Oso planning to go pro
Yea thats the frustrating part. He's not in a position to succeed, but he's still failing where he can. He played a much better second half, but his first half was brutal. Decision making/timing is something many young QBs struggle with making the jump to the NFL, but its hard to see him making the jump and improving on that in his current situation.He's a smart and effective runner, its great to see him slide instead of getting maimed. He's making more and more good throws, changing arm and delivery angles, his deep ball is looking nice. But he's missing touch throws and not seeing developing routes, its all for naught.I don't agree that its a good season to make an evaluation cause he's in such a brutal surrounding talent situation, but he's not earned benefit of the doubt with a lot of his play. With all due respect, the idea that the Bears "aren't bad" outside of Fields struggling is absolute insanity. Outside of decent RBs and Mooney, who is a good WR2/3 not a WR1, there are zero play makers, the line is atrocious, and the defense is suspect outside of the secondary.
I agree with you. I truly hope Fields gets better but it seems less likely each week. This is a good season to make an evaluation; little is expected of the team so the losses don't matter. The Bears are 2-3 years away from being competitive, so a reset at QB is not a killer. And, it has been stated before, that the current staff has no connection to him so moving on will be easy since they will not be blamed for his failure.
He will put up 28 against Detroit.
Talent around Fields is bad, but most of the things you guys are mentioning are coaching issues.
I disagree. Fields being unable to read defenses - a la Trubisky - is on him, not the coaches. It is a skill that Fields does not possess.
Peddle Love ta da Bears, hey?
Ha, right?Serious question, since you brought him up, would any team trade for Love? Obviously it would be for a single 7-8 round pick, but is he worth that even?
You're trying to tell me that it is difficult to read defenses? Or are you saying the coaches aren't able to teach how to?A TON of bonehead QBs could read defenses.
Yes, I'm thinking teams would give up their 8th rounder for Love.
I'd love to see the Bears continue to trade draft picks to take a QB in the first round every 3-4 years.

See that to me didn't seem like an inability to read the defense. He was cocked back ready to make that throw. That looked like holding the ball too long/timing, and a lack of confidence in either himself or his OL.Its still bad. Its missing throws you need/want your QB to make, but the nuance is relevant
There’s little to no difference between Atlanta/New Orleans/Tampa.You could convince me Tampa is the worst of the three.
