Why don’t you hold Fields to those same standards? Because if you did, you’d want to make a change at QB

I love DJ Moore

From what I read, they did 10 minute exit interviews today with the entire roster from like 10am-5pm, Pace and Flus were conducting the meetings. If they were moving on, I’d have to imagine they would have fired him at like 8am this morning. Now, I would certainly hope they are exploring all options and if someone like Harbaugh expressed interest, doesn’t mean they can’t move in a different direction…but I get the sense if Flus did all these interviews, he’s safe

Here is a list of NFL QB's that are better than Justin Fields, in alphabetical order: Josh Allen Jared Goff Jalen Hurts Lamar Jackson Jordan Love Patrick Mahomes Kyler Murray Dak Prescott Brock Purdy Matthew Stafford CJ Stroud Tua Tagovailoa Russell Wilson I didn't include guys like Cousins, Rodgers, Trevor Lawrence, Derek Carr, but could have. Including those names, that's over half the league. It's time to think bigger.

Everyone has a different definition of "elite" but if you're asking if they should expect them to be better than 2023/2024 Justin Fields by the end of their second year in the NFL? Then yes, and that isn't an unrealistic expectation at all.

I like Justin. I think his development has been stunted with the Bears many times. Probably has a different career trajectory with a well-run franchise. But to your point, the reality is we've had 35 starts with him and have a very good idea of who he is as a Chicago Bear. They are going to need more out of the QB position if they want to win playoff games. I am not an avid watcher of college football, if Drake Maye was walking down the street next to me I wouldn't have a clue. But rookie QB's can be successful in Year 1, as we have seen multiple times. Drafting someone at 1 doesn't mean they are punting on the season. And they would be absolutely be investing into the team for the long term. Keeping Fields doesn't do that, because by trading out of No. 1 and keeping Fields, you still haven't found your franchise QB and they're just kicking the can down the road.

I don’t know how these things go together. Let’s remove Fields first season from the equation, let’s just go with the last two years. What has he shown you to tell you he is going to make a major leap, and he’ll lead this team over the Packers and other quality teams? The Bears can’t be ok with “ok” They have a super unique opportunity with the No. 1 pick, and you say “Well if it doesn’t work out after next year, go get a QB.” They won’t have a better opportunity than this.

With another loss to GB where the game wasn’t really all that close, if I’m Poles I’m taking this incredibly unique opportunity he created for himself (and deserves credit for) to get in a new staff and QB. You know the ceiling here. And it’s not a Super Bowl

God they played like s%*# today.

Yeah that's horseshit, and CONTINUES to happy every week

If anything, this game was a really good microcosm of the problems with the Bears. - Fields has not had enough games where he is the main reason they won the game. They aren't losing today because of Fields, but he's done nothing to help them - Has been absolutely no pash rush today, like even a little bit. That's a talent and scheme issue, and both need to be seriously addressed - The WR core still sucks. There needs to be another option out there outside of DJ, there just isn't a ton of talent for Fields to throw to - The offensive line has been BAD. You've got two legit starters in Jenkins and Wright, everyone else is just a body, and multiple guys on the OL are plain bad

It's still the most simple element in sports. There is no such thing as a good secondary with no pash rush.

Fields has to hit that, that camera angle was perfect, threw behind him

Not at all. It’s been your “normal” Fields day

Will bet you $1000 that does not happen

Probably, but also the easiest position to fill, don’t think it should be a major concern

Amazing what a QB can do with a clean pocket play after play

What is this?!? https://x.com/stevencheah/status/1744126379128414212?s=46&t=Nd9oJCYs4TMp8_32NrPiMA

So ready to be done with Eddie Jackson

Gotta make them pay for that (I’m sure they won’t haha)

It does seem like this game should be a much different score at this point. Luckily the Bears O has been on the field for a good amount of time. They have a few 3 and outs and it could get out of hand quick

Just like the Lions have been a good matchup for the Bears, the Packers are an awful one (what’s new?) Jordan Love is also the real deal, dude has looked great for 2/3 of the season

There have been like 200 shitty snaps from the Bears center position this season

The best organization in football traded a kings ransom to have the right to draft Trey Lance. It doesn’t always work.

This is stupid, as neither of things help the Bears in the short and long term If you believe the reports out there, and from what I was told on this site by MANY, today doesn’t matter, so the results shouldn’t change based on what transpires today.
