The autumn wind is a raider, and it’s favored by 3

This is going to ignite a war amongst the fans. Bagent hasn't retally don't anything special. 9/12 62 yards 86.1 passer rating and people are going to treat him like the he's the Bear QB savior.

Yeah, he literally hasn't been asked to complete a single intermediate throw, let alone a long one.

But he's a fantastic contrast for showing how much Fields' dysfunction was hurting the rest of the offense's abilities to do their job.

Bad play by Stevenson, it’s 2nd and 25, don’t give them a free set of downs for no reason dude

I feel like he doesn't look back a lot and gets flagged because of it.

It's going to be Grossman vs Orton all over again, isn't it?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That was a *brutal* call imo.

100% yes.

[BigSlick]

It’s not gonna be Grossman vs Orton, it’ll be closer to Cutler vs McCown. 
 

but the real smart ones know that none of this likely matters and the next starting QB isn’t yet on the roster 

[BigSlick]

roughly 2 minutes and 3 time outs - big moment for Bagent, lets see if he can complete a pass over 8 yards

In Buckeye Nation's wildest, wettest dreams is Fields Cutler.

[Tryptamine]

Horrifically terrible clock management.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Nice time management

It's a better comp, imo, because the "challenger" for the starter is someone who people project way more fantasies on that doesn't make any sense, whereas there was at least some semblance of an argument to make for Grossman v. Orton. 

[Tryptamine]

They just refuse to let Bagent throw down field, even with the time running down.

[BigSlick]

I'm glad we got to watch the team really squander an entire drive and somehow end up in the position where they had possession with 15 seconds and somehow not used any of their timeouts, which is just insane. 

Eberflus should be fired for that alone. 

 

[Wilson A2000]

Yeah, bring Peterman in lol

[UMFan83]

Bagent is exactly what I expected, competent backup QB. He doesn’t make a ton of mistakes. We don’t know he can move it down the field yet but i assume there’s a reason why they aren’t asking him to do that.

Even for an end of first half Hail Mary

[BigSlick]

Folks, he can't actually throw that far its not a let him or not let him situation

That is true, but what was that Peterman throw?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Bagent looks better than I expected. He's not forcing any potential turnovers and those two third down conversions were NFL-quality.

But mostly, he's proving *exactly* how much Fields holds back everyone else.  Only one sack, plays being checked at the line when it's the right call, quick-hit throws being executed on-time, every receiver getting a chance to make plays.

[Wilson A2000]

 

 

[BigSlick]

I will say Bagent's internal clock is way better than Fields's. Except for that sack at the end of half, he's been prompt with getting rid of the ball or getting out of the pocket. That's something that Fields hasn't gotten ahold of in 3 years. 

[BigSlick]

Brian Hoyer is so bad he overcomes the Bears favorite tendency to give up long completions on 3rd and long 

[UMFan83]

Should Foreman have been playing all year or is the blocking just better/competition worse?
