I've watched the Bears for 40+ years. There's never been a QB drafted that had the combination of size, speed, arm talent, intelligence, and success at a major college program that Justin Fields had. Not even close.

I've never had more confidence in a Bears QB, and this kid hasn't even taken a practice rep yet. Fields has the potential to be that good.

Anything's possible. But as I've said before, highly-athletic, dynamic quarterbacks are much more bankable quarterbacks in the modern NFL than pocket statues and those who can't escape pressure. (I know Fields is a pocket passer, but he's no statue.)
Even QBs whose throwing abilities aren't top notch can be impact quarterbacks in today's NFL. Not going to name names, because people will spend forever arguing about it. But suffice to say that there are many in the league.
Through all of that, Fields **does** have top-notch throwing ability on top of his athletic, dynamic nature.
No one is bust-proof, but this all makes him about as bust-proof as you can get.
By the way, dynamic quarterbacks rise above their coaching, so I'm actually not that worried about Nagy/Lazor/DeFilippo messing up Fields. Greg Roman is Lamar Jackson's OC. Does anyone believe Bill O'Brien was an offensive mastermind in Houston? Did Deshaun Watson perform like a star because of offensive schemes, or because of his personal abilities?
Are Bears fans who are drinking the Kool-Aid early setting themselves up for a heartbreak? Time will tell. But it's like, damn, guys. You've waited your whole lives for the Bears to have an exciting quarterback---some of us many, many decades.
Enjoy it. Buy in. Jump in the water. Let go. And have fun. No need to be fashionably late to this party.

This is the truth. They have never drafted a prospect with anywhere near the talent and intelligence at that position in the Super Bowl era. He’s a QB, not a running QB. He uses his legs to extend drives. They’re a weapon not a crutch. This guy has a cool demeanor and is a flat out gamer too. He does go through his progressions as well.
Flip and Lazor are good with QBs and will be working more closely than Nagy on developing him. I really don’t believe Nagy is bad at it either but we have an extremely small sample size to judge working with a QB he inherited.

I think @Noonthirtyjoe wants Fields to fail.

I think Fields will make Nagy look better ... which is concerning

I'm curious how punishing the whole forum spam bumping old topics was supposed to prove anything?

If Fields is able to be successful despite Nagy’s coaching he will become the GOAT.

Why? I'm a Bears fan not a Mitch fan. I want Fields to be the man. I don't expect it but I do want it.

He never brings anything to the board. He is in the group of the loud 10 that make this board shit.

So I am enjoying watching some of you have a good cry about me not buying in early. Look I really really do want this kid to be a fran QB. I really do. I hope to be wrong.

Seems some Bear fans are never happy and just complain for complaining sake. Or they just like the attention. Fields hasn't throw one pass and already he's compared to some of the Bears QB's in the pass.
