OT: Bears Talk - Justin Fields era begins

[dice]

Give me Justin Fields. Or a trade back. Some sports excitement is needed in this awful sports city right now.

Man, this is crazy:

-Either it works out and Pace/Nagy are right on Fields and they save their job and are dominant for the next decade

you sure do love thinking in decades. trading for khalil mack did not save the franchise for a decade, and fields won't either unless he's both a franchise QB and a respectable supporting cast is put around him. just ask deshaun watson

-They miss, they're fired...

and they're quite OK with that gamble, because without this trade they were getting fired anyway. even if they KNEW this is a bad trade, they would still have done it

[Chicago-Bull-E]

Kiper had Fields as the 6th best overall prospect, 2nd best QB in the draft.

McShay called Fields the most physically gifted QB in this class. 4.4 40!

[Chicago-Bull-E]

Now get him a tackle in the 2nd round.

[sco]

Gotta draft O-linemen for remainder of draft.

Love this.

the 49ers traded their 12th-overall pick, a 2022 third-round compensatory pick and first-round picks in 2022 and 2023 for the Miami Dolphins No. 3 overall selection. Ended up with Lance. Bears gave up so much less and ended up with fields, who is equal level prospect.

he also had trubisky as his #1 QB, w/ mahomes not in his top 25 prospects

To be fair... Kiper is an idiot. But I do think Fields is the 2nd best QB in this class.

The Bears have a respectable cast, lmao comparing the Bears to the Texans. They made the playoffs and then they traded Hopkins. They're a loony bin over there.

they do NOW. i thought we were talking about the next decade...roflcopter. things change rapidly in the nfl...just ask the texans

could well be. could end up better than lawrence

so why did fields fall? why are wilson and lance expected to be franchise QBs now but not fields?

[Chicago-Bull-E]

Avoiding this guy was the win of the night.

I mean, we’re in a lot of trouble. Can they get us out of it with this deal? Who the f knows. It’s better than the Wilson stuff. Id be exited if it was 2017. Right now Im still worried.

Didn't all the analysts have Mitch up there with Mahomes and Watson?

we're unlikely to find out in field's rookie season. unless he looks awful we're likely to see golden boy pace strutting around halas hall beyond next season

Things change REAL quick when you make dumbass trades like the one they made for Hopkins and have the worst culture in the NFL.

Quit trollin and enjoy the hope that Justin Fields offers. He's an elite athlete, winning QB with great legs and a great arm.

most had mitch as the best of the QB class. just saying that kiper's not some soothsayer

It's a heck of a lot easier to contend consistently with a QB than it is without. By far the most important position to fill.

Now of course, we don't know if he's good or a bust. Hell, for all we know even Trevor Lawrence might be a bust. But you have to have the QB or else the rest gets wasted anyway. We had a Superbowl caliber defense for several years in the mid-2000's. Then again 3 years ago. It meant nothing because we didn't have a QB

just because i don't possess your feverish blind optimism doesn't mean i'm trolling

and things got better rapidly BEFORE they got worse rapidly in texas. again, things can change quickly every season in the nfl. even with a great QB there can be fallow periods. the packers recently had consecutive losing seasons. matt ryan is an MVP who has had garbage teams. and obviously we can't project fields to be that good

will the bears even have an above average defense this coming season? that's all they were this past season w/ mack still in his prime. now they lose kyle fuller. will the O-line get respectably patched up? will montgomery continue to look good? how about the receiving corps?

[Chicago-Bull-E]

Peak Justin Fields. Taking down powerhouse Clemson and outplaying Lawrence. Coming back into the game after getting his ribs crushed. Toughness, speed, and threw bombs.
