This is a pretty good fucking tweet.

I saw that tweet and responded to it. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t cater your offense to a player with rare gifts.
There are good arguments on both sides of this coin. I’m of the belief you roll with Fields for another year and build around him. A couple good OL, and MHJr and this offense could be transformed. Fields has weaknesses, but they are weaknesses that can be improved upon. You can’t make a guy faster or give him a stronger arm.
Troy Aikman said he has reversed course and says he thinks you stick with Fields and build around him (at least for now). Used the Eagles as the model, who had built a championship roster and waited on the 2nd round QB to develop.
I am perfectly fine with them drafting a QB high next year (but I’d rather trade it). I don’t think you dump Fields for a measly 3rd round pick. You offer me a top 35 pick and I would think about it.
Franchise quarterbacks don’t have to be drafted 1 or 2. Those guys bust all the time. Mitch Trubisky, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance. You’re more likely to draft a bust in the 1st round that a franchise guy.
Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Lamar, Jalen Hurts, Russell Wilson, Dan Marino, and a litany of other great quarterbacks weren’t taken top 10 or even 1st round.
Hurts, Purdy, Russell, Kirk Cousins, Gino all current examples that good QBs don’t have to be high 1st rounders.
