Maybe I'm underrating how big of a deal a new OC is but I just don't see why it's a huge impediment to Fields. Great, good, whatever QBs get new OCs all the time. It's maybe the coaching position that changes the most from year to year. Players manage it. Far more important to me is finding an OC that is able to develop their scheme to best fit the talent than anything else.

Is Justin Fields elite? Bears @ Browns Sunday at noon
BigSlick replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Herbert has not looked right at all since coming back and its actively hurting the team. I don't know if he's still hurt or what, but he doesn't have the burst or the vision he had beforehand. Roschon is clearly the better option at this point, and Foreman is probably the best back on the roster. -

I honestly don’t entirely hate the idea of drafting QB1 and keeping Fields as a bridge QB next year if you can’t get more than a 2nd for him. The roster is coming together nicely, I expect they’ll be competitive for a playoff spot next year, Why spend unnecessary money and time on an Andy Dalton type? of course you may be worried that would ruin the lockeroom but if ever there was a guy with a good attitude, it’s Fields. And hell, if he plays amazing, all possibilities are open. -
actually never mind! Never Count Out Touchdown Tommy the packers lose, all is right in the universe.

It’s a beautiful thing when the Packers lose lmao of course, I shouldnt have said that

Is Justin Fields elite? Bears @ Browns Sunday at noon

I think his stat line oversells how well he played yesterday. (And I think his stat line in the first Detroit game undersold how well he played). He was consistently missing guys high yesterday, and even a handful of completions didn't put the receiver in the best position to get YAC. He missed Mooney wide open a few times, he missed Kmet on a sure TD (which he later redeemed with his own rushing TD), and he took one egregious sack and caused another holding penalty holding onto the ball way too long. The pass protection overall I thought was adequate to good - he just didn't pull the trigger fast enough on several occasions, and on several others he made a good play the hard way. Your mileage may vary on if thats good or bad or neutral. -

Browns just lost their starting right tackle for the rest of the season. Can Joe Flacco keep the magic going from here on out? This will be a fascinating game. The Browns game in 2021, for better or worse, was where the Fields starting era began - and it was a calamity. The coaching staff hung him out to dry. Will this be better? I'm expecting a very 2005 Bears-esque game. Low scoring, lots of ugly offense, and a 3 point difference. -
Fields didn’t show us anything new yesterday, but he did limit his mistakes and I think he was even a tad uncharacteristically inaccurate due to weather conditions/thumb/just not having a super accurate day. i just don’t think he can make the next step if he’s consistently dropping back, getting 5-6 seconds of protection, not liking what he’s seeing, and taking a sack (or, spinning wildly out of one, and maybe scrambling for a few or finding someone). The latter is great and all, but the former is all too common and disastrous to offensive consistency. The Oline protection broke down a couple times, but overall the protection was there. (I’m more concerned about the run blocking to be honest), I don’t think we can have a consistent offense if Fields isn’t ripping the ball faster - and that hasn’t changed much this year, to be honest.
-
If there was a way to demote him to full time Defensive Coordinator and give the Head Coaching duties to someone else, I would. as it is, I’m still for firing him for any result short of them ripping off 4 more straight wins and getting a wild card berth.
-
Fields didn’t show me anything today that would sway me from keeping the 1st overall and drafting Williams or Maye, sorry to say
-
Man, Fields is missing everyone high And he particularly can’t hit Mooney for some reason
-
I CANNOT believe the Lions jumped on the most obvious “we want you to jump” play, and then, beauty the Lions are outBearsing the Bears right now lol
-
That’s a complete pass to me, so I dunno
-
Even when Fields is completing passes, he’s throwing them high and not always giving them a chance to get some YAC this game is really not encouraging me on affirming him as a long term solution
-
Man Goff has been mostly bad today bears still managing to grasp defeat from victory here
-
It’s totally arbitrary and I will almost certainly change my mind again but: I’m out on Fields based on that sack alone. He does it too often and it’s inexcusable and he can’t be doing this on his 3rd year playing for his career.

Bears Bad
-
Ok maybe I’m out on Fields THROW THE BALL
-
Bears need to respond if they even want to keep this competitive
-
This is how bad teams lose a normal average team is up 17-0 by now and not letting the Lions hang around
-
What….what the hell was that 4th and 1 call?
-
It’s wild how bad the Lions have played against the Bears so far this year The Bears need to find a way to win this game now - I know they hate to win in decisive fashion but please figure it out

The NFL is conspiring to get the Bears the #1 pick
BigSlick replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
It would be really funny if there was a conspiracy to get the Bears to be good by arranging events where we keep getting the 1st overall pick and the Bears, stubbornly, remain bad -

I watched some highlights and man...Mitch looked brutal out there. He only got picked off once but there were 2-3 that should have been. I feel bad for him and I'm rooting for him as a player and a dude, but man....he stinks. And thanks buddy! -
I'm sure some college stars will opt to take NIL money at some point, but I don't think it will ever, ever make sense for them to do it. The possibility that you experience some horrific injury, or just more practically, you have a down year and it affects your draft stock and, as said above, you delay the clock on your 2nd contract means it doesn't make any goddamn sense to do it if you're looking at being a 1st round pick.
