35

That's how many fumbles Fields has in 35 games. For those not good at math, that's 1 fumble per game.

Just for comparison to other mobile QBs:

Murray: 36 fumbles in 60 games
Hurts: 33 fumbles in 56 games
Allen: 56 fumbles in 89 games
Jackson: 52 fumbles in 82 games

Starting to seem like this is going to plague Fields for years to come. Something to consider if you want to keep Fields.

Yep. He, Getsy and Eberflus can GTFO!

Fields needs to sign a butter endorsement.

Fumbles are the number one issue with CW too.

I question JF1 decision making. like he rarely throws a 50/50 ball, he needs the receiver to be OOOOpen to pull the trigger. just frustrating to watch him continue to cough up the ball trying to do 2 much

Damn, that's worse than Dave Krieg dudes!

He's just not the guy. After the first set of scripted plays, it's clear he doesn't know what he's doing 50% of the time. Seems like a great guy with all the talent in the world, but it ain't working. Couple his flaws with an incompetent OC and HC, and this thing is about to be rebuilt yet again.

Yikes... I just looked it up. 32 fumbles for Williams.

The more I hear about this dude, the more he scares me. Starting to like the other QBs more.

One thing that bothers me about Fields is that when he decides he's running, he abandons other options. I watch other QBs in the league, and when the play breaks down, they begin to scramble, but they're still aware of guys breaking open and making the play with their arms instead. Fields seems to lock in on the run and not even notice guys who have gotten open and he misses bigger plays as a result.

CJ Stroud's TD pass to Nico Collins yesterday was a good example of that. There was nothing there, so Stroud stepped up and looked to run for the first (which he would have gotten with his legs), but once he saw Collins work to the middle of the field, he dumped it to him instead and it turned into a TD. I feel like Fields routinely misses these types of plays. Makes them sometimes, but not enough.

Maybe the Bears org should invest in an actual OLINE

He relies/falls back on what he know he's good at: running it, because that's what he's comfortable with.

Wasn't there a graphic tonight indicating that JF has the longest time to throw, on average, in the NFL? Or is that skewed b/c of his scrambling?

Well I'm just glad he learned how to throw screen passes 200x per game from watching Bagent. Really improved the Bears offense and scoring.

He's so good at throwing them, he thinks he can throw it through a defender's chest while being stared down by said defender.

More practice during the bye week ought to get him there. Keep firing, Justin.

Very little to do with the fumbles, especially when he's running it.

For example.... Between 2006-2009, Big Ben was one of the most sacked QBs in the league (189 sacks in 61 games), and in those 61 games, he fumbled it only 35 times.

Fields just can't hold onto the ball. The two he had today, the ball came out so easily.

Then the offensive game plan should include throws past the line of scrimmage instead of him running for his life every play.

My question is...when these stupid ass playcalls come in, why doesn't Fields have the STONES to call an audible? Why is he such a bitch? He's not a rookie. Fuck Getsy. He should be playing for his life. This offense is so easy that "Bag Boy" said he had it mastered already.

Pull your head out of your ass, Fields, and pull a Griese.

Very good call!.....yea...Dave Krieg could sure fumble.....lol

It’s bc he holds onto the ball too long

Incorrect. Dude literally scrambled to find Moore on the game winning drive not even a day ago. One of his best Tds this year was him scrambling to the sidelines, jumping and finding Kmet in the end zone
