Looked like the same Fields to me. I like the guy and his skillset a lot, but same stuff. Taking sacks, fumbled two snaps. A few good throws but not too consistent. It's never been about his talent but his ability to make the correct read and make plays when it matters most. I am pulling for the guy and he's in a good spot, but it's really on him at this point.

Where he had a good outing and said the NFL is slow to me. My point being is, it is the preseason and nothing means anything. in 2021 the bears thought they found their answer. and here they are again getting hyped because the answer is here after a single preseason game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, If he can't beat out an over the hill/hurt Wilson, he may be done as an NFL starter. Similar to when Mitch had his shot in Pittsburgh. It's fashionable to bag on the OC(s) but at some point it's really up to the player to make the plays available within the offense regardless if it's the best offense/plays for their individual skillset. What normally "breaks" QBs like Fields is their inability to make "winning" plays when it matters most. That being said, I am rooting for the guy.

But man.. if you could get him for a pick swap/cheap... he'd be a phenomenal pick up with Sam E out for the year. I like what we have on the DL right now, but truly cannot have enough depth. Not overly sure he's a 3 down guy in a 4-3 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see another team trading for him since he won't report until he gets a new contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronkonagurski Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 Seemed like a pretty good sized crowd at Lucas Oil yesterday for a preseason game. Cool to see some guys trying out the helmet condoms, they don't look too bad with the paint jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Feel silly asking this since I live in Indy but I don't go to many Colts games. The one's I've gone we either tailgate or have drinks up North and Uber. I have about 2 dozen Bears fans coming in for our September game. My question is this. I think most bars open at 10am for 1pm kick....but does anyone know if places like Georgia St or elsewhere are open to have beers and walk around before game? Thanks!

Fields can run…but everyone has known from his Ohio St days he is slow to make decisions and get the ball out. I mean his qbr was basically the same as Desmond Ridder’s…it would take an epic turnaround to fix him. I got hate for past 3 years for telling it like it is to Bears fans but I think some are finally accepting it now that they aren’t invested in him.

I would say over 50% of Bears fans were aware of what was happening. You have to understand they are some of the most negative fans there is. Just because some were cheering his every move, I think most fans started to see the writing on the wall.

I am tired of having a great team and exiting early in the playoffs, and not having a great team but still managing to scrub together enough wins for a late teens draft pick.

I think Fields with the right staff and system can reinvent himself. The Bears as an organization and staff failed the kid. Someone out there will help him. Doubt it's Tomlin or the Steelers as they aren't necessarily known as the bastion of offense. Baker Mayfield, Geno Smith, Alex Smith, Jimmy G...shoot even Steve Young. I blame the Bears not Fields and wish him luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you need high draft picks. You have your qb, best wr in nfl, top 5 te, and heck Addison is legit too. Your ready to start winning Edited August 17 by dgambill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
