    It's okay to have concerns. It also concerns me, but, doing research on it. It doesn't seem to be that concerning. There is a difference though.

    I also understand why teams wouldn't be comfortable with Justin Fields because of It. However. I don't automatically assume the worst case scenario for the kid either. There are obviously A LOT of successful athletes In the world that have this condition and have still managed to play at a high level at their sport. That aspect of things I definitely understand.

    Let's not pretend like this was your context though. It's obvious on what your intent was.

    It was exactly my pretext. And I only brought it up today because Leggy seems to think that Wilson is a walking injury waiting to happen while ignoring that Fields has a medical condition. That's just a fact. Yeah, 3 guys in the NFL played with it, yet none of them were QB's. It's a giant question mark that the Fields camp refuses to acknowledge while claiming Wilson is a slip away from tearing his rotator cuff. Give me a break.

    You may not think it's a big deal but it's not your money now is it?

    So, say Jets will not be picking him because he is black? Not because they think Zach is a better prospect? A fascinating read indeed... Any other insight like this on why he may be falling behind Lance according to some reports, which suggest 49ers are looking at him over Justin?

    I liked Lance but only if we were trading down and sitting him for a year as well.

    I do not think he’s a walking injury. I said he looked slim in black and you got in your feelings and started off on you epilepsy campaign. I guess you thought he looked buff.

    To be fair to both sides, a rotator cuff injury isn’t the result of having a slim build and a seizure disorder doesn’t mean that it will affect his playing career at all.

    that being said if fields suffers a few too many concussions (being a running QB) or Zach re injured his shoulder, both could have truncated careers while Mac Jones marries a supermodel and plays until he is 48.

    Logic, objectivity and reason? I think you're in the wrong thread pal.

    This presumes Fields is a “running” QB. For perspective Lamar Jackson averaged 1500 yards rushing in his final 2 seasons in college. Conversely, Fields averaged a little over 400 yards rushing his final 2 seasons, Lawrence slightly under 400 and Wilson a bit over 200 yards. Why is Fields getting the running QB tag when his numbers suggest he is closer to a what we call “mobile” QBs?

    I agree with you in fields, but I will say that he will be running ALOT more in year one and probably year two until he learns to read defenses more. It’s not a knock on him, but he will play to his strengths until he feels more comfortable.

    After reading all reviews and assessments mostly negative on Wilson and Fields, I hope JD picks Lance. At least the majority will be in together that this was a shit WTF moment pick.

    That’s probably going to be the case for all the QBs not named Jones.

    IDK if you remember but remember terence newman? I don't remember the specifics but he had some rare condition and had to get some crazy surgery of nerve tissue or something. the cowboys still drafted him 5th overall but a lot of experts were saying he wouldn't last more then 5 years. he played 15 years in the NFL including the 1st 9 with dallas. there was also a OT who had a degenerative spine condition people didn't want to draft because they said he had 5 years tops. he lasted like 8-9 years.

    I feel like the messaging here is extremely important to understand…
