At the time I preferred Daboll but he doesn’t look very good either, so…

He may not be THE problem. But takes like this move all of the blame away from him, and he deserves at least a reasonably large portion of the blame for the offensive struggles since he was drafted.

He hasn’t been good enough, even separate from the coaching and playcalling. Missing easy throws, holding the ball too long, slow reads. These are things in which Justin Fields CAN make a difference, but hasn’t. He is great with his feet, but that type of QB never stays that type of QB for long in this league. Every “running QB” has eventually had to be a “throwing QB”, or else they washed out of the league.

I like Justin. He has busted his tail and seems to want to win badly. I wish he had been good here. He just has not. I hope he can find a way to build a long career in the NFL, whether with the Bears or not.

Half of this sub would use that line to prove Justin Fields is a future MVP candidate.

No, that’s absurd. If you can’t look at these numbers and see that people wanting to move on from Fields are reactionary morons you don’t get football!

It’s definitely them, not me, being reactionary!!1!

It’d be kind of funny to watch that blow up in your face, but man - I really hope he does not.

The proven track record surely plays into the “microscope” after every game, no?

Like, you live with a game like Mahomes had here when he has multiple Super Bowls and Super Bowl MVPs and regular season MVPs and is 71-19 as a starter.

It’s a little different for Justin Fields, and it should be. To even compare the two is beyond stupid, even for a “joke” (jokes are usually funny, but I digress)

Pretty embarrassing post for you

Wait, Poles wasn’t building with years 1 and 2 in mind? I mean, year 1 sure … but year 2?

All last year the narrative here was “yeah we’re really bad, but we have a ton of cap room and great draft capital this offseason, we will be much better next year after we spend and shore up the issues.” And now it’s, clearly we weren’t ever building to be decent this year?

We were all over the “which team is going to be the most improved in 2023?” lists last year, and we are still miserable looking at a top-5 pick. This thread talking about running it back with another year of Fields (and Poles and Eberflus) is weird to me, given that 2 of our 3 wins so far were with Fields on the bench.

They picked a QB who was immediately very good, for one thing.
