So it was a bad interview? What’d he do, fart? Did he interview together with his step brother wearing tuxedos?

Andy Lindahl claims that Paton loved Fields and only passed on him because of the epilepsy.

I think Fields fell to the right team for him. That offense (west coast spread) fits his strengths.

No one is smart.

Paton would be about the dumbest man alive.

Apparently concussions would be the fear.

Not a big enough concern.

Yeah that’s life but I wish him the best either way unless they play Denver.

Ohio State are worse at developing QBs than the Broncos - hard pass on Fields, he will be Dwayne Haskins 2.0

Paton is a genius for realising this.

I think Shurmur is a bigger problem that Lock or Bridgewater as both appear to be limited QBs and I don't think Shurmur has the ability to play to either of their strengths

Shurmur is Rick Dennison level garbage.

I will hang up and listen

Fields isn’t Hoskins. It’s an unfair comparison. One wants to work, the other clearly doesn’t. The Broncos had a chance to make an impact at the position and chose not to. Hopefully, Fields isn’t a Herbert-like player, though he easily could be. Oregon quarterbacks were worthless until they weren’t too.

Lock has upside but no consistency, Bridgewater has mediocre consistency but no upside. It’s a bad situation. If I’m a coach with a good defensive roster and playmakers across the offense, I’m definitely picking the guy who doesn’t make mistakes. I expect Fangio to do just that.

MOtoreboat - what's happenin homie?

Even when we disagree, you are still a beautiful man with a vague similarity to ed Sheehan and other homeless looking people

Oh - and for the record, I know he is not Haskins, as apples are apples but he will tank just like him!

Book it!

The General Paton train rolls from this station.

Thanks, I guess. From everything I’ve heard, the Hoskins-Fields comparisons are just really unfair. Hoskins reportedly has no work ethic and Fields is the exact opposite.

Agreed fields is head and shoulders above Haskins in the work ethic department. There is some credence to worries about epilepsy and concussions. I think Paton did like him, had some concerns and went what he felt was a safer route in Teddy B and drew who are easily replaceable with min franchise effect. Th results will show whether he was right or not on the field, and if he ends up being wrong, he better do everything in his power to go get a QB next year or this fan base will turn on him quickly.
