I'm out. You guys basically had Fields, with Lance, and that didn't work.
I get the comparison but I think Lance was always more raw than Fields and we have seen Fields be good at times in the NFL. Lance has never been good. All the talent in the world but doesn’t have the processing ability to be an NFL QB.

Lance was a terrible pick because he didn't play in a power 5 conference
Poor man's Carson Wentz

I don't like him for your offense. If he were Josh Allen's backup, that would be fine.
From what I've seen, he's a chuck-it or tuck-it guy. Expecting him to execute a complex offense isn't a good idea.

49ers need a good back up for next year. Both Dobbs and Allen are FAs. I thought bringing in Fields might be a good idea especially if they don't extend Purdy right away and have him play out his last year. They can franchise tag him after next season as well so that would give them a couple more years where they can decide on Purdy but also bring in more of a project with high upside that you don't need to spend a high draft pick on. But I think Fields will get a starting job next year with someone.
reply
Fields can't see the field or read defenses and holds the ball for longer than 2.9 seconds.

I suspect Minshew could be had on the cheap. He plays much more in that style and probably is not actually as bad as he looked this year.
