I wouldn’t be scared.

In my opinion EB & RR got us to the # 2 pick.

The compensation we received for SH was pretty decent though. I don't hate the trade.

Ron, EB, Sam, they all played a role.

I get that circumstance weren’t ideal for Sam, but they rarely are and you have to make do with what you’ve got. He took way too many sacks and threw too many picks, just too many negative plays. I like him and think he can play a little but he’s probably best suited as a backup and spot starter. Too many limitations in his game that get exposed over 17 games. I thought the trade compensation was more than fair.

This has been a consistent issue with him, even before the NFL. The O-line wasn't great, and the play calling was even worse, but you would think if there was ever a season he could shake the propensity to hold onto the ball too long, it would have been last season.

people fall in love with mediocre QBs all the time, we saw it with cult brennan, patrick ramsey, colt mccoy, etc.

we flipped a 5th rounder into a high 4th/low 3rd and got some cheap years of service. The bears took the #11 overall pick and got significantly less. (part of this is that low completion % tends to mean bad nfl qb)

We're getting a huge upgrade, and if SH works out decently in seattle, that's great for him/them. he has lower end starter potential, he's actually pretty good on bombs, can make some things happen, but the time to release and reading defenses part needs a lot of work.

It’s because we haven’t had competent play consistent for a long time. And the 2 guy we had, the owner didn’t like…cousins and Brad Johnson.

So yeah it’s true what you said, but the fan base is hungry. It’s kinda disappointing lotta of the talking heads around skins media not bring this up…but not “hot take-y” enough I guess.

Last month who would have thought the Skins would have gotten more for Howell that the Bears would for Fields?

It seems like Poles did not handle the Fields trade well. Makes me wonder if the dumb Bears ownership got involved in the process and screwed up the timing of the deal.

seattle thinks he is .. the GM was praising Sam on his toughness and ability.. i hope he plays lights out !

fields nixed 3 trades per a report, so that's probably a big part of it.

Not sure how the "nixing trades" thing works. A clause in his contract?

Poles said that they ran trades by Fields because they wanted him to have a say and do right by him. I suspect the other deals weren’t as good or maybe slight better than what the Steelers offered at most. Still, if that’s accurate, may have helped placate his teammates who wanted him to stay.
