Justin Fields traded to the Steelers for a conditional 6th round pick

For less than an average backup, they have 2 shots to make it work. One is only 25 and is a very low risk proposition. If it does not work out and, as you say, leaves them with nothing at the position, what have they lost? A 6th? They would then be bad enough to be in a position to draft a QB. They would not be tied to an average QB on a huge contract trying to make it work.

The point was that if it doesn’t work, and the odds are against it, they’ll have *no* QB. Sucking to then draft a QB doesn’t make them geniuses.

The description of Carr is overwrought. He played well last year, steadily improved, and won more games than he lost. He’s being treated like any other QB in that position.
