2024 NFL Offseason and Draft Thread

[forgetful]

That same type of play was called a reception in the Lions v. Vikings game.

[MuggsyB]

Field's and the Bears got very lucky with a dropped INT.

What should da Bears do with the #1 pick?

[4everwarriors]

Ax Fluffy BM, hey?

[MuggsyB]

Another horsebleep play call on 2 and 4. 

[DegenerateDish]

It’s amazing how few calls Fields gets when he gets annihilated.

As of a couple weeks ago, he hasn't received a single flag as runner or thrower this season

[WhiteTrash]

That sack was not on Fields. Not often you can say that.

[Uncle Rico]

Wasn’t a penalty anyway

[WhiteTrash]

All I can say is Fields and Company are making the Packers look like the '85 Bears.

[jesmu84]

Get rid of this staff.

Can't do anything on offense. Panthers put up how many?

Defense didn't force a single punt.

[DegenerateDish]

This game outcome was definitely best for Chicago long term.

I was wrong last week when I said they should keep Fields. I see why he is so frustrating. If they feel good about Williams or Maye, I would make that change.

[Uncle Rico]

All that yapping by Chicago this past week and the Packers kicked your butts at the LOS and beat you to make the playoffs.  Sad!

I still say keep fields. Trade down. Acquire picks/talent.

Find a QB in another round/another year.

[forgetful]

I'm very glad my gut feeling was wrong. Love had a hell of a game.

The last 3rd down completion was the type of play Rodgers made, before his decline.

Aaron Jones punishing the defenders for a couple extra yards to lock up the win.

[tower912]

Stafford to finally play a playoff game at Ford Field.

[wadesworld]

Bi annual Bears down post.

Maybe someday in his career the best QB in the NFC North will beat the Packers. Hope the Bears can lock him up long term.

Fields ain’t it.  Processes too slow in the pocket.  Keep the pick and hope you get it right

I don't think he's it either.

But I, personally, don't think either of those 2 are worth #1 overall.

Take a later round pick or 2 at QB. Keep fields for his 4th year, but don't sign his 5th yr option.

If Fields doesn't do anything better next year, and you don't like any other QB on your roster, go nuts in 2025 draft.

I follow your logic but not all drafts are created equally. If Williams and Maye don't grade out, I'll sign up for your game plan.

I think you are in the vast minority but maybe correct.

Both 3rd down conversions on that last drive were impressive as hell.

The haul you could get moving down from #1 is going to be big.

And, again, if you stockpile picks in 2024 and Justin doesn't impress next season, you have ammo to go get a guy you like in 2025.

I'm much more concerned about the coaching staff than I am about the QB situation

Understood. I just don't know the quality of next years QB class to endorse that plan.

I am officially over the Fields experiment. I think he could get better but I think he is headed to more injuries and more missed time. He has to run to be successful = injuries; he still holds the ball too long and causes many of his sacks = injuries.

I'm not sold on Eberfluss at all.

That's the big question. If the Bears brass believes that Williams, Daniels or Maye is a face-of-franchise-for-decade QB, they should absolutely keep the pick and draft him.

If they're wishy-washy on all of 'em, they should do what you suggest.

Right now, the 2025 QB draft class doesn't look very strong. So that has to play into it, too.

I don't think Fields is the guy, and who knows what the Bears will do with the coaching staff.
