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 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.
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.
Jimmy G about to get whacked... This is the new Niners Assistant GM last weekend with Jimmy to discuss his "position on the team"
nah i'll have that convo with you when you show me you can have an adult conversation. until then it's not worth my proverbial breath
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.
