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.

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
