pretty sure he said the opposite when he threw Getsy under the bus for keeping him in the pocket and not letting him run early in the year and has sense had more designed runs after that.
I’m talking about him just taking off and yes not utilizing his legs at all is stupid.

People still take QBR seriously?

I thought the only time people used QBR was when it supported their bad take....good to know that still hasnt changed

Also, I understand the sentiment about Caleb Williams vs. Justin Fields if the Bears have the #1 pick. I'm actually really conflicted about it. And it's not just Williams vs. Fields. It's Williams + a 2nd rounder for trading Fields vs. Fields + trading out of the #1 pick, getting more 1sts + a blue chip player about to enter his prime.

I feel like if you look at it like that, keeping Fields is definitely more appealing. But if you look at it like "Caleb Williams could be Patrick Mahomes good" then that's hard not to think about.

These next 4 games are huge. It's a shame we have Luke Getsy, though. :ROFLMAO: I'm fully expecting 1 or 2 fully clownshow gameplans for the next 4 games. Probably against Cleveland and Green Bay.
It would have been better if Justin had solved the problem on his own starting in Week 1.

apparently @dbldrew thinks he shouldn't be utilizing his legs
Which is again a stupid thought process. Fields isn’t just a QB, he is a weapon and playmaker. He scares defenders because he can take off and **** things up so to just limit what he does to “pure pocket passer” is dumb

I totally agree. But let's be honest about week 1's gameplan... 👀 But I digress.

This isn't even as much about Fields as it is about the totality of the situation, including how many years left Fields has opposed to Williams on a rookie deal. There is a lot to consider here. But if Poles thinks Williams is the next Mahomes, Fields might be as good as gone. Or he gets a year to either become a "franchise QB", or get his stock up while the rookie sits.

And if Eberflus and Getsy stay, I'd think that Fields is gonna stay, too. I don't know. It's a fun/terrible thing to think about.

First of all, that's done for dummies slow on the uptake, like yourself.

Second, QBR ratings are stupid but when they favor Fields after this or that game, your ilk is quick to point it out so... here you go.
Which is stupiderer a made up ranking system or the guy that can't count to 21 with his fingers and toes without "accidentally" caressing his dogs lower abdomen?

Supporting the Bears is a complicated recreational activity to be sure.

And this is what we want to invest in next year? He will end up somewhere around 17-21 when the year is over. This is smelling like Daniel Jones before his contract. It’s time to move on people. Fields would at best be top 15 next year. That’s just not good enough

He might be 21st in QBR but he’s first in our hearts. Suck it looser.

Also if you break the top 15 in ESPN QBR do you get a set of Ginsu steak knives or something…

Even though he has improved, statistically, I don't think his ranking among quarterbacks has moved that much from where it was coming into the year, which was probably around the 20th best quarterback.

His legs aren't nearly as dynamic as they were a year ago. It seems like every team but DET has figured out how to limit that part of his game. His biggest run all season has been 29 yards. The passing numbers have improved a bit, but the explosiveness in the run game has dropped off.

I wanted to see a more noticeable step forward in his development, but I feel like we are still kind of in the same position we were this time a year ago. Overall, he's just too inconsistent for me to trust. If it weren't for the #1 pick, I'd give him another year, but Williams is just too good of a talent for me to pass up.

I like what JF did on that 4th and 13 play. Keep this in mind.....DC's scheme for the opponents whole offense, not one player. It's the OC's (Getsy) job to make constant in-game adjustments. The OC has been too inconsistent.

idk what QBR's breakdown is...but I'll stick to the eye test....As I've said all season, the jury is out with me on JF. That being said, he's taken some steps forward and improving, what I think most of us wanted was giant strides, which haven't arrived, imo. Cutting down on the TOs and not taking unnecessary sacks, are extremely important, imo. He keeps getting better at that, last game no TOs, and 1 sack where he had the ball for 7 seconds before being sacked. I can live with the overthrows on 1st & 2nd down....3rd not so much....obviously never on 4th down. Keep the TOs at a bare minimum, know when to throw it away and I say keep JF and trade the 1st pick for more picks to bring in more pieces to the puzzle. We need JF to 'lead the team to victories' NOT effing build his own personal stats.
