I was suggesting trade for Fields this offseason. His talent is not the question. It was always about them putting a roster around him. Even with a bad roster last year he showed flashes that he can be special.

 

Bears will win the NFC North imo.

Fields is terrible outside of running highlights. Bears will finish 3rd

I wanted him pretty bad over Horn. Taking Horn over Fields might be one we don't forget.

Consider the fact that this was preseason game #2 for the Jets--that is a big difference.  Consider that their backup QB has started NFL games for two seasons and our 2 QBs have played part of one preseason game--new coaches, new system, etc.  Probably was expected if you think about it.

I also thought donte looked pretty good honestly.

He is an absolute shutdown corner... on a team's #2 or #3 receiver. 

And that's not a knock! That's a great thing to have. But so much hinges on Horn staying healthy. If we have to reshuffle the secondary, our Defense is going to look very mediocre.

The defense impressed me despite the scoreboard and vanilla game plan. Uce, Shaq, DBrown, and Kamu are all ready to go. Barno + Williams popped up a couple of times last night while Rowe, Franklin Jr, and Henderson all flashed.

The offensive line was abysmal. I'm especially disappointed in Icky's play. I'm also worried/concerned over Michael Jordan still being on the roster. There is also ZERO depth behind Icky & Moton rn so it's going to be vital to the team's success that those two remain healthy and not have bad days like the recent one.

I totally forgot they had the hall of fame game.

I don't think Fields is terrible.  You need talent in the NFL.  Especially young guys.  Fields hasn't had that in the pass game.  I'd say it's safe money his pass #'s are drastically better this year.   And that's because DJ Moore can make plays. 

People were calling Trevor a bust his rookie year.  It wasn't just Urban.  He had no WRs.  They couldn't get open.  Steve Smith could get open with me calling the plays. 

NFL is a talent driven league.  Josh Allen was meh.  Then they added Diggs.  Then he put up MVP numbers.

We shall see. Just preseason.  But that Fields + Moore connection looking very nice right now.

It honestly reminded me of exactly what we saw here the past 3 years. Not good QB play and DJ bailing them out by taking a screen 60 yards to the house. I'm so glad we got Bryce (and would do it every time), but DJ did not get enough credit here, dude is an elite WR

It’s the part of the trade I hated. I loved DJ and felt he worked with some real trash QBs here and then got blamed for not scoring enough TDs.

      The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.

      lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
