The ratings is pretty different if the tight end doesn’t drop the ball in the first quarter, if the Hail Mary interception at the end of the first half is wiped off the slate because it should have been a late hit and the ball hit the ground and if you wipe of the interception on the Hail Mary at the end of the game. Fields really should have had 0 interceptions again.
Thank god you're not a GM. Bears do not and should not draft an LB.
Rated as one of the better QB draft classes top to bottom in the last 5 years and you don't like any of them? So are you just going to spend time looking for the next Jalen Carter?
Easy. Penix. If Bears trade back with the top pick and can get the Pats, for example, 2nd round pick Penix should be there at the top of the 2nd round.
They can play Fields on his rookie contract next year and then the option to franchise tag him not once but twice. OR they can exercise their 5th year option and then after that season they choose to franchise him not once but twice OR he shows out next year and you extend him. He is not that big of a detriment to the future cap space of the team. If you lose him you lose the locker room. Look at the QB play around the NFL. Injuries aside, the last few years have been the worst QB play the league has seen, especially in a time where all the rules favor the offense. Fields is currently better than a solid chunk of starting QBs and many teams would gladly sign him. The Bears have a nice roster and are in a tremendous position (draft + financially) to continue to build. They would be fools to start it all over with a rookie QB. I can only assume the people that are anti JF1 either A.) Don’t like him as a person B.) Are so jaded from decades of torture by this franchise that I understand their pessimism C.) guys who look at box scores and shout at the clouds D.) Really big fans of Caleb or Maye.
Getsy appears to be the biggest issue. Our play calling with a lead in the fourth is so frustrating.
I’d rather the Bears have Fields with a new play caller than Getsy still on the staff.
I like Kellen Moore all the way back to when he was QB at Boise State. He would definitely be an upgrade.
If only there was a way to have Eberfuls and Harbaugh together
Stupid Justin making a perfect thrown after getting out of trouble only to hit his TE in the hands.
He has his moments and I think he’s a great athlete but I don’t feel the leadership. Maybe it’s just a crappy system that doesn’t allow QB’s to thrive.
No guarantee he scores even if he makes that catch, which he absolutely should have made.
Seems like an unfair benchmark considering Brady and Mahomes are responsible for 6 out of the last 10 Super Bowl wins. There's been 57 Super Bowls, but only 34 different quarterbacks have won Super Bowls. If that is your be all, end all for a successful QB then you're setting up whoever you draft for failure from the start.
Fair it’s not 100% he scores but he has to make that catch.
Agree, I'll take anyone who can catch the ball returning kicks but Bears also got an INT two plays later so that had no effect on the game.
So the '06 Bears didn't happen in your mind? The Bears have been to 2 Super Bowls and have not had a great QB for either. Build an elite defense and just a competent offense and success will follow.
No, an appearance every 20 years with no championship for 38 years puts them with every other mediocre team in the league. I’m not impressed for a supposed storied program. I’m not even a Bears fan and I don’t understand how some can be satisfied with that.
Won't be truly elite until Virginia dies and they sell the team. While George Halas is one of the founders of the league, his daughter and grandchildren don't know how to run a football team any more than they know how to run a Dairy Queen. To be really successful you need an owner with an ego who hates to lose and wants to rub the other owners nose in his success and there'svery few of those in the NFL. It would be a small disappointment to see the franchise leave the founding family for the first time, but if someone like Jeff Bezos or Mark Cuban came in and bought the team I'd do back flips.
I’m sure the fans don’t expect a Super Bowl every year but wins make fans happy. The Bears have had 4 seasons since 2006 with more wins than losses. Winning a championship is like catching lightning in a bottle. Ask the White Sox. You’re right, management has to go as losing consistently is unacceptable.
Agree, and I think their on the right path. Poles is building the team through the draft and spending free agent money smartly and not just spending to spend because they have money.
Like that we got him, but not how we got him. 33rd pick in the draft followed by that contract was too steep. Should have waited for free agency
