This loss is on the receivers, not Sam.

It's also fair to question for now the ability of the coaching staff to identify a QB. That hasn't been settled yet at all

Remember, though...

They wanted Watson, all that BS occurred.

They wanted Stafford, he WISELY went elsewhere

They did not want to risk losing out on any QB as it wasn't guaranteed that Fields would drop..

...so they chose Sam.

 

It is what it is.

Yea you right that's true. Darnold was option 3

The Bears have to fire Nagy. He's every bit as bad as Gase ever was.

Fair.  But a part of me thinks that good/great qb's can overcome bad coaching.  Watson, Cam, Stafford, Ryan...... are a few examples of this.

But yeah its early for him and I hope it works out because he seems like a good kid

I wouldn't put him or any rookie behind this OL. So if it was me he'd be sitting which is something they should be doing anyway if you don't have poo to go with them.

Agreed. It's better to have a bridge QB like Darnold taking these shots. He doesn't have a future here as a starter, so he can do what he does while we build a better team around him. We basically only have him through 2022 anyway and he will be gone.

I'd be fine with Fields sitting and learning while Darnold takes this pounding. I just think this staff believed they could fast forward the rebuild by focusing on the rest of the roster while dumpster diving at QB. It just doesn't work that way in today's NFL. They keep tweaking the rules to benefit offense to give the casual fans the high flying high scoring games they want to see. In response, you better build a roster capable of putting up points in bunches.

That'd be how i'd play it out to if I had picked Fields. I don't like starting rookie QBs anyway so I'm in the camp of having them sit and learn while we develop them and the talent around them. fug all that falling for the media pressure poo they could say what they want.

IF they fire Nagy while only giving him trubisky, dalton, and fields at QB what does that say to the rest of the league, lets see how Nagy does with a Pat Mahommes first. 

They made a HUGE trade up signed off on by Nagy to get Trubisky an Trubisky looked like a completely different QB in preseason with the Bills under a different staff. Fields is another top 10 pick identified by Nagy. Don't forget about SB winning QB Nick Foles who also looked like trash under Nagy. Very few coaches have ever gotten as many high level swings at QBs as Nagy has.

Your attempt at playing gotcha was weak as fug.

I am pretty sure both of the QBs Brady has worked with, he wanted and signed off on, just saying.

Also, everyone knows Nagy is a trash coach, I was partially joking but you get so defensive.

Momentum shift was huge on those dropped passes.  Especially robbies 2 on the same drive.  Totally different game if he catches a few of those

Totally different game if all our receivers caught a few passes.   My lord.... smh.

I'm sure he did, but what were his other choices? It just doesn't feel like we were ready or willing to make a big investment at QB. We bowed out of the Stafford talks. We bowed out of the Watson talks even before the allegations. We had obviously rules out Fields and Mac Jones. I just think this staff felt like they could find a serviceable answer at QB without making a big investment and now they're seeing what you're likely to get with second tier vets.

    • I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo. 
    • Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
