I definitely think Hurts is a different tier QB

But it’s hard to ignore the difference the likely best OL in the league  and likely one of the the worst if not THE worst has on the QB play.   Not to mention development.   Because Hurts has made huge growth and development behind that OL.  

 

Won't argue against that. Bears O-Line is cheeks even if Fields does himself few favors. A whole lot easier to get better behind a good line than a bad one.

I think fields hate comes from The people on this board constantly using horns injuries as the reason us taking not taking fields was dumb and set the franchise back.

we didn’t take a qb that draft, and its looking like that it wasn’t a bad call to avoid a qb. However, we will seee.

It’s also hard though to point at a QB and see him flounder somewhere and argue the same things occurs if he went to the 31 other spots.  Situations, cast, coaching and landing spots makes or breaks careers. 

I don’t think Cam Newton would have been rookie of the year with the 31 other teams.   We had 2 pro bowlers in the backfield, multiple pro bowl linemen, 2 stud TEs, and a HOF WR….AND were willing to adopt the college read option and normalize it for Cam.  All that contributed to his early success.  I think same guy could of been really bad on a weak team that wanted him to be traditional.

It is, but he also has 2 additional years of the same film with zero progression over that time period.

He very well might get better this season but I personally don't think he will as I was never high on him as a passer to begin with and was never upset we didn't draft him.

I really don't understand why you wouldn't have been high on him as a passer because he was historically accurate in college. It's really not his passing that's getting him, it's his processing. It's the same reason why he slid in the draft.

Fields didn't look very good but I am okay with letting him play out the season.  If he improves good, if not Poles did a good job giving the team options with picks in a nice QB class.  It's only one game but none of the QBs from this draft are making me regret we traded the #1 pick.  I do like the upside on Richardson though.

My brother used to say some teams are meant to be QB-less. Look at what happened to Rodgers. He used to swear that if Harrington and Carr went somewhere else they would have been successful.

Same way I think Fields would have been better if drafted by somebody else. In some weird universe twist there is a Mahomes that was drafted by the Jets and turned out terrible.

The Bengals finally broke the mold. Gotta give the Jets and Bears of the league hope.

The better protect him if they want him to last.  He looked like crap behind that OL this past week.  

The Bengals OL has been pretty bad most of his career and it got his knee blown out once before.

It's tough for any QB to look good when the OL plays truly poorly. People crying about Rodgers getting hurt ruining the Jets' season are just ignoring how atrocious that OL looked. I'm surprised Wilson didn't get hurt too. If that OL doesn't play better they're gonna go through several QBs to get through 17 games.

Maybe Stroud can break the OSU curse with NFL QBs.  It's real. 

It's real alright.  Fields will not break it. It's up to CJ Stroud now.

It's the same with USC qb's.  They look like world beaters in college and then every single one drafted into the nfl have been a bust. You would think these kids would learn the history of being drafted out of those schools and either not go or transfer out before they get cursed as well.

Stay away from OSU and USC qb's.

Was gonna say the same thing.

Yeah it's early, but it's not like we haven't seen this from Fields before.

And I know there are folks who think it would have been different if he were here, but given who was in charge at the time that's kind of a tough argument to defend.

Rhule didn't really want a rookie. And frankly he doesn't really fit the profile for the kind of quarterback Reich prefers.

The Ohio State QB curse strikes again.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
