Fields is pretty much middle of the pack in most statistics. People keep saying he needs to play like an MVP to stay and I’m wondering why that is the bar? If he’s consistently an average QB, I say build the rest of the team and see if you can find good coaches. A first round QB is just as likely to be worse than better.

There are two ways to build a contender.

Draft a top 5 QB and build your team around him with whatever capital your GM has left to work with.
Have a Kyle Orton quality QB and build your team with expensive weapons with the piles of cash your GM has to work with.

Pick one.

It seems like most of this sub wants to have Option #1. I wouldn't be upset with Option #2 even if that meant that our QB was Justin Fields.

Fields is an average QB with the current coaches and roster. I’m not convinced that he couldn’t be a top 10 guy if those improve. Top WRs and LTs also command a high price, but their hit rate in the top picks is much higher than for QBs. If the team actually looks good and Fields is still average, I agree with option 1, but until then I think we can still build.
