Agree, especially on the Williams part. I've never seen a highly-touted draft pick with "bust" written all over him as much as he does. My worry is we move on from Fields, draft another QB this year that produces, at best, the same we got from Fields, and then we're back to resetting the team again in 2-3 more years.

I'm all for MHJ as our first pick, but no way he will be there at 4.
I'd rather have MHJ at #1 overall. Like the #5 pick, but feel like we might end up with the 6-8th by the time the season is over.
I feel like Fields is far from a bust. Statistically, he's become a mid-tier QB this season, and I think that's perfectly fine.
Half of the teams in the league would have an upgrade with him at QB and he's a clear #2 (behind only Trevor Lawrence) coming out the largest QB draft class in history. He doesn't need to be a locked-in top 5 to not be a "bust".
Last year we had 5 games in a row, averaging 30 points for that stretch, but went 1-4 because of the defense - yet he gets the blame, when he was the clear reason we were even in those games.
Obviously, I'm still in on him, and I feel like the horrible coaching and playcalling is playing a part in him not taking the gigantic leap many expected in the offseason. You see the same behavioral issues and habits (only worse) with Bagent, and it becomes clear that our entire QB room is suffering from the way they are coached.
Worked out last time it happened.
