Wentz understood offensive schemes much better. Fields is basically at the Trubisky level of understanding right now.

The key to helping JF is better pass pro and better route design.

I was very happy the Bears got Fields but after last year the hope is greatly diminished.

He's got a lot of work to do to get to be a franchise player. He needs to make a huge leap to be competitive.

Rodgers coming back to the Pack makes it harder as well to win the NFC north as well.

Getsy and Janocko will be a big part of Fields development and success as a "franchise player. " We saw what happened to Fields under Nagy.

His mechanics were one of the things that stood out to me when I watched highlights of him for the first time. You can't have a slow release and slow processing speed, otherwise you are going to get killed. At least one of those things need to change coming into next season.

in his setup his hand is below his elbow. That motion takes a bit longer to release, but it also puts the ball in a risky spot "because pass rushers can swipe at the ball causing a fumble."
Bingo! This is the number 1 reason he MUST change his throwing motion. No ifs, ands or buts about it. That's the reason he was tied for, or near the top for most fumbles. In only 10 games!!! If he doesn't correct his delivery the fumbles WILL continue. I've already given him a nickname of JF3. Which stands for......Justin "Fumble Fingers" Fields. I truly hope that I can recant this nickname in the near future.

This will be something they work on for his entire career probably. Does it really need to be fixed? It ain't broken. But improvements can be made. This goes for basically every QB.

Interesting. I've heard talks about this before?




Mechanics sounds like something that can be fixed to me.

As long as his mental processing is faster that Trubisky's, I wouldn't be overly concerned at this point.

But the routes were slow developing and the OL was bad at pass pro.

I think someone mentioned it briefly in another article over the weekend.

My take: I wouldn't sacrifice a guys arm talent in order to improve his release by a few milliseconds. How about just doing a better job protecting him, give him more weapons to work with and a real American offensive system?

These "unnamed execs" love to nit pick and have opposing teams running around in circles.
Yes the same ones that said he was not a hard worker etc. He will be fine and agree with your comments.
