NOW you understand where I'm coming from
-
Do you even know how to play would you rather? Sure. To me, that scenario is far better then winning 10 games behind Dalton, winning on the backs of an aging defense, and going into 2022 with essentially a rookie QB we still know nothing about
-
What about a season where Fields wins ROTY while winning only 7 games but losing 7-8 by 5 points or less? I can see that as a positive outcome going into 2022 with this years schedule and holes on the OL.
-
I thought they signed him a week ago Re Dalton/Fields; I just cannot fathom a double digit win season with their schedule and loss of Fuller and Leno w/Dalton as the QB. I mean, I just can't get past that. What ever make believe sauce you guys are taking, send me some plz
-
Ditka, Bull, Sayers and Anthony Thomas. Forgot about Thomas https://www.chicagobears.com/news/chalktalk/chalk-talk-how-many-bears-have-won-rookie-of-the-year
-
Not to sidetrack the debate, but have the Bears ever had a offensive player ROTY? Sayers, but was that it?
-
Unless Pace wakes up on March 1 and feels like he JUST HAS to slap the RFA tag on Dalton because "wow look he got us to the playoffs and I want to keep my job" I don't know that he would, but I'm terrified he might
-
But ok, here's another way to look at it, does Andy Dalton getting the 2021 Bears into the playoffs do anything to help solve the biggest riddle the Chicago Bears have had for nearly 50 years (w/the exception of the Cutler years)who is their franchise QB? No, no it doesn't help that issue one bit. Finding out what you have in Justin Fields does, however.
-
I don't think you understand the poll options. It's a dumb poll. And I know one thing for absolutely certain, Andy Dalton will never lead the 2021 Chicago Bears to the playoffs. You'd honestly have a better chance with Mitchell Trubisky
-
And btw, Dalton is horsefeathering TERRIBLE in the playoffs, 1 TD to 6 INTs https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DaltAn00.htm
-
The last time a Dalton led team made the playoffs was 2014. It's a terrible proposition that only has 1 answer: START FIELDS
-
I'd take Justin Fields all season because Andy Dalton winning double digits seems like total myth. Alex Smith doing it with the Chiefs was entirely different; different QB, different coach, different everything.
-
Hahaha -I completely forgot about the 17 game season ETA: make it 8-9
-
It (7-9 season) probably is optimistic
-
I'd guess 7-9
-
Overall ranked at 14, but your post says 12th was the highest anyone suggested. That still feels low Hopefully
-
I realize the strength of the schedule is a significant indicator of success, but every year teams overachieve or fail to reach their last season's success. Injuries also come into play. The biggest change-maker in a team's success is often the QB play. If Fields turns out to be as good as I certainly hope he will be, 12th seems reaaaaal low. except for the one caveat; the offensive line. That seems like our achillies heel

"ESPN Chicago radio that the Bears never promised Dalton the starting job" - I read that as the Bears did not promise Dalton to start, according to a rumor. I like that. Why promise Dalton anything? "now the Bears don’t want to come out publicly and say he was lying" - i think I misread this the fist go around, thinking that the person reporting the rumor was the one who could be lying. But is this saying Dalton lied and said he was promised the starting job? Who is the "he"? Yes, the Bears organization doesn't want to come out publicly and say my friend was lying to me in a private text. SMDH By "the guy reporting the rumor" I am referring to the ESPN report/reporter, not your friend. But I think I missed something here, did Dalton claim that the Bears promised him he would start? I don't remember hearing that eta: i totally missed this last spring.

what the hell did you read in that post lol "ESPN Chicago radio that the Bears never promised Dalton the starting job" - I read that as the Bears did not promise Dalton to start, according to a rumor. I like that. Why promise Dalton anything? "now the Bears don’t want to come out publicly and say he was lying" - i think I misread this the fist go around, thinking that the person reporting the rumor was the one who could be lying.

-
wait, you dont want the Bears to not start Dalton or you dont want the controversy? I hope that it would be true, I agree with David, start Fields.
-
I'm not sure anymore, but one reason I post here is to be directed to more reasonable takes, I really appreciate it!

Every national broadcast Cowboys game frames them as a perennial contender while they only refer to the Bears struggles at QB. The fact that Dallas has had 2 nationally respected guys at QB while the Bears have had none makes a lot of people think the Cowboys have won a hell of a lot more in the same timeframe. When I brought this up a couple years ago people were aghast at the comparison, just assuming Dallas had a lot more success than they did. you must be watching different broadcasts than i am but yes, the bears qb struggles are talked about ad nauseum (so is their history with defenses and linebackers and blah blah blah) I'm in 100% agreement with jersey. It seems like every year I hear how talented, or well constructed or poised the Dallas Cowboys are to make a run at a SB and every year they fall flat on their face. I think most of it is coming from the NYC media troupes, but not all of it

Ok. horsefeathers Nagy
-
Didn’t see the entire year thing, that’s not happening. Only way it does is if Dalton wins 12. Which also is not happening. Anyway, pace and Nagy signed secret extensions and won’t be pressured into starting fields before week 4. Not sure about the secret extensions thing though it wouldn’t surprise me but I also think that at the very least Dalton is going to get 3 games. Nagy isn’t going to swallow his pride and admit he was wrong after 1 or even 2 weeks. I think it will be like Mike Glennon, who had to be a complete embarrassing disaster over 4 games for Fox to pull the plug on him. 1 bad game - “we’re not going to make rash decisions based on one game. 2 bad games - “we saw some things we really liked from Andy today and believe we’re headed in the right direction. 3 bad games - “we’re going to go back and watch some tape and make the best decision for this football team”. Week 4 - Justin Fields starts Game 1) line holds together "we did some good things" Game 2) line improves "we like our direction Game 3) line not shaky "Justin fields is our qb Vs Game 1) line is horsefeathers "Andy Dalton is in surgery and Nick Foles is our qb" Let's hope for the former

I’m the guy that stated without a doubt the Bears are more or less the Cowboys the past 25 years but don’t get nearly enough credit for it. At least nowhere near the credit the Cowboys get for whatever reason they get a ton more praise. I’ve got to work on my brand recognition if this is the thing people believe about me. You weren't alone, I think I introduced the idea as well. If not, I def agreed with if it
