Wonder what/if they do with Dalton/Foles and if so, will it be before season starts? To be sure they wouldn't keep paying that amount for both as back ups? I wouldn't think so anyways...

Foles wants to be traded. Bears are probably waiting to see if anyone loses a QB before cut down day to trade him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I'm of the mindset that its good for rookie QB's to sit a while. Learn, grow and develop. Many of these guys come with 1 year experience or from a program that doesn't use an NFL style playbook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they don't have long, but it's definitely possible a QB can get injured these last few days that's left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Jags OLine doesn't look to be the type of situation I would want my franchise rookie behind, at least not right away. The Jets have been trying to address theirs so Zach Wilson doesn't get lit up, and ZW has looked unrattled in pre-season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields and Lawrence, not so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that against back-ups mostly? Or a mixture? I don't know because I didn't pay but so much attention. Not sure how many teams have been sitting many starters like the Bills have. Either way the true test of how their OL holds up is yet to be seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson has started for the Jets, but I don't know if he was facing starters on defense or if he's facing rotation-guys/backups like the Bills are doing.

Well execpt maybe Chip Kelly if you consider that success. Harbaugh took that 69ers team from basement to contender so freaking fast! Too bad for him the only tool he had in the box was a hammer. If he had a little more touch and finesse he could've been great 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorin' Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) 10 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: The bears announced yesterday dalton will still start week 1, which had always been the plan. They did not hold an open competition. Fields was never going to win the job. I watched the first half of the Bears game thinking they have to start Justin Fields at qb for the sake of the team. After watching the second half, I realized they have to start Andy Dalton for the sake of Justin Fields... He needs time to develop or else he's going to get killed.
