He has 2 sacks and a PD. As usual you have the worst takes. You have to be full of poo about ever coaching a team….

He already has 2 sacks from when the game was actually closer.

Everyone keeps saying this, but these guys are buying into the fool’s gold…

Definitely his career high. Just need to play teams where we can average 10 and 15 yards a carry with our RBs and he should be ok assuming he doesn’t have too many pass attempts.

Coming from you, that just confirmed he won’t be…

That’s the issue. People are wanting Wilks with Corral and Darnold. That actually might help us land your boy Maye though….

He has been historically one of the worst starting QBs in the league over his 4 plus years as a starter with different teams and OCs. Outside of that…. He was good last year until teams took away his first read and made him attempt to read a defense, in which he couldn’t do… He can be serviceable when our OL is letting our RBs crush the other team and his attempts are limited. Like I’ve said before as a cheap backup I’m fine with him. Rolling into next year with only Sam and Corral won’t end well.

He has 12.5 sacks on the season so far?? That’s not acceptable, but Darnold’s stats have been??

Yeah I don’t get it. We as fans should want better than Darnold, but some how it has become a thing?? He has looked good today but Foreman was averaging 10 yards a carry and Hubbard was at like 15…

Haener is solid, but looks a little undersized and already has an injury history now. I’m interested in O’Connell and need to do some research on him. He is interesting, because he his team was probably outmatched from a talent standpoint vs other Big10 schools and he is still getting some attention.

That OSU Clemson game showed me Fields had potential to be special. Even when the Clemson LB tried to take him out, he willed his team to victory while banged up. I wish he landed somewhere with a good offensive staff.

You have to account for transfers. Especially when Mullens left. They looked completely awful without AR in their bowl game. It’s why Auburn was so bad too. A bunch of players transferred out because of Harsin…

I mean when Sam got off IR he was still rolling with PJ. Then when PJ struggled he rolled with Baker, Sam was his last option. Darnold was cleared off IR on Oct 19th. Sure the 23rd would be rushing him back, but Wilks played Walker on the 30th, Walker then Baker on Nov 6th, Walker again on Nov 10th, then threw in Mayfield on the 20th because Walker was banged up, and finally started Darnold on the 27th once he eliminated Baker (from performance) and PJ as possible options. Darnold was his last option which I assume means he preferred Baker and PJ over him even when playing Baker could have changed our conditional pick we traded for him. Gameplan was pretty much the same as they all are bad starting QBs at this point. I think we are saying similar things. Fields has potential, but isn't there yet. Sam shouldn't be a starter, maybe a backup if the salary is right. Wilks is nothing special at HC, with maybe Rivera being his peak....

Definitely an alt troll account of some sort....

I don't think he even got a "D" in mathematics like he claims....

Pretty sure he went in the 3rd.........

You said he was “too short” to be a QB. You are completely wrong. You better backpedal quick because that was the easiest thing to prove wrong.

Steve Young and Joe Montana were also 6’2” and they were ok I think??

How tall is Rodgers? Lamar Jackson? Jalen Hurts? I’ve heard the MVP is between Hurts and Mahomes. Someone better tell the league a random huddler has deemed them both too short….

Yeah I saw that about them being ranked in the top 10. Probably because it’s metric based and they are good at run blocking, but as we mentioned not asked to pass block for obvious reasons? Not completely sure, PFF is hard to figure out sometimes. The funny thing is the following game against the Eagles they allowed 6 sacks and 6 extra QB hits. None of which PFF blamed Fields for… So 12 of his 27 pass attempts he was either hit or sacked. 27 is a higher passing attempt number (for Fields) but he is getting killed in the process. https://www.bleachernation.com/bears/2022/12/21/that-bears-offensive-line-is-getting-yet-another-makeover/ On top of that the OL is getting shuffled again due to injuries… Our staff definitely is bottom of the league. However I don’t know of many teams that would want Darnold stepping back and carving up defenses. He has had several OCs and has never shown he can read a defense. For what it’s worth Wilks trusted Baker and PJ over Sam. He could be a bad judge of talent, or he could see what most of the league has seen. Hell I think we were the only true bidders when he was made available by the Jets.

Rivera is a class act and great person. Coaching style aside I have nothing but respect for that man.

I think his OL is too bad at pass protection to let him pass too much. Getting drilled in the pocket is what tore Burrow’s ACL, and ended Cam’s career early. I get your point though, at some point he is going to have to pass more or he will never fully develop. Yeah they are pretty much treating Sam like a project rookie QB who needs time to develop. The issue is it’s year 5 for him and he is making dumb money. If we had a rookie out there I wouldn’t hold our game plan against him.

I don't think anyone thinks Fields is an elite passer yet. Fields hype is excitement about his potential. He has the Bear's anemic offense looking respectable (their defense is another story and he can't close out games yet). Our weakness is Sam/passing game and the Bears only strength is arguably their second year QB's explosive playmaking ability. Fields is suppose to look like this and get better as the season progresses which he is. It's really not even comparable at this point, but anyone making excuses for Darnold's lack of weapons and then claiming Fields sucks is questionable at best on their QB judgement at least to me.... For a while Fields was rolling with 2 5th round tackles and Moony as his top WR. The easiest way to tell is imagine if Fields and Darnold (who is) became FAs somehow after this season. You would have a line of teams for Fields and teams looking for a backup might consider Sam after 5 years and 2 teams of lackluster success. Honestly I have nothing against Darnold, but hearing people wanting to roll with him next season seems crazy to me unless they are only wanting him as a cheap backup (which appears to be his ceiling after 5 years). It why we are looking at drafting a QB and the Bears are looking at building around their promising young QB.

I think Stroud just lacks experience in crunch time. OSU usually handles their opponents with relative ease. He is definitely a question mark in that category…
