Week 3: Bears at Browns

[Hairyducked Idiot]

As much as I want Fields to Wally Pip Dalton and Foles in football oblivion, why is Fields more ready to play when Foles is the backup than when Dalton is the backup?

Huh?

 

I think the point he is trying to make is that Nagy has said, "Fields will start when he's ready and we will all know when that is". He wasn't ready last week with Dalton as an option, so why is he ready this week when Foles is the only other option? The only thing that makes sense is they think Dalton is better than Fields, but Fields is better than Foles.

 

I mean, we know they don't want to waste anymore time on Foles, which is understandable. But a lot of us have questioned why they thought it was OK wasting time on Dalton.

 

Are football coaches allowed to lie to the media?!

It is considered uncouth.

I get it. You don't think it's a big deal what Nagy says, you make it clear every time 2 days after the conversation has ended. And yes, he does have every right to be coy with every single thing around the team. But we also have every right to criticize him as his Fangio induced good season followed by a pair of mediocre years which include failure to put an NFL caliber offense on the field hasn't given him the benefit of the doubt.

Criticize him for that then.

For me, the concern in this statement is why the horsefeathers is he lying? Either Fields is ready or he isn't. Sure, if Nagy fucks it up it's on him and good riddance. He'll have horsefeathers up (2) 1st round picks and he clearly isn't the guy to continue leading this team.

 

I hope to god that isn't the case for both our sake and Justin Field's, but that's were we are

Or, how about this idea......I type whatever I want? And in reality, isn't it all a criticism of his level of success/coaching? If it was clear Trubisky just didn't have the brain to be an NFL starter. If his handpicked Plan B, Nick Foles wasn't jettisoned to 3rd QB because they couldn't find anyone else dumb enough to take his contract after he failed. If Dalton was any different from the previous 2 QBs and was actually putting up more than the exactly 7 points each half of football he has played. He wouldn't be criticized for his QB comments and decisions if he had shown he can make the right QB decisions. The best offensive football under Nagy, came when he didn't even call the plays. So, yes, him saying "Justin will play isn't ready" 1. isn't going to be believed when we here others (including the same offensive coordinator who called the plays during the Trubisky 30ppg run). 2. doesn't make sense to say when he was ready enough to be 1 very early in-season injury away from starting, considering you have another experienced QB on the roster.

 

If Sean Payton said Winston wasn't ready to be a starter and started Taysom, he'd get criticized, but not to the same extent. If Bill Belichick kept trotting Cam Newton out there instead of Mac Jones, well maybe he knows what he's doing. Nagy has given no indication he knows what he's doing, as far as the QB position is concerned. And lying about his reasons doesn't sit right with me that he has the franchise's best interest in mind. And I'm not even a Nagy hater. I think he clearly is a strong leader. I think he needs to be hands off on the playcalling, but I think he's a guy that will get the most out of his players at most other decisions. I think he can evaluate talent and for the most part puts people in the right spots to succeed. But I think the best case scenario would be him bringing in a playcaller he trusts and taking a backseat in that area and is the coach in Chicago for the next 10 years.

Quinn wants to play football this year. Maybe he was just injured last year.

[d_money]

A Quinn sighting, nice sack!

[minnesotacubsfan]

Quinn has 3 sacks

[Wilson A2000]

Terrible play call

[UMFan83]

5 plays, 4 runs, 1 pass call that turned into a run. Kid gloves mode activated

[Tryptamine]

That play on 3rd and 2 was absolutely awful.

[Wilson A2000]

RB should have gone left of Peters

[Soul]

I can only assume Fields has no option on play calls today? That was the wrong play for that defense

[minnesotacubsfan]

I hate the roughing calls, Jesus

[Bertz]

I'd heard good things about Greg Olson in the booth but I think this is my first game that he's calling. I think I'm a big fan already.

[minnesotacubsfan]

HAHAHA MAYBE KICK THE FG U JERX

[UMFan83]

Bend but don’t break is back

same, he's pretty good so far.

 

Also It's been a long time since I watched the Fox pregame show: holy geriatric

[Soul]

LOL if Mack shows up like that all game it definitely changes the odds.

 

Keep going for it though. I’ll take the ball back with no points.

If you think you’ve seen it before, you have. It’s Mitch Y1 all over again. Expect a lot of scrambles from Fields cuz he can’t pick up the 2/3 options.

2nd and 20 draw play is Nagy punting on the possession basically

If we win it will be on D for sure.

He's amazingly predictable.

Scripted plays are over. He can’t call an offense in-game.
