Seven TDs and making a huge contribution to the run game with his blocking was damn solid last season.
I will be trying hard to get the Fields/Moore duo in each fantasy league this year and hopefully for many years to come.
Or you just don't like that it all makes too much sense!? We won't know that answer unless you answer honestly........so i won't expect to know.
He's such a perfect fit for the Bears but with how much value Poles has put on draft picks and building this team through the draft i can't see him trading what it would take or more than other teams will offer for Hunter.
Ok but he’s been saying it for 3 years
I am against Justin playing defensive end, fyi.
He hosts a late night show on CBS.
Are we about to have it both ways?
Two stacked teams but lets look at the WR's each had real quick.
Williams transferred to Bama after he couldn’t get many snaps at tOSU.
Wiiliams transferred from Ohio St to Bama and played in that Ohio St vs Clemson game (3 catches, 62 yds and 1 TD). Even with Etienne, who i love, Ohio St was way better at WR.
You sure?
Something tells me 49ers won't catch as much grief as the Bears did for their move for Trubisky. Pretty sure Bears got a way better return and gave up a hell of a lot less. Just need Fields to dominate like we all believe he will.
I'm gonna be right one of these times.
So why is Min so willing to trade him??
After Walter Payton's rookie year, whoever thought he would have the career he had? My thoughts are what a player is in his 3rd year, is the player he is.....if he doesn't show what he's got by then,,,,he's not going to show it...........Payton's first game was 8 carries for NO YARDS and he had around 200 by mid-season. Not the start of a HOF carrer........to add I'm a big fan of VJJ making it, along with Scott and Roshon.There has been quite a bit of anti Velus Jones rhetoric on this board. It sounds like he’s worked incredibly hard to get better but most of all comfortable in his role and knowledge of the offense.
Also, he’s been putting in the work to improve as a punt returner which was an obvious weakness last season.
He really flashed as a kick returner last season. If he blossoms this year as a punt returner and receiver, the Bears become even more difficult to defend this season. His size and speed have to be respected if he’s utilizing those tools effectively.
Here’s some highlights from a Fishbain piece on him from The Athletic:
“It really set me free when I stopped worrying about what everybody had to think about me.”
He had a 44-yard catch against the Billsin Week 16. He ran for a 42-yard touchdown against the Vikings in Week 18. And he finished third in the NFL in kickoff returns, averaging 27.59 yards per return.
“I would say it was close to the end of the season when I was still stressed out, thinking about things in the past,” he said. “But there’s nothing you can do about that. I finished the season on a high note. Had a touchdown in the last game of the season. I just told myself, ‘Have fun. Play football.’”
And…
But Jones also wants to win back that punt-return job.
During the offseason, he did the standard work of catching punts off a JUGS machine, but then he visited Bears punter Trenton Gill in North Carolina. Gill was joined by a few other NFL punters, and Jones spent days catching punts, focusing on “beating the ball to the point.”
On his last day with the punters, he caught 110 balls and dropped only two.
“Just look the ball in, beat the ball to the spot, because when I catch it, honestly,” Jones paused, before adding, “I feel like I’m the best returner in the league.”
