I have no doubt Fields would have sucked with Rhule coaching him. But he's better than anything we have now and likely better than the QBs we will be in position to draft given Wilks being an actual NFL coach. 

I really liked him but when he slid I assumed it was because he had flaws I didn't see. I am, after all, a terrible talent evaluator lol. I'm glad he's finding success and I hope that bears team can build around him.

It would’ve been similar to what he was drafted into with Nagy. All qb prospects have flaws. Trading for Darnold wouldn’t have stung as much if we drafted fields along with that. It was a mistake to not draft him. The ones who didn’t want him will continue to move the goalposts. Fields is on an upward trajectory and he IS their offense, the bears are gonna have a top 5-7 pick with insane amounts of cap space. This was essentially his first year and he’s doing these things already.

It’s the same thing we heard with Cam. Puts up great numbers and plays really well but he’s not winning because the team around him wasn’t very good. And fields has a worse team around him then cam did his first couple of years. There were people on this site questioning if he was actually a franchise qb (he always was from day 1) after his second season.

Cam wasn't a great passer and I have a feeling Fields won't even reach Cam level passing.

I don't want a Cam level passer drafted by the Panthers.

When Goodell said "The Panthers select J...." I was like Ustin Fields!!! But no.  No offense to Jaycee though, he's a great corner

If I was tepper I would at some point call fitt into the office and have him go over the scouting report on fields and figure out how they missed this knowing damn well we needed a guy at the time.

Fields put up good yardage numbers in college, and he was historically accurate. Cam? Not so much. So, my feeling is that he can pass, he just needs to be provided better weapons and needs a better O-line. Nagy tried to break him with all kinds of foolish regarding mechanics. Now, he has to re-learn, as the coach is allowing him to play to his strengths. Fields just needs time and weapons to put it all together. NFL types are VERY high on him as a result of the last several weeks. Hell, if he had any type of team, he'd be in MVP discussion.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
