Sounds so damn familiar, they’re going to ruin that poor kid.  He deserves so much better.  
 

I’m so happy and grateful where Sammy landed, wish Justin had the same opportunity.

Nagy should be fired if the Bears don’t have a rebound week. Also, their OC needs to call plays. Not Nagy. If he doesn’t give up playcalling immediately he needs to go.

this was most of the game offensively. 5 man protection with no chipping or help from the TE or RB. Kid is getting killed in 2 seconds and no WR has won their route. Dalton back there doesn’t help. If the ball comes out any sooner no WR is ready and it likely leads to a muffed catch that turns into an INT. 
 

If you spend the whole game calling plays like this it doesn’t matter who the QB is when the line is getting abused like that. 

That's actually a great example of my point about his delivery being slow. Watch when he makes the quick and correct read, the quick slant is there. Watch how long it takes him to get the ball out of his hand. By the time the ball gets there the defender has read the throw and jumps in from behind the WR to knock the ball down. As I said in my post, yes the play calling was bad and WRs were not wide open but there were times when completions were there and they got batted down. That's why Andy gets more completions in the same offense. He has to get the ball out quicker or that will continue to happen.

That gameplan though!

Did the decision to trade/draft Fields come from above and not Nagy?  Is he trying to sabotage so he can move ahead with Dalton and no bad press?

Right now he is creating a blueprint on how to ruin a top qb draft pick

In two years we can pick him up for a third and a fifth....  GENIUS.

I don’t think it’s fair to judge a QB in his first few years. Yes there have been plenty of qbs that were great out of the gate but there were also lots that took years to develop. Chicago hasn’t done a great job of developing QBs and in my opinion don’t have a good offense around him. He also has a lot to learn because the Ohio state offense is pretty simple.

You have to pair a QBs talent with a great coach that can get the most out of him unless that QB is a true generational talent like Cam and even he would have been better with coaches that knew what they were doing.

We have seen that first hand with Darnold. 

I dont remember many QBs looking that bad in their first start and go on to be a true franchise guy though.

The worst team for a rookie quarterback to debut is a toss up between the Bears and Jets. If you're piling on Fields after months of screaming Adam Gase's name you're a hypocrite.

I'm not piling on Fields.  It just confirms what I've been saying since May.

We were told  over and over that reclamation projects almost never work .  Sam is who is, they said.  He's a turn over machine, a bad QB.... a bad decision maker.  When Sam is gone, Rhule will have one more QB and then he will be gone, they said.

Last week we scored more points without CMC than with him and the OL had its worst performance of the season.  Sam was good, 304 yards, no ints and  2 rushing tds.   

Now, again,  a lot chips are on Darnold for Sunday, on the road.  No CMC.  No Horn.  The D will not be as strong and the crutch is gone.   He's got a rookie running back who can't catch and an OL that looked REAL bad last game and is down a starter.

If we win and Sam does well, and it still doesn't convince people he's a good QB,  well that says a lot more about them, than it does about Sam.

Yes Rookies will make mistakes. Wilson has struggled but stil made plays with a terrible offensive line.  Lawrence has made several mistakes but he is still making plays and showing he's learning under a rookie curve. Fields had 1 yard passing and is clearly overwhelmed.   

Some want to defend that he has a poor oline and they do. Darnold does not have a great o-line and has us at 3-0.  I don't think we would be 3-0 if we had Fields running the show here.

The Horn selection is looking more and more as the right choice.

Lot of y’all are showing you don’t know poo about football

 

Its easy for them to make assumptions off of a few highlights. They didn't watch the actual game. Matt Nagy never put Justin Fields in position to be successful in this game. I just listened to The QB School while driving and JT said the same thing. Justin Fields left 3 completions out there on the Field outside of the pass interference. If you give him three more completions it still changes nothing in the game. They basically said we aren't going to motion, we aren't going to protect the kid at QB and we are going to run a bunch of stop routes. Mobile QBs should have plays called where the WR keeps moving. They should have called designed runs. They damn sure should have had more than 5 people blocking but on 13 of his 20 pass attempts there was no blocking TE and no running back to help chip or block. They let the line get torn up and made no changes. There is 0 reason why anyone would think Jason Peters at 39 is blocking Myles G. After sack 2 he should be getting doubled. Or sack 3? Maybe 4? Dude got to 4.5 sacks without getting double teamed once. 

It was an embarrassment and they don't even do stuff like this with Andy Dalton. Dalton regularly gets a 6th blocker. It felt like Nagy just assumed that Fields speed was going to get him away from every defender. There are 0 QBs in the NFL right now that would have had success with the offensive gameplay and adjustments that were made yesterday. This is worse than the stuff that Gase would do. Nagy should be fired.

Look at Darnold perform with decent coaches and good talent around him.

Aikmen has always stood out to me. 

First 4 games he was:

37 of 85 for 44% completions

515 yards

1 TD

6 INT

Only had 2 games the whole year over 60% completions. 

Most recently, Josh Allens first start:

6 of 15 for 40% completions, 0 TDS and 0 INTs. 74 yards passing. 

6 of 20 for 30% completions, 0 TDS and 0 INTs. 68 yards passing was Justin Fields. Very similar to Allen. The difference is Allen has a far superior coach than Nagy.

It really seemed like sabotage and that’s not hyperbole. Like ownership or the GM wanted Fields and Nagy didn’t and he wanted to put him in this spot to somehow prove a point or some poo. It makes absolutely no sense what Nagy did. It was disgraceful. If I’m the bears ownership he doesn’t get a second chance. He’s done and I’m sitting fields for the rest of the season and starting my coaching search to find who can get the best out of this insanely talented qb that we traded up to get.

    • I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
    • Ulcerative Colitis is not CTE. 
    • Last year Thielen had 615 yards in 10 games (had more ypg than his 1k season in 23).  XL had 497 in 16 games with tons of drops and Coker had 478 in 11. They also only had only 192 of our 518 targets to get those numbers. So if Thielen has 1,000 yards again, XL and Coker each improve to say 600 yards each, and T-Mac comes in at 800 yards, you're going to say that's not good enough?  Especially if he ends up with close to, if not getting to, double digit TD's like I think he will, as he's going to be a red zone monster for Bryce? Because if that's the breakdown of just the Top 4 and Bryce plays all 17 games, he's going to be pushing a 4,000 yard season as the TEs, RBs, and other WRs will probably add up to 750-1k yards as well, and I think that would be far more than anyone here could be expecting of him this season. Last year the Giants only had 2 players with more than 331 yards besides Nabers and they were 699 and 573 while Nabers "only" had 1,200 yards (granted in 15 games).  While the Jags second leading receiving was a TE with 411 yards and BTJ also "only" had 1,282 but in all 17 games. Odunze couldn't get there (734 in 17 games) with Moore and Allen there, just as McConkey was able to get there because his competition for targets was Quentin Johnson (711 yards), Josh Palmer (584), and Will Dissly (481) who I think Thielen, XL, and Coker are all better than any of them. If everyone stays healthy and XL/Coker have improved, I think Bryce is going to spread the ball around rather than focus on T-Mac in a way that most of the 1k rookies have been able to get. Again I point to MHJ and the Cardinals last year. They had 3,859 yards receiving.   McBride had 1,146, MHJ had 885, then their 3rd and 4th in rec yards were 548 and 414. Take the 146 and 85 that McBride/MHJ had over my example for our guys and give them to the other two and they get to 7 yards shy of the 1,200 combined yards I'm using for XL/Coker, while the rest of the team added up to 866 yards. So, if you expect T-Mac to get to 1k, where are you taking those yards from? if anything, XL and Coker each getting 600 yards seems like a low projection, so they wouldn't come from there. Maybe they come from Thielen now that we have T-Mac as the true #1.  But I think if anything, having T-Mac draw attention will just make it easier for Thielen to get open and him and Bryce have great chemistry already, he's not going to stop throwing his way if he can pick up easy chunks of yards there. So maybe they come from the RBs, TEs, other WRs, but it's I think a very fair example to show why expecting 1,000 yards if everyone stays healthy isn't necessarily fair to him. It's also why I said I'd then expect at least 1,200 yards in 2026, as once Thielen leave and all 3 of T-Mac/XL/Coker get better, they absorb that 1,000 yards Thielen leaves behind with T-Mac probably taking close to half of it and the other two splitting up the other half.
