Just accept it: we fuged up by not drafting him.

Ehhh I don't see it as a HUGE screw up. If he can eventually develop as a QB who is a threat to throw as well then yes but right now I wouldn't be too impressed if we had him. Perhaps I was just spoilee with our running QB (Cam) who in his prime could throw as well.

His passer rating is kind of a pedestrian 85. Cam's career passer rating is 85.2

What @Davidson Deac IIis sharing is pretty significant. I get that Fields can run, and he is elite when it comes to it... but what he is lacking is the most important thing that someone in his position needs. Fields is not a good passer right now.  Yes, he would be elite if he could improve in passing.... but right now.. he is horrid when it comes to passing the football and bc he can run so well.... does not mean he should get a free pass.

You say horrid but he’s not just getting rushing touchdowns. He’s getting passing touchdowns as well. Putting the ball in the end zone is the most important goal for an offense and he’s been on fire lately. Scoring both on the ground and in the air. Passing touchdown in 6 straight games. 7 passing touchdowns in the last 3. 
 

After a rough start to the year he’s borderline top 15 in touchdown passes for the season and top 15 for rushing TDs.

he is averaging under 6 yards per throw, and less than 160 yards per game.... he has thrown 12 TDs to 7 INTs....  

 

Thats pretty bad... slap that on any other QB... are you goign to defend those numbers?

Eventually, he will need to learn to get the ball out quicker.  If he can do that, and be accurate, he could be very good.  If not, his path will be more difficult.

If a QB was as young as he is, playing with the talent he is and thrown 7 TDs in his last three games I’d absolutely defend him.

a few posts ago you said they were only one WR and a olineman away from being a top offense... I am confused now.... 

 

The one thing Im certain about is that Fields is just not a good passer.... yet.

Correct. Fields IS their offense currently. A few changes to that and then the guys that are there are in much better positions to excel in the offense and take pressure off of him and he won’t need to run anywhere near as much. Look at the past four games… he’s superheroing the team to 30 points a game. One more lineman to the already young core they have, and one true #1 WR and that’s a very good looking offense.

you are forgetting the main issue... Fields struggles to read the field and throw the ball. He is similiar to Darnold on reading the field. However, he can bail himself out with his feet. I am not sure if you are able to watch every play from the Bears games... but Fields struggles to get the ball out quick and tends to hold onto it. It is a big issue with him.  The stats are solid but the on field play would be horrendous if he wasnt running as well as he is. This isnt hate on the guy.... its just that he cant see the field.

He's a Levis guy, not putting much faith in his current QB evaluations

I literally watch every single play of the Bears last year and this year.

Levis is a less explosive Fields but I can see why he would respect that talent. But then it confuses me more for him to be on the Levis train and so easily dismiss Fields.

    • Bad news is Bryce will actually get use a middle of the round pick (9-8) missing any chance to get a QB. Honestly though I think Tep would be ok with that and see it as a reason to resign him. After all that’s the most success Tep can muster in 10 years.
    • Yes.   It's been widely reported Aaron Glenn is an egomaniac and only wants staff who will not challenge him or tip the scales of power in any direction but his.   I'm guessing that has to be one of, if not, the most toxic environments across the four major sport leagues in America.
    • Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.  I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that would endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either. Trubisky, Minshew, Pickett, Kyle Allen (yes same one).
