I know I'm biased, but what more can a coach ask for coming in. Good cap space, solid defense, two top 10 picks (including number one), a stud WR.
I think he would've come here.
Without a doubt. But the McCaskeys would rather lose than give up the spotlight to Jim. He commands the spotlight because of who he is. He would be the entire story in the city. But alas, the McCaskeys are losers at life.
Yes, Poles confirmed he's staying.
I think Harbaugh has eyes on San Diego and always has. I'd love to see him in a Bears hoodie, but I don't think the organization will give him the control he wanted.
Spot on. The wins against Det and Atlanta are the reasons Flus and possibly Fields are staying. Ugh.
Who is to say the don't take Young over Stroud last year and then where would they be. I was fine trading down with the haul they got and if they get offer something similar or more I would be fine keeping Fields.
Why is it always worst case with you guys when trying to look at how they could finally have a franchise qb. It's like you're all permanently broken.
Decades of frustration?
OK. Good point
Since they kept Eberflus, I'm actually against them drafting a QB now and want them to draft down. Ideally, I wanted Harbaugh and a new QB. I understand what you're saying, though.
What a coward. I wish they would fire Poles *** after another failure next season, but they won't.
Would do nothing for Fields. He's not the QB Hurts is. He'd still be the same confused mess with a slow delivery.
The Chiefs have like 6 or 7 major contributors on their roster right now that were drafted after pick 142. These are just the guys they drafted. There are a few more - would need to look.
Might get blasted here but, do we know for sure that from a talent standpoint Hurts is that much better then Fields? I'm not a Fields homer or a Hurts basher. Just from a skill level standpoint I just think they may be closer then people think.
They are probably neck and neck. Eagles have the better OL and skill position players. I think Shane Stichen is an excellent coach and worked well with Hurts. Compared to Getsy who is kind of a bum.
He's much better. Just watch the two of them stand in the pocket and make decisions/throws. Hurts is way more poised, in control, smarter, and more accurate.
Ehh... Its no question that the Eagles have the better talent around the QB. They have the #1 rated OL. Better WRs.
Quoting stats is so deceiving. Watch the two play. One can run a traditional passing offense, one can't. The Eagles receivers have nothing to do with how Hurts looks between the snap of the ball to the release. That's on the qb. Fields could never run a standard timing based passing game. If you've watched him closely and are honest you'd know it.
Yep. I'm not saying Fields is better then Hurts. At this point, if I was a GM I'd take Hurts by a lot over Fields. He has just proven he is a winning QB in this league. Winning matters. The NFL changes very quickly and I still believe Fields has the goods to be a legit guy. I'm saying the gap between the two, from an ability standpoint, isnt light years apart.
I think Fields has the potential to is the point. He had Getsy, an average to below average OL and one good WR.
I mean yeah, Fields might be the most athletic qb in the league. He's big and strong and fast. Has a huge arm. Just struggles with accuracy and decision making. But he's no chump.
To me the McCaskey Bears resemble the Tribune owned Cubs. Horrible ownership that does just enough to keep the paying fan base engaged. The McCaskey family lives off the Bears, win or lose, the family thrives, it's all they have for the most part. The McCaskeys could care less about the Halas/Bears NFL Legacy, they just want to fill their pockets. Sell the @#$%ing team please!
Not sure I trust that 'source' at all.
Yeah. I don’t know how credible he is.
A fact check site said that account isn't credible. The past tweets look just as outrageous.
I think Waldon and Kubiak are the front runners. Waldon seems pretty average to me though. He had a good amount of talent in Seattle and that offense was only ok.
Tongue in cheek, I'm sure, but Chase has less than zero coaching experience. I think he could do well, but he needs some time on a coaching staff before that happens.
It was on the athletic podcast that I watched on YouTube and he was semi joking, but you could see on his face if they called he'd take it.
I suspect he'll be on a staff somewhere in the next year or two and it wouldn't surprise me if he does well.
I agree. He bounced around the league long enough as a backup without any elite skills. Probably means his QB IQ is solid. Can't be upset with his results as a spot starter for the Bears either.
Let it go, man. They also missed on Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Mac Jones and Bryce Young in addition to many, many more high 1st round busts. It's easy to cherry pick in hindsight.
Bottom line is, we don't have a real reason not to take one this year. Fields is not an acceptable reason. He's a losing qb. You don't keep that and pass on potential stars for a guy with his obvious flaws.
Bears have missed on QBs for the last 40 years. Just let it go and accept decades of failure. No thank you
End of his 3rd season and their biggest rival beat him yet again and said the goal was to just keep him in the pocket and make him throw. Guess what? It worked. Couldn't be anymore obvious that he's never going to cut it, except to the broken Bears fans so used to failure.
Given that, why would you want to try yet again when the other option is a starting QB plus 3 1st round draft picks?
