Fields stat sheet shows over 120 yards and 2 tds…on two passes with a total of like 3 air yards.  Great blocking on both plays 

Bears gotta be thrilled though. A huge focus of theirs this off-season was getting Fields help and here he has 120+ yards and 2 TDs and hasn't had to do much of anything. You know Fields can do some amazing things. Now you wanna see some guys around him who can also do some amazing things. Success so far.

So far Stroud, Levis and Richardson struggling.  Hopefully Young proves today why he was the first overall pick. 

I wouldn't call Richardson struggling. So far so good I'd say. He looks like he belongs. That's what you're looking for in a first preseason game for a raw athletic prospect. Stroud's INT was awful but he played so little I don't know what to make of that. Levis looks as expected IMO. I just don't think he's an NFL QB.

He's a poor mans Cam at best. I don't think he will ever be as good as prime Cam. 

 

Not nearly the runner Cam was even though he's faster. Cam had actual rb skills. AR seems more of a straight line runner.

If they actually give him an OL and some weapons his potential is insanely high, just like Cam’s was. Carolina let Cam down…

Yeah, he'll probably never be as good as Cam but I think he can still be really damn good. He's boom or bust IMO. He'll either be damn good or won't sign a second contract.

They’re about to have a good year they look primed and ready. It was only a screen beautifully executed one but not the reading the field slicing em up performance but the stats look amazing and that’s excellent production.

39.2 rating.  That’s not good

Yeah.  The throw on the DJ Moore screen was awful.  DJ bailed him out big time, which he is used to doing.

He is a rookie in his first action. He started off with a bad INT, but as settled down quite a bit. He also has a dropped TD pass. Watching the game he has played decent vs what the stats are showing. 

Bingo.

Gotta remember, Cam had a 42% completion percentage in his first preseason. Then started off his career with back to back 400 yard games. I don't care about the results in preseason. I care about how the guy looks. Does he look like he belongs? Richardson looks like he belongs.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.
