Do we as a fan base know 100% for sure no one in the entire Bears organization has never sat down with JF to go over film, work on reads, work on progressions, work on footwork, work on release? Justin said publicly that Getsy and him went over the playbook to remove plays he did not like, he wanted the playbook smaller so he didn’t have to think and he could just play free.
I read this all the time and hear the talking heads say the org failed him… what am I missing that the coaches are not doing? I cannot imagine they’re not working with him. Is the thought he just hangs out by himself every practice and no one helps him or coaches him. Or is it simply that Getsy should call designed Qb run, roll out, move the pocket, and no more than 2 read throws? He is a professional qb and should be able to run a competent offense. Which team said they knew exactly what the bears would run… is that on Getsy or is that on Fields not being able to run a full offense. It was Fields that asked for less…
Genuinely curious for those that blame coaches for JF1 lack of success.
I’m just a fan, but to me it looks like Fields wants to steal the other team’s soul by creating big plays even when the defense is specifically trying to stop that. And it looks like Getsy wants to bleed them to death via 1,000,000 paper cuts.
It’s less that I think Fields is right or Getsy is right. It is more that Field’s style is more fun when it works, and I’m not sure he has the patience or precision for Getsy. It feels more like a difference of philosophy than truly bad coaching
