Justin Fields All-22 vs. Detroit

[LPMAN]

Reminds me of the movie Shallow Hal:

- Hal: "Let me ask you something. Who is the all-time love of your life?"
- Mauricio: [ponders] "Wonder Woman."
- Hal: "Okay... let's say Wonder Woman falls in love with you. And everyone else in the world didn't find her attractive."
- Mauricio: "It wouldn't matter. Because I know they'd be wrong.?

That was a great movie…..and you know you are not wrong about feltdizzy

You know less about football then anyone I?ve ever seen type on a message board. They have about the same mobility, similar arms, both can?t go through progressions very well in the pocket, both too innacurate, both get sacked pretty easily. They have way more similarities than differences. I thought by now you?d have some semblance of honesty and say yeah I didn?t see that coming correctly. Wow

I repeat, if you think they are the same it shows how little you know.

It sounds that he struggles to find open guys (like Kenny).

Or that guys just didn't get open.

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

Exactly!!!!

Now, use the same logic for Kenny.

Well, the Steelers have the first overall pick in this year's draft, so even though they love Kenny, they think that it is time to move on, and in this QB driven league you can't pass up a chance to draft a generational talent.

Wait, I think I made a mistake there somewhere. I'll get back to you.

Fair...probably some combination (QB, scheme, WRs). Like Kenny.

I get it.

But if they "loved" Fields, he'd still be their QB. I think what it means is that they thought he was a good team mate and he was showing progress. But the opportunity cost of running the experiment of him developing over picking a guy 1 OA (starting the rookie contract clock again) was too high.

Just like I think we were comfortable running Kenny (and Mason?) back to see if Kenny developed. But the opportunity with Wilson was too good to pass up.

In both cases, I think the teams "liked" or "were content with" their QBs. At least until a better opportunity came along.

If either of the teams these guys were on thought they demonstrated they were clear cut NFL starters, their teams wouldn't have felt like the other option was the way to go.

I'm an OSU homer, but I'd stan for Fields had he stayed at Georgia. Would anyone in Pittsburgh have wanted Kenny had he had the exact same career at Wisconsin or Oklahoma State?

I was also never a huge Haskins fan, thought he got overdrafted.

Wisconsin? Absolutely, we dont miss on those guys. Im drafting whoever comes out of there sight unseen.

Maybe yet ANOTHER REASON we grabbed Russ?

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

We could help our qb's by drafting well. Starting with a quality RT imho.

I think we have to include C as well, particularly someone who can put the shotgun snap in the QB's hands consistently. For the last few years of his career, we saw Ben save dozens of bad snaps quite smoothly. Even in the last SB, I noticed several bad snaps that the uber athletic, former shortstop Patrick Mahomes easily snag. Unfortunately, not every QB can do this as easily, and I'd love to see someone who routinely puts it on the numbers for the QB to start the play.
