    I've never seen anyone talk about Fields' field awareness as a positive.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    *checkmark in the "X games left are what will really tell the story for Fields" box* This game will definitely have an outsized effect on how the fandom feels about him going into the offseason. If they win this game and he doesn't completely poop the bed, the fanbase goes full Tebow. Meanwhile, Jordan Love needs 157 yards to get to 4000 for the season. It's unlikely to hold him under that but I would enjoy it.

    Williams isn't as good as Manning, but the parallels are funny. Manning was the consensus no. 1 pick by a wide margin going into his senior season, but prospect fatigue set in and people started to nitpick things like his personality and his college team's ability to win big games.

    Umm, there was a QB in the Randy Moss draft too that I think was probably the right call at 1.01Ao-1.1
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    Two responses: 1) What evidence do we have that Eberflus is a lame-duck coach in 2024? 2) Williams is a prospect caliber that everyone would want. It's not the same thing as picking a second-tier QB prospect and then finding out he's not the right type of second-tier QB prospect for your new coach.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm not intimately familiar with every team's situation, but generally speaking probably. He's a really bad QB and if he's the best you can do, you're better off trying to develop a project than settling for him

    Any scenario in which Justin fields is your no. 1 QB heading into camp is a failed offseason
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    I definitely wouldn't put Williams in the Luck/Manning category. He's a half step down from that. If someone offers you three firsts (the first one being fairly high) and more for him, I can see that being tempting. But if you let that sort of maneuver talk you into keeping fields as your QB, you've outsmarted yourself

    8-9 would be so much more satisfying than 7-10

    I'll just leave this here. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/202012270jax.htm

    Probably Fields' best game of the year
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    We're talking about a guy with one 300-yard passing game in his career. His best isn't *that* good.
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    imo, Eberflus' job was never in doubt, Getsy isn't actively harming anything, and Fields is just driving up his trade value. Drop 50 on 'em, Justin.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    This is the best Fields has looked since Washington
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    That was a really nice job of Fields seeing Tonyan sitting down and immediately releasing it. If he had done that consistently the last two years, these conversations would be a lot different.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    Reminds me of the Washington game where the defense was too stubborn to give help om Moore.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    The moment they won a couple of games and went from the worst in the league to just regular bad, his job was safe. That's the point of "rebuilding." To reset the expectations so low that everyone's job is safe for a few years.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    I know that in a min-max way they should hold out till literal draft day on moving fields, but I expect them to break the news to him that they intend to early in the offseason as a respect thing, and it will leak
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    The Panthers are 100% gonna pull what Houston did last year
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    It'll be solved way before then.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    Picking fights is on brand for me, but caring about anything a WSCR person says or being on twitter are not.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Williams also has a significantly more accurate arm and quicker release.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    Yes. But not in the way you're imagining. The skill sets of the players drive the game plan. Bagent is able to run a quick-hit offense that Fields cannot because Fields has an excruciatingly slow dropback and release to pair with his slow processor.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    Any scenario where Justin Fields is still the Bears QB is a non-starter. You cannot keep handcuffing your franchise to a player who cannot do the most important part of the job (making snap-decisions based on defensive looks) at the most important position. Plus, the offensive line isn't half-bad. The perception that it's bad is *exactly* why you can't keep Fields. Bagent came in and was sacked exactly once per game (5 in 5 games). The *second* Fields was back in the lineup, we're right back to 20 sacks in 6 games. Fields makes everyone around him look worse (except for DJ Moore for whatever reason).
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    I don't like the Fields comparison at all, personally. Besides the height and speed differences, Williams is *way* better at throwing on the run and much more accurate. Williams is somewhere between "taller Kyler Murray" and "shorter Mahomes." But he's going to have to adjust to NFL speed and complexity. ("A-ha! That was Fields' problem." That's *every* college QB's problem. Williams doesn't have the glaring "he can't make the leap" issues on his tape that Fields had. He just hasn't proven he *can* make the leap until he does.)
