There are INT’s and fumbles lost… I think Caleb had another fumble lost yesterday too. There are lots of ways of killing a team — another one is missing relatively easy touchdown passes — like the bomb he missed by 10 yards yesterday to a receiver who had broken free. He had another one of those last week too…. and has frequently had those all season. If he hits those, those boost morale and change the complexion of games. If he would have hit some of those we likely pick up quite a bit more wins this year.

Can’t just cherry pick one stat (int’s) and start crowing about Caleb. For instance, Jayden Daniel’s threw a pick yesterday with time running out and a defender right in his face. He was 1 second away from taking a sack. Instead of taking a sack, having to kick away (with little time left in the game)… he did not care about his INT stats… instead he tried to make a play, threw off his back foot while avoiding the sack… and got picked. I don’t mind that. It was either that or take the sack and basically turn the ball over. He took a chance — it was actually a fairly good pass — his bench warming wideout (a guy who would be on the practice squad of most teams) got bulldozed out the way by a defender/shoved him to the side like he was not even there — and picked the ball.

JD would later come back and win the game — his 3rd such come from behind win in the closing seconds. JD almost has more come from behind victories in the last seconds than Caleb has wins for this entire season. Long story short, in striving for greatness I want my guy playing loose, free and letting it rip. I want my guy going for the juggler/going for the W…. even if it bites him in the arse and causes him to throw an INT every now and then.

Who cares about this? We’re focusing on positive shit like the streak and @BaBaBlacksheep ‘s new grill

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Cubs
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
And this is why your argument can’t be taken seriously.
The argument is silly as if QBs want to make a living by being risky… Jayden and Nix barely make risky throws. Even more wild… throwing more risky more often somehow equals wins over time. That’s why I guess Jameis is so good.

Who said this? @Les Grossman just enjoys both streaks we are on so far

The int wasn't even his fault either. Bijon basically pitched the ball to the defender and instead of fumble they said he didn't complete the catch.

Isn’t that the narrative in a couple threads here? He’s protecting the ball too much to save a streak and we’d be winning games if he wasn’t?
Nah. I don’t think he’s purposely doing it but I do fear he might be gunshy and he’s insanely inaccurate downfield to the point nobody can make a play on the ball

Nice so all we got to hope is we aren’t down too many scores for Caleb to get his act together for the 4th QT, seems to be working so far
Baby steps. If he still hasn't figured it out by Year 3 then like Fields he can be dumped. That generally is what happens when your QB takes too long to learn shit hence why Fields is gone.

You're right. Caleb just chokes away the entire 1st half, so he can compile impressive garbage time stats in the second half.

Brilliant!!

See previous comments about when choking applies. It usually isn't the 1st half dumbass.

Stafford was 2-8 as a rookie with 13 Ints and 20 Ints. Imagine how bad you have to be to throw 20 Ints in just 10 games. Dude threw 2 Ints a game.

Goff was 0-7 as a rookie with 5 TDS and 7 ints. So an int a game.

Those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

He lives rent free in your cluttered mind though so is he really gone?

Also weren’t you a fields fanboy or did you straddle the fence like a pussy per usual🤔

I support all Bears QBs but Fields is no longer a Bears QB due to his clear flaws.

Some of you seem to confuse being a fan of the team with obsessing over specific players.

It is quite obvious you are biased against Caleb due to your Fields hero worship.

You just don't grasp the obvious.

Garbage time stats against teams playing bend but don't break.

What does Stafford and Goff have to do with it, trying to move the goal posts again?
