Is it?  Did not know.   Thought he had a couple more years on his rookie deal.
Just checked, next year is his final year.

I'm on the side of the majority that they pick a QB at #1.

What about Eberfoxtrestman?

I will never get the time back I spent watching the game where John Fox punted on all 10 possessions

That's a bad beat in Detroit, lol

But not in Charlotte. I could've put the grandkids through college if I had bet against the Panthers this season.

I hope Fields is the long term QB for the Bears.

He won't be if he keeps having 18 carries per game.

Vikes offense dominating again early but failing to score inside the 5 yet again because they inexplicably waste 2nd and goal running with Mattison.

Such a bad offensive plan all year inside the 5. Thank god the Broncos couldnt tackle for the first TD.

Offense looks great again other than that.

Just kept going to Mattison and handed away a game they had nearly wrapped up

Having Hockenson take the snap and then option to Dobbs may be the worst idea I have seen this season.

I agree that Mattison stretches the fungibility of running backs to its limit. He's been bad - I don't get it when you can consistently find workable replacements for close to free.

You lose your franchise QB and a fill-in miraculously steps in to help keep the playoff push alive, why not make sure that fill-in gets more hits than needed?  What could go wrong?

Speaking of stand-ins, Flacco signed to the Browns practice squad in a truly bizzare move from his perspective.

He's made $175MM in his career, doesn't need the money, and he's nearly 39, so it's not like he's getting another sizeable contract.

He hasn't been a regular starter in a couple years and was demoted for a third stringer last year.  And he's not brought in to start, so it's not like he's got the competitive fire to lead one more playoff push.

And to top it off, his last 2 teams, Philly and the Jets, are centric to NJ where he's from so he'd presumably be living in a spot where he'd want to be post-playing days.

I really like Cleveland, but if I had FU money, it wouldn't be somewhere I was hankering to hang out during the winter for the short term.  I mean, maybe he wants to get into coaching and this is part of it, mentoring wise with a young QB?  But you'd think he could get a proper coaching gig easier

I mean, maybe he just likes playing football.

Practicing football...cause the odds of him actually playing in a game are fairly low at this point.

And sure, but it's like if Andrew McCutchen signs a minor league deal with the Twins this off-season. Or Brook Lopez not getting extended so he goes to the G-League.  Would just be odd at this point.

With the rate of QB injuries this season, I would hesitate to say Flacco won't play.

I wouldn't say practicing for the Cleveland Browns and carrying a clipboard for a few hours every Sunday is all that similar to playing for the Wisconsin Herd or Wichita Wind Surge.

Anyhow, maybe he's bored. Maybe he made some bad investments. Maybe he can't stand his wife and and just wants to get out of the home for a while.

Am I living in the 'Twilight Zone'? This is from ESPN "Fields was terrific in his first game since dislocating his right thumb on Oct. 15. He finished 16-of-23 for 169 yards and a touchdown."

Since when is 169 yards and 1 TD "terrific"? It is terrific for Justin, but for a 3rd year pro it is a decent game in the NFL.

Fans can go way overboard criticizing Fields, but calling his play "terrific" seems equally disingenuous.

.

Leaving out he rushed for 100 yards is also a bit disingenuous.

Fields was the best player on the field for 55 minutes.

Yesterday was another great day for the Bears and their fans.

They found a way to turn a seemingly sure win into a loss, and got to watch from afar as the Panthers embarrassed themselves (again).

They even got to see Justin Fields, their maybe yes maybe no QB of the future, play relatively well.

Tim Boyle is likely the worst quarterback in all of the NFL. How he even is on an NFL roster is something.
