It's doubtful I'm gonna watch. I think I've had enough this year.

I play in a money league and I watch games based on that at this point.  I’m playing the Titans D (intentionally pick up who we play at this point) and I’m going to gamble on big arm Levis chucking it to Nuk in my flex

Plus this should be a game changer week if we lose.  You can’t lose to the Bagent Bears and Levis Titans in a 3 week span given how this has gone and nothing happen.

That’s also Geno and Jimmy G

Surtain - Mahomes 2x every year, Herbert 2x every year, Allen, Burrow, Lawerence, Dak, Hurts, Tua, etc,  and those elite QBs are throwing to elite weapons.  That’s what has made his job significantly tougher.   

Horn suited up against a grand total of 1 elite QB for a full game and it was over in the first quarter with them not even having to try to throw because Joe Mixon had the best game of his career and a field day.   Horn flat out hasn’t had to defend elite QB play like Surtain.  Maybe he is better.  Who knows.  He is good when he has played.   Surtain’s competition has just been different and much tougher. 

I mean, Jaycee Horn could shutdown a prime Megatron to 0 yards if I was QB.  QB play is relevant to the convo and Horn hasn’t seen it. 

That's somewhat of a different discussion. It's at least a nuance. I will concede that QB play makes a difference. How much? I don't know. I mean, regardless of who the pass is coming from and you stop it, you still stopped it. That being said, who's better is at least arguable.

Yep. I wanted Slater, Fields or Surtain over Horn. I love Jaycee but it was a mistake to have drafted him. I guess not as big of a mistake as Fields. 

I flat out thought we'd pick Fields with an off chance of it being Slater. But I thought Fields was it, even though we had heard rumors of Horn. It should've been Fields though. I'll die on that hill, even though Fields has been up and down.  I think that he's displayed enough upside to land rightful criticism upon Fitt and company.

Oh, Fields clearly should've been the pick. It would've probably turned out the same as it has in Chicago but the talent was very obvious.

I hope Chicago moves on from him. I'm ready to find out if a different situation can resurrect his career. It just ain't happening in Chicago. Time for them to ruin another one. Please don't let it be Drake Maye. Ruining QBs is just what the Bears do.

Time table wise, if Fields flopped here….we could at look the 2024 QBs.  

and just think of all the assets between that draft year to today we lost for a QB.   Fields fell in our lap.  That’s why you take him given what we were.  It was the smart front office play.

I think Fields has definitely shown himself to be a bust with little NFL future but there is at least something to be said for dying on the hill of gambling on a QB.

Taking a player in a position that was far from a need and arguably not even the best CB at the time was just foolish. 

Not that any of us could have figured why Horn would end up being a bust. Such a sad scenario all around.

I don't understand your love affair with Fields...

 

The pick should have been Miccah Parsons

Love affair? Hell, I'm saying Chicago should move on from him. Hardly a love affair. 😂

He has a high level of talent. That's obvious. He just hasn't been at all consistent. As a fan of football, I'm curious to see if a change of scenery can fix that.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
