They covered that, they can't control where Bosa lines up. With regards to the wet ball, Fields said he tired with and without gloves and it was hit/miss grip wise and depended on where he was on the field., some spots were a lot wetter than others. Re: The INT, he broke the play down and said he should have checked down to kmet.I wonder how much of that was protecting Braxton in his first game. Really hope there was a "reason" for it.
He gets a pass. Weather conditions… Great 49ers defense. 1st game in the system. Limited WR depth, etc.
That said, he looked bad except for scrambling playing backyard football. And that type of play is not sustainable. He just does not look comfortable going through his reads and finding open receivers. This must change if he is going to be a franchise QB.
Lance did not look worse but objectively played worse. He looked more accurate and composed than expected. Made a couple bad reads.So what are all the resident QB expert takes on Lance who looked objectively worse with a far superior supporting cast? Bust? Irredeemable? How many weeks does he get relative to Fields before he should be given up on?
Spoiler: after reading this and the other Fields thread, I don’t actually care what your trash opinion is.
Lance looked like shit., considering who he is surrounded by.

5 turnovers by Burrow and they would have won if their kicker didn't miss about 3 FGs in a row including PAT that would have ended it in regulation.Of the 17 QB's that played in the early games, only 7 had a better QB rating than Fields. So, no not great. But better than Burrows, Trubisky, Stafford, Hurts, Goff, Flacco, Lawrence, Mayfield, Ryan, and Mariotta.
Uh no.I love when posters refer to black QB’s scrambling under constant pressure as “backyard football.”
the racists just can’t help themselves
You said it yourself racistUh no.
It will be whatever it is that he didnt do that week.Interesting, last year you determined him by wins and yards but now….
I've asked this in response to multiple posters in multiple threads and haven't received a reply. I guess we'll chalk this up to more talking out of the ass, a Bears fan specialty.Would the posters who keep claiming he is missing all of these open receivers please point to all of the open receivers? thanks
I said nothing about backyard football being linked to black quarterbacks. You did. Get out of here with the race baiting prick.You said it yourself racist
Racists are just gonna be racist like the OPIt will be whatever it is that he didnt do that week.

its almost as if terrible weather conditions can affect the offense’s ability to move the ball!Wrong. He looked bad in one half. The other half he looked pretty damn good. He made plays when they needed to be made, and the dude is deadly whenever he's on the move. It's always weird how posters want to hold his strengths against him.
Exactly. I'm looking FWWatched it again. Think he was fine given the conditions. He held the ball too long but mainly because guys were not open. He actually did go thru progressions but thought issue was once no one was open he sat there instead of getting on the move.
What changed in the 2nd half is he went thru reads and then moved the pocket if nothing was there initially buying time for the big play. Playcalling in first half was also trash and I kept screaming for them to do more QB runs and move the pocket. They were ultraconservative.
Still a lot to clean up and that Int was just trash but made the plays he had to in order to win.
Bears fans need unrealistic levels of insanely good before they can feel comfortable drinking the Kool-Aid. Been teased with a good time & burned far too many times.I was impressed with his composure in the 2nd half. They just beat the 49ers... what's with the negativity??
Mustipher starting was a MAJOR detriment to the offense. Saw his guy in the backfield all too often. No push or consistent protection.He was running for his life half the damn game. Jesus.
I look FW to hearing what the coaches & film reviewers say with this in hand. It really seemed like WRs just weren't getting open in these conditions. When strong cuts are needed, how could they? Routes had to be rounded out a LOT to change directions in that slop.No it isnt out. I watched a replay and saw where he was scaning the field and did not appear guys were open.
All 22 comes out on Tuesdays.
So context doesn’t matter I guess. The conditions and field, were insanely bad. He’s playing behind a line made of kids, against a niners D that made Aaron Rodgers look pedestrian, and who could only lead his team to a paltry 10 points.He gets a pass. Weather conditions… Great 49ers defense. 1st game in the system. Limited WR depth, etc.
