NO doubt that he's very talented... I wish he would have stayed another year, but oh well.. what I'm afraid of is when he sees those MILLIONS in front of him... will that lead to a swollen head and thinks that he's all world already .... man, exactly what happened to JaMarcus and Haskins and that guy name LEAF !!

Is there anything in his background or scouting report that makes him a particular risk for this? More than any of the other potential 1st round QBs?

Asking moon to provide evidence for his opinions is like asking a fish if you can borrow their lawnmower.

this is just my MO but why would we trade so much capitol for Deshaun Watson when this guy kinda plays looks like a younger version of him. I say we might get him but who knows but I hope we get Patrick Surtain II. My feeling is that Surtain II has a high ceiling where as Fields would be a project for the next two maybe three years.

I don't see any similarities between Watson and Fields. Also, the asking price for Watson is high because he is a proven commodity in the NFL. He's a top 5 QB that's only 25 years old. With any of the QBs, it's still a crapshoot.

My comp for Fields has been Dak. I don't think he's as polished as him but I think he has all the tool and a bigger ceiling. I know Kyle has spent time with Fields at their QB camps over the yrs.

I would have no problem going with Fields

I'd love to get someone like Fields. I can see some of the Dak comparisons, but I've been comparing him more to Teddy Bridgewater, at least the potential that Teddy showed his last healthy season at Minnesota. They share a lot of similar traits as far as throwing mechanics. I also see a little bit of Ryan Tannehill in regards to the athleticism and the zip on the passes.

Yeah Teddy I don't see...he has a much more limited arm than Fields. He's also about 20lbs lighter. I would say Fields and Tannehill have a similar arm, which is good.

I get the feeling Fields may just be there at 12....
