And then Houston fires it’s coach a few hrs later .
I wonder if that had something to do with it
It's very possible they had already let him know in advance it would be his last game and played it professionally by not announcing it until afterwards

If that's the case, he absolutely knew the circumstances in regards to draft position and was going to go out on his terms going for that 2pt point conversion and screwing them LOL

Bryce Young isn't worth a the number 1 pick, he's just a guy who was surrounded by talented teammates and great coaches.

NFL will go to a lotto system sooner than later I think. Much needed.

Something like the NBAs % weighting would work well, tilt it a little more towards the top obviously

But having so many teams tank the final week for a pick messes up the league.

Mills wasn't having it
People want teams to tank and call them dumb when they don't .... then when they do they complain about tanking
Good luck controlling the players from trying when they want to keep jobs especially a QB

Based on the evidence it does not look like tanking is a problem in the NFL

Houston yesterday . The Jets 2 years ago .

You guys just assume Chicago is in love with fields .

Not saying they won’t keep him but they could easily move off him if they deem Young or Stroud worthy
Finally

Very easy to see them consider dumping Fields for one of those two

Umm the Bears started Nathan Peterman yesterday

Eagles w/ Sudfeld 2 years ago let Washington win the division when their defense was dominating them

Numerous examples of this

I was a huge Fields critic and said he wouldn't get better and be a bust

He has no weapons to work with and this year decided to do most of it on his own by taking off and having 1100+ rushing yards

I don't think there's any way they move on from him....yet
