I did not make any determinations. What in the **** are you talking about? I literally stated it's too early to tell anything.
Holy shit.
Holy shit.

It was easy to get over excited in last weeks first half... I did. We had a good shot at a road win over GB.
That said if you re-watch it wasn’t impressive short of a few fantastic defensive plays.
10 points in the first half on O when GB could do nothing. Tons of underneath stuff without forcing any fear of down field. Missed reads and poor adjustments when GB adjusted.
Hell...Kiser marched them right down the field... could have easily been 10-7 at the half if not for Mack’s strip sack.
The team is better than last year but in context week one was unimpressive short of Mack.
I’m more than willing to let this pan out over the season but call me unimpressed at this point. If we really are what in our hearts we want to be then we should thoroughly handle a very depleated Seahawks team at home.
Just because someone really wants this team to be last years Rams doesn’t make it so...
Trust me... this is coming from someone who wants that to be true. I am a MONSTER Bears fan!

My favorite teams
I'm not arguing with you. He obviously looked like he wasn't ready for a primetime game in Lambeau once his scripted plays were over with in the first half. He needs a lot more in game experience.

I think the "game experience" aspect cannot be stated enough. This is a guy that came into the NFL almost as raw as you could possibly get. He NEEDS the reps, more-so than most QBs that come out of college.
Unfortunately, I don't think last year helped him much outside of just getting those snaps and feeling what the NFL environment is like.. but Fox and co may have even set him back a bit.
After this season, the picture will be a lot clearer one way or another.

Well said. Is anyone else worried that last year under Fox/Gnome boy might have hurt his development?

"We"?
Didn't know we had a living, breathing member of the Chicago Bears football team on this forum!
What number do you wear on Sundays? (Sometimes Mondays and Thursdays)

My mistake. I thought maybe a certain discord of delinquents e-peer pressured you into completely changing who you are and what you believe, again.

I guess you didn’t see the last sentence that clearly stated I’m a fan... of course I assume you were being intentionally obtuse,
You don’t seem to be literally so...

Only meatballs use "we" when talking about their favorite sports team. It's incredibly cringeworthy.

Yep. They wanted him to be so anti-cutler that they removed all risk from the equation.

I wonder if they forced him to watch Cutler tapes as examples of how not to be a QB.
Shit, i would...

I’m all for protecting the ball, just not to the point of taking losses.
