    ...he just did put in a full game of that performance. Also, I'm confused by your numbers, ESPN has him at: Do you mean second half? Yeah, sorry. That was just the 2nd half. And yeah, that makes 3-8, 73 yards in the 1st half which isn't a full game performance, though can argue had 3 that could have been caught that really make those numbers look great. Makes sense. I'm encouraged by the "not rock bottom" 1st half followed by a genuinely good/great second. That type of QB play would keep a team in every game. I don't think he has to light up the scoreboard all game every game in order to be what we hope for, but if his baseline is competent QB play, he's bound to have some big games down the road by stitching two great half's together. He certainly has the talent

    If this is him figuring out, I'd be more than joyous Good game by Fields. Cut out the dumb plays, get a true #1 wr and a center please

    I don't know enough about the different types of quarterbacks, but to me, they should run the Patriots' offense from the early Brady years where he was throwing short, quick passes on slants/picks to WR and button hooks to TE with the RB as a safety valve to dump off the ball. They could go down the field 6 yards at a time. Once the defense started biting then they'd hit a long pass or the RB would pop for a big gain. I know it's not the same people and the OL Brady had was good to great. But there is a way to game plan to based on the weakness of the team. If they can't find a way for quick pass plays to work, they're basically screwed. they called that offense the "ameba" offense because it was more based on finding or creating mis-matches. It was a bit more then 6 yards at a pop. It was Belichick looking for his fast guy against their slow guy. his tall guy vs their short guy, his slot wr against their sam lb, etc etc on every play. If Getsy can do that, yes please, but I dont think he's at BB's level yet.

    Isn't that the opposite of the WRs he has the most success with at Ohio State? Olave or Wilson?
  10. minnesotacubsfan
    this worked great for the Giants on the Jackson pick..I say do it all game
  11. minnesotacubsfan
    im not interested in that "why", but I am gravely concerned that his lack of moves is only putting this team farther behind

    This offense is so horsefeathering full of holes that Poles ineffectiveness last off season only creates a situation where he's likely to be ineffective this next off season. HTF is he going to plug the holes in one off season? He has draft picks and salary cap space, but whats he proven so far? he can oversell a terrible NFL offense? I mean, this past offseason is basically totally useless as to trying to tell us what Poles can do because he mostly punted on trying. You got a couple second rounders you can try and evaluate him on, but even then, grading draft success takes time. So who knows, but they have cap space to do whatever they want this offseason. Enough to dramatically increase the quality of the O. Not top 5, but competent, middle of the road O. Getting beyond that you need a QB obviously. If he punts on trying in FA again it will erase any idea that he is planning on building around Fields. not doing a damn thing to get some talent at WR or OL (and no, signing everyone's washed up 1st rd pick wr doesn't count) is what I can evaluate him on. he had cap space this past offseason, enough to do SOMETHING and he didnt

    competent personnel? How much competency does one need in order to stand in someone's way in order to let another person run by? more then the Bears have?
  14. minnesotacubsfan
    Do they really need certain personnel to run a pick play? competent personnel?

    it is unreasonable to expect a 2nd year qb in a new system with no talent around him and a coaching staff determined to not try, to elevate the offense around him. Fields had an impossible task that maybe only a HOF vet would be capable of achieving. It is unreasonable. I think we all wanted Fields to be the MJ of the NFL and be an unstoppable force, unfortunately we have a young QB that needs to grow into being a NFL QB. But the Bears being the Bears, they are entirely inept at doing just that. To me, that's what's frustrating. Every horsefeathering year is another year the team is somehow allowed to waddle around with their thumbs uta instead of doing what every other nfl team seems capable of doing Getsy, Poles and Eberflop aren't going to figure out Fields in time. Instead, Fields will fail, Poles will get to draft his QB who will also fail to develop and we'll be looking at a new gm in 5-7 years

    Don't dooooo it

    1) its probably all of those reasons 2) why would any of it be intersting? Because I’m a bears fan for better or worse and I’d like to understand if Fields (or the team in general) is improving or not improving. Doesn’t seem all that crazy To be clear *im* not watching tape because I know horsefeathers all about tape watching. I will be surfing Twitter to let other people tell me I get the pageantry but dude, why do it to yourself?

    When Mooney said Getsy was only going to be here 2 years I didn’t think he meant because he’ll be fired. "genius"
