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…
I am convinced Bears fans have no idea what franchise QB looks like. Justin Fields has had about 4 good games in 3 years. He put up 12 points on primetime tv. He is statistically one of the worst 3 QBs over the last couple years with Zach Wilson and Mac Jones. He crumbles in every 4th quarter. We lost every game for an entire calendar year. An undrafted rookie came in and played better than him. Do you guys get pleasure from the pain of watching awful football? Is it a Bears fan kink?
No we don’t. Most of us weren’t alive when Sid Luckman played.
Thing is at the same time most fans have no clue how big a factor coaching and strength of roster is to a drafted QB succeeding.
Sure if Caleb was drafted by say the Steelers, he’d probably be functional at the least. The Bears, maybe fully formed QBs like Elway, Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck could do well. However a QB that needs to be developed and good coaching and playcalling to ease him into the NFL? No chance, not in Chicago
Lets change the conversation a little. People are not judging Fields fairly, because of one phrase, one expectation: franchise Qb.
Forget franchise QB. Ok because as soon as we say that, people think Fields has to be the next Patrick Mahomes, or he’s a bust.
Can we get Fields to play something like Lamar Jackson? I think a lot more people would say yes, if we brought coaches in and built a system around him the way the Ravens built a system around Jackson, he could have similar levels of success as Jackson.
