I'm kinda with you here. I'm all for the future more than the now.I think he will be long term. But rookies are still rookies. No matter where they’re drafted.
To me it's not just about Fields, it's about what we could get the the pick.but you want a 4th year for Fields

I'll be hoping for the best. Just win, that's ALL that matters to me.Stupid then
I hear ya.A Super Bowl? Or just eek into the playoffs? This is a 10-15 year decision. Not just about next year.
Ya'll Caleb Truthers are falling back on your hyperbole faster than a mutha!
not really
caleb is an upgrade from justin fields, its that simple. only ones attaching "generational" expectations are the ones against taking caleb in the first place
We hope he's an upgrade, only thing he's done related to the NFL so far is have a press conference.
the bar is low
Not really, one was a top 100 player by his peers last year.
One is an unknown, the other is a disappointment. Very likely that caleb could also be a disappointment, because thats how the NFL works.
one hasnt even thrown for 3000 yards
spare me the top 100 list. where are the results
Still an NFL rookie who hasn't thrown a single pass. He could end up sucking. Saying he's an upgrade is like saying Greg Oden was an upgrade when he was drafted. You never know what will happen, especially when the guy is playing under center for the bears.
You HOPE he's an upgrade.
See I disagree with this.the bar is low
Either you're disingenuous or a dimwit.the bar is low
Either you're disingenuous or a dimwit.
Fields in year 4 vs Caleb in year 1 will be a major narrative all season long
Eberflus' job security will be a story all year long if they struggle
The only way both of those narratives go away is if they hit the ground running and win right away. Caleb will have a top 5 defense and most likely will be asked to game manage much more than he did in college so it's set up well for him. The stats will be worthless (as it was for Justin when the defense emerged and he game managed following his injury) and the only thing that matters in this situation is W/L.
This can work out but to downplay Justin's talent/ability and pretend like Eberflus wasn't just named (by Bears players) the worst retuning HC in the NFL is putting your head in the sand.
What if he's worse? I mean I'll hope for the best but what if CW sucks and Fields is good somewhere?
yup, Caleb is going to have a difficult time replacing Sam Darnold level production
