Metal Man Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 My cousin lives in Chicago. Last weekend he left two tickets to a Bears game on his dashboard after parking downtown but later when he got back he noticed someone had broken into his car and left him two more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jethro_tull Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 The Bears did not develop Fields very well in his previous two seasons. They hampered his development with conservative play calling shackles during the last two seasons. This might be justified since he only had 1-1/2 years of college start under his belt, which may beg the question why did they draft him in the first place. They definitely should have been in trial by fire mode last season and jut let him fly. As a result he is gun shy and scared at this point. He may not have been a franchise QB at this stage but it seems like it isn't all his fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be under the age of 35 because if you weren't, you would have heard of the 1985 Bears. Yes their d was what got them the Superbowl, but Ditka was not stupid.

clearwater cadet Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I remember I was thrilled when Chicago jumped a head of the pats and drafted him, I remember thinking what if this guy falls to New England.

mjt328 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Year 3 is the big one for quarterbacks. You can usually make a pretty strong assessment by that point. Justin Fields showed some promise last year, but almost entirely on the ground. This is the time he needs to show his development as a passer. It's not been a good start.

Agree. The problem is they are asking him to drop back, read the full field and throw. I don't know how anyone who watched him at Ohio State ever thought that was the way to have success with him early in his NFL career. I still say the 49ers should have drafted Fields not Lance. He'd have been better there and he'd have been better for them than Lance was. He plays robotic because he is robotic.... put him in a robotic style where it is process 1 decision and throw. 3 minutes ago, FrenchConnection said: Peterman has made 6.6 million dollars playing football.

He's not a great passer. He's an exceptional threat as a running QB that can complete a big pass play here and there. I don't see him having a long career playing the style they want him to.

Those guys had fire, Fields is dainty. It's not a generational thing, necessarily. You also wouldn't hear it from Allen, Mahomes, Burrow, etc. In all cases, those guys have not only fire, but talent, as well as quality players and coaches to support them. Fields' talent is questionable; the quality of the team around him is dubious at best. Fields' existential tweet suggests that he's not confident in himself or his team, so he's just happy having had the opportunity to play at the NFL level. It's easy to say that knowing that you're financially set for life, even if you never get another contract. And he most certainly will get another contract - if nothing else, as a backup somewhere. I could see him moving three hours north and backing up Jordan Love. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great college quarterback.. didn't see a great transition.. though I could see why coaches would want to mold him And I always thought tua had talent One can't read a defense and the other processes super quick with great accuracy Fields is big strong fast with a cannon.. missing a lot of other stuff Tua doesn't have the physical side of fields.. the size speed or Cannon But he does everything a pro quarterback needs to do really well Edited September 27, 2023 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
