If this was a first round pick’s 1st start, we’d say this was impressive

I can’t stress enough that this is Tyson Bagent’s first career start.

He’s a Division 2 undrafted rookie quarterback.

I’m seeing poise.
I’m seeing him keep his eyes downfield.
I’m seeing him play smart and protecting the football.
I’m seeing him evaluating the field and going the right way.
I’m seeing him escape pressure.


If a #1 overall pick was having a first career start like this, we’d say they were impressive.


I don’t know where this all ends up, probably nowhere. But the man deserves props in his first career start.

Good by Fields .

 

[bearsfan1977]

You don’t have the most passing TDs in NCAA history (albeit Div II) and not have some talent.

He looks very good.

 

[Noonthirtyjoe]

Great start. Kid is smart and mature.

 

[Rush]

I agree with every post in the thread so far. I still want Flus fired and us to keep a top draft pick but fuck it feels good to have some level of poise strung together. Been a big Fields fan but the inconsistency kills.

If This Were a first round picks first start, I would say we drafted the next Chad Pennington given the lack of arm. But everything else looks actually pretty amazing

Yes. Timing was everything. Home game vs a bad defense on a nice day and a defense playing well.

 

[IBleedBearsBlood]

This whole time, who knew we had to draft Divison 2 QBs and not division 1!!!

Obviously we need to see more, but he played his part perfect today.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

One thing that I want to stress that I think will go very underreported and unnoticed. And this is super impressive. They gave this kid the backup quarterback plan to eke out a win. Hit the dump offs and his first reads. They kept it simple for him. But the kid decided no, I'm not that guy. He took it upon himself to actually make more than one read and even scan the entire field by the end of the game and still was able in the plays where he was supposed to go to his primary read and got the ball to his primary read on time even after making all of the reads. And then on top of it when gets even made a really bad call, he changed the line protections twice during the game at the line of scrimmage.

I just wish he had a much better arm but it's really impressive what he did.

probably more average defense - 11th yards allowed, 19th scoring.
If Fields had a thimbleful of Bagent's inherent QB skills and moxy, he'd be dangerous.

 

[Zvbxrpl]

Can he throw it beyond 15-20 yards? Or is it just ducks like last week and several times in preseason? Putting Peter Pan in for the Hail Mary play was pretty damned telling.

If the bears took a qb who couldn’t do that/they couldn’t trust to do that in the 1st round, everybody should be fired.

The kid played a nice game against a team that didn’t adjust at halftime. I look forward to see what he does against the chargers if fields is still out.

Congrats to bag boy for riding the defenses coattails on his way to 162 yards at a 5.6 average! VERY IMPRESSIVE!

Its 2005 all over again.

who was pennington's little WR who used to get the crap hit out of him, little white dude who would catch everything

 

[Zvbxrpl]

Wayne Chrebet?

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

No idea but I can't think of a little white dude getting the crap knocked out of him catching balls without thinking of Tom waddle LOL

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

One thing is for certain, this kid is going to be the news all over the NFL after this game.

 

[DC]

Wayne Cherbet?

 

[DanielCCSBears]

What I'm seeing is the typical Bears fan reaction to average QB play.

If you're excited about this game if you're mad about this game both sides of that opinion realize how bad Justin Fields is.

The one sidev sees how bad he is and is ready to move on from him.

The other side is looking for ways to tear down Bagent because they are insecure about how bad Justin Fields actually is and not ready to deal in the reality of Justin Fields.

 

[mecha]

it was enjoyable watching a competent offensive performance by the Bears.

it was still against a horrible Raiders team. they'll still lose a lot more games this year. Bagent shouldn't be crowned for doing what he's paid to do. changes may or may not happen when the season's over.

my main takeaways were letting Montgomery go has been cemented further as the right choice and the Bears are at least winning against shit teams I guess. this one game doesn't make them world beaters.

JF1 is going to make a great kick returner for this squad next season.
