How the **** do you miss this? I don’t care if he’s option 4 which I do mount with the defnse they’re running. **** me.

He also had a bunch of drops but the passes were either too hard or still not in the correct position. His long throws are just like Fields they’re head level missiles mowing by ten yards. You throw those with more air and less speed and shouldn’t be missing by that much in high school let alone nfl!

I see what you did there — on the sneak tip trying to change history. But I distinctly remember Fields throwing a pretty good deep ball. Throwing to considerably less weapons too. He was never missing guys by 10 yards. For Fields, his deep ball was not the problem — it was the other stuff that he needed to work on.

Fields threw a great deep ball here and honestly was pretty damn consistently accurate.

His issues were he couldn’t read the field, and it’s looking like the rookie who was supposed to be great at it is now missing open checkdowns too. Amazing what getting your brains bashed in does to a quarterback huh

It’s been happening all season long, but too many fans and local media personalities ignore it because they don’t want to admit they were wrong about him being a generational quarterback.

WTF???
That was national media saying that and they've been saying it for years. Everyone else was just parroting them. Take it up with the right people.

Oh, and BTW, let me check my watch, yep, still his rookie year. I'm thinking you need to be checked for concussion.
Go take your ADHD prescription meth and come back in about 3 years.

im not throwing in the towel on him, either. i think he can still end up being a good QB. just throwing cold water on the notion he was elite
I kinda feel he'll be elite or a bust. Don't see much middle ground in his persona.

nah, Peyton i knew before he was ever drafted what he would be. but, i agree its a rare thing...hence why it is generational
Set a different sort of rookie INT record.;)

Like Joe Burrow?

Besides you would think that getting sacked a lot would have the opposite effect of whats happening. Like it should be speeding up his clock so he is throwing early, or running early etc.. But holding onto the ball extra long when you have a questionable OL and been eating sacks is about as dumb as you can get.

Its like someone took all the bad parts of Fields and bad parts of Trubisky and created CW..

Our "generational" turns out just like the rest, man IDK.

Don't think I could get my hopes up again.
Don't! Trust me I've been Bears fan since 1978 and seeing is believing, it should be mandatory when you're a Bears fan. You learn this over time.

Sounds like a rookie

No, sounds like a bad QB with a lot of talent who has gotten worse as the year went on.

Right now all 3 other rookie QB's are outplaying caleb, and its likely about to be 4 on sunday(Penix)

Caleb will hopefully still be great but he's been bad thus far this year and a major reason why the bears are getting behind a ton in games. I dont put that all on him, or even a majority, as he has essentially no coaching.

Every single quarterback in the NFL will have several egregious misses like this over the course of a season, but because it's a Bears QB you guys will catastrophize it as an existential crisis.

I'll just reiterate the man is on pace for a 21/6, 4,000 total yard season in a year with 2 different playcallers, 3 OC's, and a head coach being fired in the middle of a season. If this is a season where he's "struggling", I'd love to know what he looks like when he's not.

You can't take these frozen screenshots and make that reality. In real time, there may not have been a passing lane, it may have happened so fast he didn't have time to react. The OL has been, overall, bad. I'm not surprised he's been a bit shellshocked and twitchy out there.

I've found its easier to catastrophize things when you've lost 8 in a row.
