Anything possible, but I don't think we have to worry about that.

In our lifetimes the Chicago Bears have NEVER produced a superstar/franchise quarterback. Just take a look at their history since the superbowl era began in 1966.

In our lifetimes, the OHiO State Buckeyes have NEVER produced a superstar/franchise quarterback. 

The coach/gm combo of Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace doesn't send the proverbial chills up my spine. If Fields doesn't become a baller, both of those guys will be out of a job by 2025...possibly sooner.

If history shows us anything, Fields went to a franchise where QB go to die.  If ...or more likely when...Nagy and Pace are fired Fields will be shown the door for Chicago's next "franchise" QB to repeat the cycle.

 

PS...I actually want Fields to succeed in Chicago. It'd be nice to see Chicago finally draft a good QB. I just hope he's less successful than Sam Darnold or whoever the Panthers have behind center while he's playing there.

 

 

 

Sadly, this has been the truth.  I like Fields, and I was wondering if he was going to fall into the 49ers job.  In Chicago, like you, I would not be surprised to see him just flounder around.

That's the problem with being a QB drafted high in the first round.....opportunities like the 49ers situation are rare.  More likely than not, you wind up as a Jet, or until proven otherwise, a Jag, or a Lion, or one of a few other dead ends.  Is it them, or is it the team they started with, or is it just bad coaching?  Very often, we never know.

I've said this a number of times, but if Tom Brady had been drafted by Cleveland, he would have been out of the league after a couple of years and nobody would remember who he is unless he happened to catch somebody's eye (like Hoodie) while in the spiral of futility.

Somebody mentioned that good QBs do not throw more interceptions than TDs.  Once upon a time, a QB broke into the league with Tampa during one of their several stints of being awful.  In his two years there, he threw 11 TDs and 21 interceptions.  He then went elsewhere and threw 221 TDs and 86 interceptions for the rest of his career.  There really are some teams that are such train wrecks, they could have killed Montana's, Elway's, Brady's, or Rodger's careers. 

I don't know if Darnold will be good, bad, or mediocre.  I do think if he has a chance of being good, his odds are a lot better here than they were with the Jets (provided we get some friggin OL help, today would be a good time).  It would be completely in character or the Jets to stifle Wilson's chances.

Peyton Manning threw more picks than TDs when he entered the league.    

only time Sam did it....the Jets org was  in full blown tank mode.  I don’t really put much stock in that last season.  I generally look at year 2 for Darnold.

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Its too late for that.  Time has run out.  You dont give him a ext if he plays "decent".  He played "decent" at the end of last year and look what happened.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By woahfraze · Posted

      I’m not necessarily advocating sticking with Bryce. His highs show the ability is there, but there’s enough bad film out there to doubt that he can consistently enough play at a high enough level. But this video from Brett Kollman is a pretty good argument to give it a bit more time, whether that be rolling with Bryce just next year or picking up his 5th year option (not extending him).      The gist is that the structural (wider hashes) and rule (3 yd vs 1 yd thresholds for intelligible offensive lineman downfield penalties) differences in the college and NFL have led to wildly different play calling and scheme diets in college. There is much more shotgun and RPO calls in college and screen/quick throws. This simply doesn’t set up young QBs to be able to play under center, which is more preferred in the NFL due to RBs being able to more effectively run out of that formation.  They don’t know how to do it and have to learn. Yes, the NFL has trended more toward college style offense in the last decade or so, but it isn’t that pronounced and is more out of necessity than desire. And on top of all that, they ask the young QBs to do all this learning with coaching and other personnel churn going on around them.  Bad results lead to coaches getting fired and new ones with different ideas on scheme and footwork and different terminology and playbooks coming in. It makes it harder on those young QBs to learn.     So we may drop Bryce for a young QB starter in the draft and be in a similar situation. With a QB who is going to take years to learn how to operate in an NFL style offense and will struggle along the way.  So you have to weigh whether the struggles we see from Bryce are more due to this learning process vs solely physical limitations on his part. It’s almost undoubtedly a bit of both, but the answer to that question I think dictates your strategy at QB over the next few years. And of course, you have to consider what the alternatives available are.    I’m neither a Bryce hater or a Bryce Stan and I don’t have an answer to that question. But I do fear that if we move on from him, unless it’s for an established player, we’re just in for continued frustration on the QB front because it’s going to take a few years for a college QB to develop (Drake Maye’s don’t grow on trees).
