Really really wrong takes on those tweets.
So let's risk our future franchise on a piece of shit line against one of the most destructive pass rushers the very first game. Not only risk him being crushed but start instilling in him all the bad habits that come with not being able to trust your O-line. I guess it's never too early to ruin a good QB.
Dalton is not good but I am all for him being the QB while this O-line tries to find it's ass with both hands.

And just because your QB can take "one of the hardest shots that 'caved in his chest'" does that really mean you want him to?

This year is fucked. This team is fucked until we get a head coach that is NFL caliber and a GM that understands player evaluation. I want the Bears to contend this year but it won't happen. Let's not kill our chances for future years... after all, how many JF's are we going to be able to draft?
So just cause a few fans like yourself are cowardly, our rookie QB has to be treated as such?

Justin fields has to play early and should be starting week 1. He gives the team the best chance to win. All the other guys deserve to have the best players on the field around them. They all have a shelf life and they are out there to win.
I keep saying this all the time to people who just think we can have a 'it doesnt matter' year. There are 52 players on the team not named Fields that want to win this year.

The better Fields becomes, the better he will be able to make those others. You people are simply idiots…
no QB can do it alone.....its almost a pre-req to win a Superbowl, but the Bears need some more talent, esp on oline

But what has the destructive Donald done in three games against the Bears? His numbers don't show that he has blown up the Bears OL, 8 tackles, 2.5 sacks which would be great in a single game but not three.

Since in your opinion this year is as you say fucked anyway it doesn't matter if Nagy loses the locker room by not playing the best QB on the team? What would that say to the other 52 men on the team?

Though the OL was just average at it's best last year, it was far from the worst OL in the league while protecting a statue, and a QB who panics in the pocket.

They are not starting Dalton because of Donald......that is stupid.....

Dalton was promised to start. Nagy even hinted at it.....Dalton said it....

No one except for Dalton's wife and Dalton's mom want him to start, but here we are. It may be a shorter tenure than Glennon.

Can you test for what happened before the Big Bang?

Not in the way I imagine you are using the term. But you can develop theories based on mathematical relationships that postulate that before the Big Bang that created this Universe, there was a Big Crunch where a previous universe expanded until it collapsed upon itself creating a singularity that then caused the Big Bang that created this universe. And thus this universe will expand before collapsing into its own singularity and then giving birth to a new universe.

The mathematics of a rapidly expanding universe is such that if run the mathematics in reverse, you reach a point in time billions of years ago where all the matter in the universe was encompassed within a singularity. Now of course, just because something is mathematically possible does not mean it physically exists in this universe but faith does not guide the scientist so much as mathematics and observations do.

That’s true. But the GM, HC, and owners aren’t just looking at this year. They are literally paid to look beyond just one year.

Justin Herbert only started because Taylor had a shitty doctor. And he had the greatest rookie season ever. Bears fans just need to stop whining like a bunch of bitches. If Dalton starts, he starts. Like Holy Shit, Fields career is not going to be ruined if Dalton starts initially.

It’s much easier to deal with a bad OL when the QB is one of the fastest players on the field.
I think his poise in the pocket and command of the offense is even more important than his athletic ability. Now put them both together and you have a special prospect.

Why though? Did you watch him in college? Was there some highlights you saw? I get people being excited about Jenkins because everyone watched those highlight videos. I get Fields because we all saw him play in college a bunch. Other than a few tweets about Borom where is this coming from?
He literally had zero pressures his last year while playing in the SEC and then he lost 30+ pounds. He had to have been doing something right. Most slow 30+ pounds overweight offensive linemen are going to destroyed by SEC defensive rushers. Not even the great Alabama defenders were able to get pressure.

Once he finds out what his ideal weight is supposed to be, he is only going to get better.

Even Dalton knows it is inevitable, and after two pre-season games it may be sooner than some here want.

I don’t think Dalton is starting because he was promised to start. He’s probably going to start because he is the most prepared.

Interesting. But for a species that can't even begin to imagine the shape of the cosmos (is it finite or infinite and are either possible?) we seem to be a long way from really understanding how it began.

No, there will be 53 players not named Nagy that want to win this year.

It makes no sense in a professional sports league, but I absolutely believe that Nagy is starting Dalton because he’s too afraid to go back on his word and hurt Dalton’s feelings. It would be very on-brand for Nagy and the Bears organization.
