Packers are terrible
The Lions would still give up 35 to the third string QB.
And I never made excuses for Trubisky. I was NEVER sold on him. And there are no excuses today, I never even said he was good, I just said that he was getting absolutely bum rushed, which isn't an excuse. Its just fact. The Giants' blitz was as repeatedly effective as Jones running outside. Fields rarely had time to even look downfield, much less throw a good ball.
But yes, we get it, you think Fields is the worst QB to ever start in the NFC North.
The bolded is where its at for me. The worst part about teams starting young QBs behind crappy offensive lines multiple years in a row early in their development is that you end up having QBs bounce out of the league with grades of "Incomplete." I'm of the pretty firm belief that not having time to throw for the first two or three years of QB's career ruins him to the point where we don't know how good he ever could have been. The window of opportunity to start at QB is generally so short that ruined young QBs don't have an opportunity to unlearn the skiddishness and bad habits. Or they just end up bouncing from one crappy team with a crappy O-Line to another, so its not like we get a real read. I feel like Sam Darnold is in this category. I definitely think he had the skills and swagger to be good, but playing for bad Jets and Panthers teams just ruined him to the point where he'd basically have to be the backup on a competent franchise for like 3-5 years to have any hopes of meaningfully developing.
