Fields: 169 yards passing after 4 TOs by Detroit just isn't going to cut it.

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Bears
But they don't have to give up that money, yet. 5th yr option and we can surely get a 2025 first round pick with a trade down that could be used to draft a QB the next draft. None of this class including Williams, Maye etc look like a sure thing to me. I'd much rather see the Bears use the draft capital and cap space to continue to build this team. Worst case scenario, you put a rookie in a much better situation vs this Bears Groundhog Day bullshit. Best case you didn't throw the baby out with the bathwater by prematurely ejecting Fields.
Nothing's a sure thing, either way. There's times that it doesn't work out whichever way you go. If Fields doesn't work out then the next QB you draft in a couple years might not work out either. The Bears have never been in a position to draft a QB that is considered to be as good of prospects as the top 2 are this year (at least in my lifetime). Of course that doesn't mean they'll work out, and I'm by no means a scout. But to me when you're the sole franchise that doesn't have a 4k yard or 30 TD passer, you have to take every shot you have at landing a franchise QB. We've seen 2.5 seasons of Fields. From what we've seen it's not enough for me to pass up this opportunity unless you are using his legs at a high rate, which isn't sustainable IMO. If I felt you could do that long term it might alter my opinion. I get the other side of the argument, but I personally wouldn't pass up this opportunity. As far as money, if my google searches are correct, it looks like it's a pretty significant difference in affect on the cap if you pick up the 5th year option vs drafting a QB.

How long do you want to kick the can down the road until you see a qb that looks sure thing? 10 more years?

How many things will need fall your way until you're in position to take said qb?

He has an uncanny 6th sense of not being able to sense pressure in the pocket. Especially when it's a really good pass rusher on the other team in a clear one on one situation. Just drifted right into the strip-safety.
Wright gave up pressure the moment the ball was snapped, Fields wasn’t sacked all game before that

Fields wasn’t the reason the Bears lost this game, but ask yourself:

Knowing Fields limitations, what he can do and what he can’t do, is this really the guy you want your favorite team to hitch their wagon to long-term?

Fields is not a good passer overall. He just isn’t. Can you win with him? Sure, if you surround him with all great guys. But at that point, why not just try for a better QB?


You’re fighting against the grain. You see the talent. You just want it to happen so bad.

But it’s just not going to happen, guys. Make peace with it now, or you’ll be forced into accepting it later.

I don't care who plays QB if they're winning games. I do hope that whoever is making the decision on who the QB is in 2024 is not Ryan Poles, Matt Eberflus or Luke Getsy though. Those guys aren't it either. Clean house of the GM and coaching staff and let the new staff decide on what to do with the two top picks. Cool by me.

So let’s see today

Fields had a 70% completion percentage
Only sacked twice
Almost 300 yards of offense

Same few cunts are blaming him for the loss? I get that you may want another QB, I get you may think he isn’t the answer and I definitely get that some of you are trolls with no lives but common sense says this isn’t on him

Quit asking me about it and ask a mod. They know the 2 accounts are different users. They just let you guys make fools of yourself because it's funny.
Incorrect, we have no access to posters if they use a vpn or anything of that nature so we don’t know if that is or isn’t you
