Fields numbers needed to

[Noonthirtyjoe]

Early sure, but what kind of season must Fields have to sign him long term over starting over with rookie, cheaper, younger. Poles gets to pick himself. What kind of season makes all these questions go away. I'm a Fields fan and believer but this question will come up all season and then after to draft day. Will be the talk of Bears football around the league. OK? What keeps him here longterm???

No matter how he plays, he's certain to get a better contract than @PackerNation's boi Jordan Love.

Jordan Love's extension was in place of his rookie contract option. You think the Bears pickup Fields option?

His "extension" money was pathetic. I'd be surprised if he doesn't commit suicide after signing that, if that's how much self esteem he has.

I think if he can improve his passing to be at least average then there is a chance we see year 4 of him.. otherwise I expect for us to move up and draft his replacement. Poles didnt draft him so expect a shorter leash

Its tough to put a single number up because of how much production FIelds gets out of his legs.

Like if he rushes for 1200 yards again and throws for 3500 yards with a 100+ passer rating then thats a fantastic season (ignoring w/l because this is a limited hypothetical). If he rushes for 200 yards and throws for 3500 with an 85 passer rating then thats more or less what Mitch was doing and the Bears happily moved on. Assuming no injuries though Fields will probably need about 4k+ combined yards.

10 wins.

No doubt. One of the most exciting players in the league, face of the team and generates buzz with the fans and helps for Arlington support.

10 wins.

You are the thread winner! Congrats!@! in a few of those 10 wins it will require Justin to lead the offense to a game winning last minute drive. Bears had a few of those chances last season but failed each time to close it out.

 

[pseudonym]

I'd like to see:

3000+ passing yards
20+ tds
<50% ints (so 10 here)
800 yards rushing
6 rushing tds
Record of around 9-8

So more passing, less rushing.

The point was that how he does it doesn't matter and the team will not be rolling over this year. Stay home more but be enough of a threat to enable the running game and make big plays. i don't want him being a one man show and to take the easy stuff which opens up the deep stuff and run game even more. This team should be clicking reasonably well on both sides by the trade deadline.

3 things make qbs look bad, 1) they are 2) poor line/pressure 3) poor talent in the receiving core. We don't know yet about #1, but we do know #'s 2 & 3 were true. If we compare Fields in Year 2 to Jalen Hurts in Year 2, we see similar numbers albeit Hurts numbers were a bit better, but look at the attempts / sack.... Who believes Hurts numbers would have been better in Year 2 if that attempts / sack number was reversed? Just for shits and giggles, I also threw in Peyton Manning in Year 4.......... (note the info below should be att/sack and att / td and not the way listed)

so they're not tanking, I suspect that narrative to change around 3 weeks into the season

 

[hebs]

I’d like to see at least 3800yds passing
25+ TD tosses

8 rushing TDs

500 yards rushing

I am on board with this take

25+td passes 3,500+ yards <15 int 6 wins. That should be the baseline if the Bears are serious about him as a franchise QB. If he doesnt hit all 3 of those as a passer then it may be time to start considering other options.

Well Poles has indicated he's all in on JF.

 

[dbldrew]

Well Poles has indicated he's all in on JF.

well of course, the fact he didnt draft a QB kind of points that out for now.. key point is for now.
Poles has spent a lot of recourses to help him out, so now its up toe JF to prove he is the guy. This is a make or break year for him

Staying healthy and making smart decisions that show growth and maturity at the position.
