I think the Bears are doing a better job managing the brush when they spread it out. Also, no way in hell they should get rid of Fields.

One example off the top of my head. The Patriots when they had Brady. Matt Cassell, Jimmy G… there’s at least one more I’m forgetting. Anyways, the Patriots drafted QBs often and it paid off in spaids as far as keeping seasons going if Brady was hurt or bringing back hauls in trades. In the Bears’ current situation (a QB who could very likely get another year or two but you’re not totally sold on) it seems to make a ton of sense. Especially since they have so much draft capital.

I’m not gonna flat out rip this apart because I kiiiiinda get where you’re coming from.

Fields is on a 4 game stretch (deleting the game he got hurt and didn’t finish) of playing really good ball and Getsy seems to have finally committed to playing to Fields’ strengths. It’s also far from ideal for Fields to have to change OCs…again.

But remember…he spent this entire off-season focused on keeping Fields in the pocket and the screen game while completely ignoring everything that produced success in 22. Maybe he learned his lesson but, to me, it’s unforgivable and is evidence of several, awful coaching traits. Imagine where Fields and this offense would be had Getsy simply tried to steadily build off what was successful.

I agree. Especially because of how difficult the position is to project to the NFL.

Getsy…is that you? There’s gotta be someone more qualified that can help you, no?
