Justin Fields is the present and future of Chicago Bears football. The Carolina Panthers' decision to fire head coach Frank Reich less than one year into his…
It’s Fields. Mooney gets open a lot. Fields either doesn’t throw to him at all or he throws a hospital pass. Mostly it’s because Mooney is no longer the 1st read on any given play like last season. He’s number 2 or 3, so Fields never even bothers to look at him. Usual stuff from a bad QB that can’t process. That alone will prove why it’s so stupid to draft MHJ if you keep Fields. Moore or MHJ will never get the ball, because Fields doesn’t get past his first read or his checkdown.
Well, DJ is on pace for 1400+ yards, which would put him top 3 all-time single season receivers for Bears. I wonder where he’d be if we had a competent OC? My personal opinion is we have a very good QB. Build an o-line around him, get a great HC/OC combination and use your draft/cap capital elsewhere. Not a hot take, just an opinion.
DJ with a good QB would be far better. DJ is also getting all these looks because he’s the #1 option, which is the only read Fields can process. He doesn’t ever look at his 2nd read, which is usually Mooney. That’s why you never see Mooney get the ball anymore. Scott never gets it either unless the one time he’s the 1st option. Fields cannot process like an NFL QB.
Lol agreed. Mooney and scott both had more yards in bagents 4 week stretch than they’ve had the rest of the season with fields. Mooney had 1k yards when he was fields top option. Fields is a 1 read qb, and if it breaks down will scramble or maybe hit someone out of structure in the scramble drill if they’re wide open. I honestly don’t know what the fuck people here are watching if they think fields is a good qb. Lol then they say caleb and maye are shitty prospects when they’re both way better prospects than fields was, and it’s not like a rookie has a high bar to clear with the last 3 years of fields performances, it will be very impressive if we manage to downgrade from him. Most of the “busts” taken 1st overall are/ were much better qbs than fields is.
This exactly. Even a total bust would be better than Fields is currently. I can’t understand how nobody else sees that. What are they watching? Is it just the 5 games last season where the Bears put up points on repeat? Have they seen any games this year?
I like how the narrative he’s presenting is that Fields needs a serious down field threat in order to properly evaluate him.
Which is exactly the same narrative as last year prior to getting DJ Moore.
…and they threw 16 designed passes behind the line of scrimmage. Can’t use a down field threat if you don’t design plays for him to get down field.
Mooney should be that threat. I’m not sure if it’s him or Fields but that’s the missing link.

Lol i swear they’re watching and are just like “oooo fields run fast!!”
He will have guys open on deep in routes or posts… But just doesn’t throw it. It’s all over his tape.
I didn’t read that at all in the article lol
