Bucky Brooks went on TV yesterday and threw out an idea that if Fields fall within range, Ravens should consider trading up for fields and dumping Lamar because it’s Greg Romans scheme that makes the QB and to take advantage of rookie QB money. Today, he doubled down on Twitter..
Why do people disrespect my man so much.. wild.
1. Justin Fields and Lamar are not really that comparable at the QB position. Pretty much every QB in college can move like Fields can.
2. I have literally no idea what "falls within range" means. Fields isn't making it out of the top 15, and I'd say him falling beyond 10 is unlikely also. The "range" to trade up at that point is probably like 3 first rounders, which is well outside the scope of what we're doing.
3. Greg Roman isn't an Andy Reid or Bill Walsh-level play caller, where he can just churn through personnel, win a bunch of games, and get lifetime guarantees of an OC position on the team. There's no guarantee he's even the OC here in 12 months or longer. He could get fired, or he could get hired as a HC somewhere else. So there's no way an organization is making personnel decisions of that magnitude for a coordinator or assistant coach.
