I like Justin Fields the person and the leader but I don’t know if he can ever be a great QB. My question is, is he good enough?
Yes, we can draft another QB with pick 1 or 4 (or whatever) but we can get a boatload of picks by trading down from #1. Most highly drafted QBs don’t turn into great NFL QBs and our franchise sucks at developing them.
As the defense is playing well, the OLine looks solid, can we go forward and compete with JF1?
Personally, I think if we boot Getsy and get an OC who actually builds a plan around Fields, we may be able to compete by investing in OL, DL and WR.
And if we win 2-3 more games, we might be stuck with the entire front office for next year anyway.
I think a lot of his mistakes comes from him trying to do too much cuz the bears have been so bad that he’s the only one that’s kept them in games at times. I think if he was on a team that asked him to just be a game manager and make a few highlight plays he could be good in that role but that’s not a franchise guy you pay a big contract to. Thats a guy you pay a little extra to have as a backup if youre a team like the eagles who wants someone to step in for if Hurts were to get injured and he could pull a Nick Foles for them
