Let's consider this Starling Thomas as a target to find for a PS spot.
Post Josh Allen's for comparison. And I said Fields was an NFL ready QB, not that he was an NFL ready passer. Almost every rookie QB needs work. The point is Josh Allen needed a lot more, but you know that.
I wouldnt be too hard on him. He probably had a bet with someone that he would drop those passes.
When is this weekend?I don't know if it's been mentioned but with the HOF Game this coming weekend, there is now football every weekend from now all the way until the Super Bowl. **** yeah!
As far as I can recall, this was the big one. All that stuff came out right before the draft, and this idea that TLaw/Fields were 1a/1b started to really shift to where FIelds ended up going as the 4th QB taken instead of the 2nd, which is where EVERYONE had him going for the longest time. Thank **** for Orlovsky. Lol.As I recall, the issues surrounding Justin Fields that caused his fall in the draft were:
1). Work ethic - Orlovsky trashed him citing rumors that "He's a last-guy-in, first-guy-out type of quarterback"
The HOF game is on Thursday.When is this weekend?
Why would we discuss Carolina in the Trey Lance thread?Anybody paying attention to Carolina??
If we're gonna discuss random ass teams, might as well focus on them.
Because Lovie is such a compelling speaker.@Kyle Brandt (I know you peruse this board you fellow Bears homer you), y'all should try and get Lovie Smith on as a guest host on the Good Morning Football.
Oh yeah that's right. They changed it from Sunday a few years ago.The HOF game is on Thursday.
Yeah we've all seen him speaking on a ton of media outlets when he wasn't in a coaching role.Because Lovie is such a compelling speaker.
I kind of preferred it on Sunday, but I guess they're eager to feed the fires of the football-starved fandom.Oh yeah that's right. They changed it from Sunday a few years ago.
Glad to know we can rest easy knowing that Justin has in fact taken that big jump forward with timing and rhythm."Has Fields made a big jump forward with his timing and rhythm? "
"I don't know that I'd say that."
"There's still room to grow"
"I think that's a work in progress"

Mentioned a lot of checks downs to RB's on 7 on 7 and that those guys probably aren't the primary read. Also mentioned Fields obviously isn't using his legs at this point in camp.
(Those quotes were taken from a longer conversation but Brad doesn't seem to be super positive right now. No overly negative... but definitely not drinking the kool aid like many reporters)
Heck, they signed CJ Gardner Johnson who's known for agitating Bears receivers, so turnabout is fair play.Let's consider this Starling Thomas as a target to find for a PS spot.
From the sounds of everyone who has been to camp, it sounds like he has taken a step forward but he's not there yet."Has Fields made a big jump forward with his timing and rhythm? "
"I don't know that I'd say that."
"There's still room to grow"

Interesting that Tyler Scott isn't in that mix.
