Fangio loves Teddy. But I do not think Paton got a true evaluation of Lock and looking at a young player with 2 OCs does not help. I think Lock will remain unless he is packaged for a trade of a big name QB. If we draft a new QB Lock will
likely be incumbent. I think Lock on roster was why Fields was not drafted but Fangio screwed up the evaluation by doing anything to give Teddy the starting job that Lock. I know
Lock had his issues and after 1st preseason game I thought it looked like he took big strides in progressing as a QB. Teddy was Teddy.

You can keep bootlicking the staff, but by all measures, this was a poor choice. Look at the dollars going to Bridgewater vs. the highest paid CB in the league...
Will see what Fields does next season.

The flaw in your thinking here is assuming all teams and situations are static.
If Fields is drafted his season most likely wouldn’t mirror what’s transpired in Chicago. They’re a terrible team, with the one of the worst offensive lines, he didn’t get first team reps until weeks into the season, etc. etc.
I’m pretty sure Joe Burrows rough rookie campaign ended in injury too…

That said Burrow took over a 2-14 team. Fields inherited an 8-8 team. The Bears have been better when Fields hasn't played, they look like they will go 5-2 without him. That is a fact. Hopefully the Bears bring in a coach who can develop the kid, no one questions his physical talents.

He was undoubtedly better, but once again this was a much different situation. Joe was the starter on day one and the offense was built around him. Nagy didn't want Fields to start, he didn't get 1st ream reps until many weeks into the season, and the offense was designed for Dalton.

'Player: Comp.% TD / Int Yards
Burrow. 65. % 13 / 5. 2,688
Fields. 59%. 7 / 10 1,870

Originally posted by sra84 View PostI think someone said it in a thread a few weeks ago....this was like debating which stinks worse: dog or cat droppings.
Bridgewater stunk, then got hurt.
Darnold stunk, then got hurt. I guess I will say Bridgewater was better than Darnold, but it wasn't by much.
Winston was injured early on.
Lock was a non-factor until the last 4 games.
Fields, not surprisingly, struggled as a rookie and also dealt with injuries.
Don't know if there's any winners in this debate.

Every snap the Broncos allow that coward Teddy to take shows they lost the 2021 QB Crow thread imo

I get it sucks to swing and miss but never taking a swing is not the answer either.

The question of what are the suggestions for a plan go deeper then which QB is drafted, signed, or traded for.
IMO it revolves more around the coaching concepts and system. Who are the Broncos? What is their offensive philosophy? Do they draft or sign the players to support these systems? At the moment, I don’t think they are in any way stable or have a direction.
The QBs ( Jackson, Allen, Fields, Jones) mentioned above as “ missed opportunities”. Would any of them be utilized as they should or developed to their current levels of success with the revolving coaches and changing systems the Broncos have had over the last few years?
Impatience and poor decisions of OCs are just as critical ( arguably more) then the choice of QB. IMO the QBs mentioned would have been mismanaged and squandered the development as most bad teams do.
Fix the coaching and settle on an identity first, then develop a QB in that system.
