The NFL Combine for 2024 has begun. Head coaches and general managers have spoken with us. Players have already begun engaging with the media, and events for specific position groupings are now in progress. Specifically, Matt Eberflus and Ryan Poles have spoken with us. The topic of the Combine has been the quarterback issue. With Justin Fields and the first overall choice in the 2024 NFL Draft, what will Poles do? Brandon Beane, though, has some counsel for the Chicago Bears and Poles.
The Buffalo Bills’ general manager, Brandon Beane, provided us with one of the best soundbites of the offseason early this week during a media conference.
Now, this was in response to a query on teams advancing to acquire a quarterback rather than being directed specifically at Ryan Poles. He claimed it was too long ago to recall, even though reporters were even attempting to persuade him to reveal the pre-draft process that resulted in them picking Josh Allen. Though it’s likely that he didn’t want to reveal too much about their pre-draft process, Ryan Poles needs to hear this comment.
I am still a Justin Fields fan, as is well known. In addition, I think his career will be stronger if he ends up on a different roster in 2024. Poles stated that he wants to treat Fields fairly and that it would be best for everyone to trade him at this time. Should Poles adopt Beane’s Tuesday statement, “Well, if he does not work out, I’m not going to be here anyway,” And no one will give a $h!# if he does turn out” — and when it comes to the quarterback issue for the Chicago Bears, it seems to favour Caleb Williams.
Regarding the Fields supporters who said, “But you can apply that to either one.” Not really. We’ve already seen what Fields brings to the NFL, and if Poles hangs onto him and the Bears don’t make the playoffs, Poles won’t likely have another opportunity to draft a rookie quarterback. He lengthens his grace period if he selects Williams (or another potential). In Beane’s words, “if he works out, nobody will care.” If he doesn’t work out, he won’t be here anyhow.
