Hairyducked Idiot

Anything is possible. No one knows what is going on in ryan Poles' mind. But it's really hard to figure out where they are going to get a QB from if they trade down.

I hate to tell you that fields was on the field for those fourth quarters and had a tiny bit to do with those results.

Fields is 24th of 27 qualified QBs in success rate, just below Kenny Pickett, 20th in QBR, 22nd in ANY/A, 26th in sack rate. Everyone else who is anywhere near him in any of these stats is a rookie, has lost his starting job, or both. I haven't seen a player inspire so many fans to refuse to see how bad he is since Tebow, and at least Tebow had fake clutchness as an explanation. All fields has is some really cool highlight runs which he doesn't even do anymore.

The reason would be that fields is a terrible QB who drags down your team and your ability to evaluate individual players outside of Qb. But if someone disagrees that he's that bad, then sure.

If the Carolina pick falls to 3, you take MHJ, take another QB later in the draft, dump fields and find a veteran bridge QB.

I was going by average, but it make sense to do it your way. I'm sold, take a WR

I think LT is the second highest paid position on offenses for a reason and if we have a chance to take an great one with our own first, we shouldn't let Charles Leno -- im sorry I mean Braxton Jones -- get in the way of that.

Re: Getsy I think 90% of coaches are Just A Guy and he's one of them. You might as well fire him and hope you can find one of the 10% who are running innovative offenses that happen to attack the NFL meta in a useful way. But it probably won't change anything, just like firing Nagy didn't. If you wanna ding him or eberflus for the missed assignments and general confusion operating the offense, we did have too many of those (although they did go down noticeably when claypool was cut.) But most of the complaints about him are just generic fan chatter with a touch of fields cope. I could go to 25 different teams' forums right now and find the same complaints that are either so vague that it's impossible to avoid (you're either "too predictable" or "calling plays that don't make sense for the situation" but it's impossible to dodge both at the same time) or just straight up asking for things that won't work consistently in the NFL or their personnel can't execute. And every time a short yardage call fails anywhere in the NFL, a fan complains about how stupid it was to run inside/run outside/pass and obviously they just needed to run inside/run outside/pass instead. We've absolutely run different game plans and schemes this season at different times to try to adjust for the defenses we were facing. The Denver, Minnesota and Cleveland game plans were noticeably different from each other. The Bagent game plans were visibly different from the fields.game plans. Offensive coaches will keep being run out of town as idiots until we get an actually good QB.

Someday, hopefully in the near future, this fanbase is going to have its "ive been dating an old woman!" moment with fields. In what everyone swore would be his make-or-break, no-excuses season, fields is again averaging under 200 passing yards a game while his running production, the only thing he's actually good at, has declined dramatically. And yet still a significant (but thankfully finally shrinking) chunk of the fanbase is constantly trying to theorycraft scenarios where we run him back for a fourth year instead of simply drafting the consensus best qb prospect in several years.

Williams is better at getting the ball out quickly than Maye is

OCs are definitely more impactful than QBs, that's why the best ones get $50m a year and are remembered for decades while QBs fade into obscurity

I'm a little scared to ask why, because a lot of fans have weird ideas about what kind of QBs Fields, Maye and Williams are.

"Trust" is a strong word. I'm not overly terrified of giving them one.

Fields scoring reports in college had him read to filth. Bears fans had this narrative that he was a generational 1b to Lawrence who only fell because racist NFL has believed some random hatchet job about his work ethic. But the reasons he fell, and the reasons he's failed in the NFL, were all right there. Constant references to struggling with blitzes and pressure, slow operation and slow processing.

Welcome aboard

These last three games are fields' chance to ball out and show that he's still our QB for the future.

I hate defensive-focused team-building so much. At the end of games there will be passing scrambles and you need the QB who can make those drives. We had one offensive touchdown drive in the entire game, it went two yards and we needed about six defensive penalties to get them.

The browns final drive got into field goal range after a long gain when we blitzed on 3rd and 15

I'm gonna dip before bukie shows up looking for someone to yell at

I'm not worried because our above-average franchise QB now gets the ball in his hands with 3 minutes to go in a tied game. Easy win.

He has a knack for making vision-side sacks look blind side by never reacting.

I'm ok with that. Helps our playoff chances and they still have some cushion on the 10A.1-1

sweats gonna get 10 as a Bear this season

No problem with going for it, no problem with the play call, no problem with Fields reading it as a keep. Just a good play.

It's insane how much he absolutely does not get those calls.
