Avast ye scallywags! Shawne Merriman, an ex-NFL star, be tellin' OutKick's Dan Dakich that them landlubbers in Chicago made a foolish mistake in tradin' Justin Fields. Aye, them young QBs need time to become swashbucklin' legends on the gridiron! Arrr!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, the Chicago Bears be makin' the bold move to trade Justin Fields afore the start of the season, signalin' their intention to snatch up Caleb Williams with the No. 1 pick of the NFL Draft in 2024. Former NFL star Shawne Merriman, in a jolly manner, be speakin' on OutKick's "Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich" and be expressin' his disagreement with the trade of Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers, arguin' that Williams should be given time to learn afore bein' thrown into the fire.Merriman be advisin' to give Williams at least four to six games to figure things out, instead of tossin' him into the fray from day one. The USC Trojans standout, likely to be the top pick in the draft, be boastin' a Heisman Trophy win in 2022 and impressive stats in the previous season. The wise pirate Merriman be highlightin' the importance of givin' young quarterbacks time to develop, like Patrick Mahomes who sat for almost a year afore takin' the reins.So, me hearties, let us heed Merriman's words and give the young signal-callers time to grow and learn, rather than expectin' them to turn the tides of the organization from the very start.
