So far, he's a running back. Hopefully he turns into a quarter back. But if he doesn't, it'll just be par for the course for us Bears fans. Just when you think they've run out of ways to torment us...

The only people that are mad about Fields' success are old, angry boomers who want Fields to play quarterback the white, I mean, the right way. Seeing this young, black dude run around making plays with his arm and legs scares them and they feel like it somehow cheapens the game.

While the NFL has been a largely black league for a while, the face of the League has almost always been a white quarterback. It's the last bastion of white comfort in sports. They're going to hold onto the notion that black quarterbacks can't read defenses and are only good at scrambling.
Steve Young on last weeks PTI: "The game has come to duel-threat quarterbacks. And dual-threat, in college, duel-threat is a runner who can throw. In the pro(s), if you're gonna be a true duel-threat quarterback, you need to be a sophisticated passer, who can run."

Bears lead the NFL in PPG the last 4 weeks. I don’t care if he’s called QB RB or FB anymore, Bears finally have a player that other teams don’t make fun of secretly. They have something special and I hope they don’t screw it up.

This times 100.

Honestly, this works out. Most of the offensive line other than Jenkins is replacement level and now that they know what Fields can do, it should increase the accuracy of the scouting on what they need for the system they are building around him.

Right - so you just ignore the line that can't pass block in obvious passing situations, and the number of times Fields hit someone in the hands with the ball and they drop it...

Do you actually WATCH the games or just read the box scores and look at the highlights?

Stick your head in the dry ice box of your local supermarket, you blubbering old white idiot.

You know your opinion sucks when the guy who doesnt watch the games asks you if you watch the games.

Yeah but when hunger is on the line, the bubblegum does nothing for you.

Also LMK when it takes 250-300 licks before reaching the gum. Thanks.
