With 12TDs (14 with rushes), 17 INTs, 9 fumbles (5 lost, 22 turnovers) and 71 rating? I'd hope for a better overall season.

Exactly. He better be ready. The opportunity cost warrants it.

Because would Williams or Maye succeed if they were out in exact same spot as Fields first 3 years?
This is why I believe to build the team first before getting the QB. Give the QB the best chance to succeed.
Mahomes, Jackson didn’t came and start right away for their teams. They sat behind a vet QB and didn’t have teams devoid of talent.
Fields came in with a GM and HC heading out the door. The team’s talent was on a downward trend due to being old and bad contracts. Then 2nd year was a gut job. This isn’t a recipe for success to develop a QB.

I am talking at a minimum passing yards. I can deal heightened INTS his first year, but if he shits the bed passing and can't even line up to other similarly drafted players...there is an issue.
The other teams were drafting at 1 out of necessity because they were the worst teams in the league previously....thats not the case with the Bears.

What double standard?
I think ppl see that JF is being called a bottom of the league QB and CW is a no brainer cant miss at the position. "Have to take him number one", even if you forgo the opportunity to build the roster more completely by acquiring more picks.
Expecting him to perform and win is absolutely reasonable.

You don’t know what they’re passing up. We won’t know what offers (if any) were made. But Bears fans will imagine they passed up THE HAUL OF THE CENTURY and it will forever cloud their judgment.
“Bears passed up 3 firsts and 2 seconds and a player!!! Caleb better be GENERATIONAL.”

Caleb better be an 15 year All Pro if the Bears give up 3 1sts and 2 2nds for him. That’s a lot of draft capital to give up.

Who gives a flying fuck about yards? What were Mahomes yards his rookie season? Think the Chiefs regret that? What about AR sitting for years? This is about the final product and people are acting like it’ll be a tragedy if the Bears miss out on that wildcard berth this year.

We also see the situation. Fields has had it bad. The team and coaching near league bottom. I don't understand how some never factor that fact in. We don't need a QB right now. We need a team that gives a QB has a chance to succeed. If CV was drafted 3 years ago most of you would be screaming for his replacement now. I always thought Flus and Fields stay or go together. I think that was always the plan. We'll see.

Give me one time the Bears ever developed a young QB. So far they failed 2 times in a row.

so you'd be cool with a Bryce Young yearWho gives a flying fuck about yards? What were Mahomes yards his rookie season? Think the Chiefs regret that? What about AR sitting for years? This is about the final product and people are acting like it’ll be a tragedy if the Bears miss out on that wildcard berth this year.
