is it not possible to pick up Fields fifth year option to keep them around for another year, while you draft the top QB prospect? You could then trade whichever one doesn’t work out. sounds crazy but crazier things have been done. Any thoughts?

What are you hoping for? That Fields becomes your #1 and the guy you drafted becomes your #1 also? You would have to trade Fields in order to recoup your draft capital because the other QB hasn't proved that he can play in the NFL.
you could trade whichever one doesn’t workout. a contingency plan if you will
If Eberflus and Getsy are coaching, neither will work out and we’ll continue to have this conversation every 3-4 years.
If we built a team instead of playing Quarterback Lottery with shitty coaches, we could do something crazy…like win even if we just had a game manager level QB.
Fuck that tho, let’s get a new QB to throw screen passes and run up the gut on 2nd and 3rd down into an 8 man front!
We did win with a game manager level QB though…
Maybe Fields just isn’t the guy?
