I think it’s time to put a rest to the Bagent QB1 talk. He is a decent backup and game manager but the talent JF1 has puts Bagent to rest. Again, I like Bagent as a long-term backup but by no means is he our QB1 of the present of future

    He does things that unfortunately Justin probably won’t ever be able to do, feel the rush, get rid of the ball. While I don’t think Bagent is a star he definitely can get better. But I think our future starting quarterback is in college right now. Justin is just too inconsistent and doesn’t process fast enough. I don’t think he can get better at that. While our coaching staff sucks, it might be time to say so does Justin. That hurts me, I literally bought 6 jerseys of his for my family and put all my hopes he would finally be the guy. He’s not. Poles is also not the GM that will fix this. He had a horrible offseason in retrospect. Besides the trade, and Wright pick, everything else has been blah.

    “Fields just needs more time, we need to let him develop so we can find out if he’s the guy.”

    “We’ve seen enough from Bagent after two games, he is nothing but a career backup.”

    Make it make sense

      Bagent’s two games coincided with the OLine coming together nicely.

      Justin never had that (or good wide receivers) in his three seasons until recently. Perspective.

    i knew he wasn’t ready yeah he beat the weak ass raiders but i knew once he played a more talented defense like the chargers he was going to struggle and i’m not saying this to hate on him but he’s just not ready and it’s time for Justin to cook

    Was watching the game last night and thought it was interesting how Chris Collinsworth kept saying how much Fields could learn from Bagent, a rookie.

    Bagent holds himself with good composure, does not panic, gets the ball out quickly, and manages the game well. From what little I’ve seen of him, he also has a natural ability to read the defense. These are all the areas Fields struggles in.

    However, Fields is just way more talented. He’s our starter, Bagent is our QB2, and there’s no question about it. I like Bagent a lot and love his story, but he missed some pretty easy throws and doesn’t have near the athletic ability as Justin.

    Hopefully Fields learned a thing or two from staying involved and watching Tyson from the sidelines and we can see some of that mental game transition over. He’s got half a season left to save his career. Let’s wish him the best and see what happens. Bear tf down

    Honestly aside from the first interception what was so bad about him? No, he doesn’t look super special, but (as most bears QBs always seem to have to deal with), he had a couple of big plays taken away from him, by bad drops, and referees not giving us the benefit of the doubt. Bagent wasn’t the one that called 3 straight runs after a big 20 yard completion, he’s not the one that dropped those passes that lost us possession and 6 points, he’s not the guy that called a fake handoff while having Whitehair blocking Bosa. This team has blame to pass around for this performance and very little of it should be pointed at him

        Just because he runs fast doesn’t mean he’s talented for the nfl. Y’all just like to suck OSU dick and assume that the D-2 player is worse. Bagent looks significantly more talented than fields in the nfl.

    If you compared Fields and Bagent’s first two starts they are pretty comparable.

    They both went 1-1 and Bagent actually has better stats I’d say

    Fields had 17 completions on 37 attempts for 277 yards. 0 Td 1 Int 1 Fumble Ran 6 times and gained 21 yards on the ground. He got sacked 10 times for loss of 91 yards.

    Bagent had 46 completions on 66 attempts for 395 yards. 1 Td 2 Int 0 Fumbles Ran 5 times for 28 yards and a touchdown. He got sacked 2 times for a loss of 12 yards.

    We need a new qb altogether. We will get stuck in purgatory with fields that why I’d prefer we give bagent a chance for the rest of the season.
