    Given the choice I think Poles is looking at Maye over Williams. If picking later I believe it's McCarthy, Nix, or Penix.

    Yet, they won, most definitely in spite of Bielema.

    Herbstreit kept stressing Young' supporting cast, I agree, if you've got the goods. Then the supporting cast doesn't have to be top notch, think all that's really necessary is a decent enough OL to keep the rush off. Which, by the way, the Bears have.

    With Fields it's one step forward, two steps back.

    Strange as it sounds I'm somewhat hopeful that Poles will be able to draft an NFL caliber QB. I think Bagent offers a little proof Poles knows what to look for in a QB, yes, there's arm strength issues. But, there's evidence of Bagent being able to read progressions, call the proper check-down and get the ball out. In 2024 Poles will be position to get a QB who has the arm to go along with the other skills. Pace basically drafted the same QB twice, sure, Justin is the better athlete and smarter than Mitch but, they both have similar flaws.

    Is Eberflus still the coach? If he remains I do not see how that is possible, yesterday, playing an awful Saints team, 5 TO's, still had a chance to win. Yet, Eberflus and Getsy masterfully coached them to a loss, with Fields coming back I don't see how it's going to improve. With Fields you can say goodbye to the check-downs/quick reads and hello to more sacks with potentially more TO's. The only way it's going to change is if Fields hits the horsefeathers it button, stops thinking, trusts what he sees, keeps his head up and pulls the trigger. I firmly believe he knows the X's and O's, when to check-down, where the hot read is, etc., somewhere between the mind and the physical execution is a disconnect.

    That's what I was getting at, there's excellent chance they don't score 17 points with Fields. How many unnecessary sacks would he have taken today? I'd say at least 5.
  8. gflore34
    What's more depressing is the knowledge that the results would have probably been worse if Fields was the QB.
  9. gflore34
    Poles would earn some of my respect if he told Velus Jones don't bother and left him on Bourbon Street.
  10. gflore34
    If we there was a way to translate some of what Bagent has to Fields we'd have something.
  11. gflore34
    The whole of the Big Ten West is the same team - meddling to poor - no chance whatsoever in the Championship game.
  12. gflore34
    Neither am I, on the whole, Bagent gives me a small ray of hope that should Poles be given a chance to draft a QB. The QB won't have major processing issues or a super slow release, Poles just may know what to look for in an NFL QB. Regarding the Bears back stabbing, etc., Fields has anyone at the Score taken into consideration that Collingsworth is stupid horsefeathers hick who talks out of his ass?
  13. gflore34
    I think this Sweat trade only makes sense if Jaylon Johnson is remaining a Bear. Right? It's the only context that seems feasible.
  14. gflore34
    If this does happen it'll be someone young, fast and cheap, probably not a starter on his current team.
  15. gflore34
    Fields has to know its almost midnight on his Bears and perhaps, NFL career, I wonder if we'll see some changes in his play. At the very least he should not take so many sacks, if he doesn't see anything, throw the horsefeathers ball away. Don't just hoppity, hop, hop, holding on to the ball waiting to get sacked and injured/re-injured.
  16. gflore34
    Don't know if he took another snap after that, maybe, if we're lucky, it was his last play as a Bear. Poles cut his losses with Claypool, now it's time to do likewise with VJJ.
  17. gflore34
    Kenny Smith when asked if there's anything for Bulls fans to be excited about answered the Bulls have a lot of assets. That should tell us all we know about this Bulls team.
  18. gflore34
    Holding on to ball too long, the inability to recognize a defense or not trusting what he sees, the Bears didn't coach any of these traits into Fields.
  19. gflore34
    Fields problems will show up where ever he ends up, sure, say, Atlanta may design more plays to his strengths. However, the issues with quick reads, processing are fundamental flaws that are going to keep him from being a good NFL QB.
  20. gflore34
    This means one of Williams, Maye, McCarthy, etc. is the Bears QB and Bagent is the backup.
  21. gflore34
    I'd be willing to bet quite a bit that Justin knows/knew this as well, for whatever reason, cannot execute. It could be, as some have said, a point of confidence, he's over thinking and doesn't trust what he sees, which, I guess, is another way of saying its a lack of confidence.
  22. gflore34
    After seeing some of the tape, he could have absolutely torched the Vikings, that's the frustrating part. I wouldn't be surprised if Goff and the Lions light the blitzing Vikings up.
  23. gflore34
    When you've reached that point it's lost, sports is all about pull the trigger or not, nothing good ever comes of over thinking or hesitancy.
  24. gflore34
    Regarding Fields is it the slowness of his delivery or the lack of mental aptitude? With Fields I've gotten the impression he oftentimes has the mental part correct, we've seen examples where he's looking in the correct direction or appears to know where to go but, the ball doesn't come out.

    Me to, I'd really like to see Phillies - Rangers though, far more entertaining match up.
