As a big detractor, he played a great game today. This season is basically how he progresses. This coaching staff has really progressed also, they come to play and don’t commit dumb presnap penalties.Nice to see people coming around. Going back to Ohio St, I've always thought of Fields as a Cam Newton level prospect.
Really? You know this how? The great weapons he has? How about the wonderful line? He never has to run for his life. How about we give him more than a season and a half? How about the Bears commit some resources till we pass judgment? The Bears are in full rebuild and doing it on the fly. He needs some work on his mechanics. He needs to make better decisions and not force the ball. He is a work in progress and so are the Bears. Shout out to DA BEARS.Fields is not going to be a good QB, not even a decent one. Kid does not have it and you can easily see that.
He is never going to be any good passing the ball. Great athlete, crappy QB.
Fields #2 WR is a cast-off from the Packers. Agree that he needs to work on making faster decisions, and throwing receivers open. His accuracy is good, even in college.Really? You know this how?

Fields passed the eye test this game and it is clear that Luke Getsy is figuring out how to work with a mobile QB. The designed QB runs in the first half were incredibly smart. They got Fields in the groove and gave him the confidence he needed to connect on the passing plays he had. I also felt like he wasn't looking for the HR play every single time this game. Fumbles aside, I was pleased by the progression of Fields and the staff.As a big detractor, he played a great game today. This season is basically how he progresses.

He'll need excellent coaching to get re-signed as a starter when his rookie contract is up. He doesn't have the anticipation he needs and that's pretty much something you either have or you don't. Maybe the coaches just need to tell him go out and throw as many int's as you want, just keep trying to throw people open and anticipate. Maybe he's throwing scared but after being a QB all his life he should already be more advanced in this.Fields is not going to be a good QB, not even a decent one.

Good info. Thank youThe Bears tweaking their QB run game after a Week 6 mini-bye is the exact same timing as the Eagles' run-heavy pivot last year. Sometimes you need an opportunity to take a breath and think about what needs to change.
Fields had 10 designed runs last night. He had 18 last season.
I grabbed Jones and Fields last week. Started Jones yesterday but it’s Fields turn next week. Jones has a bye so it’s not really a decision but Fields is the obvious start over Jones now.Trending the right way FF wise, 3 straight productive games.
HmmmmmI'm starting Fields over L Jackson until Jackson's weapons get healthy.
Love what I am seeing. His completion % is up, yards per attempt is up, throwing TDs and eating teams up on the ground. I would have loved to see them trade for Elijah Moore or Jerry Jeudy. His last 4 games project out to a 3000 yards, 21 TD season with another 1100 and 8 on the ground. Very Jalen Hurts like. Also this could be really good for Mooney. He is a guy to get in leagues where the drafter has given up or is close to.Trending the right way FF wise, 3 straight productive games.
A WR that plays smaller than his size who falls down during jump ball situations instead of dominating the point of the catch against smaller DBs?!?Claypool is exactly what this offense needed.

Well, here’s his chance to be The Man. It‘s the best situation he‘s been in since his rookie year.A WR that plays smaller than his size who falls down during jump ball situations instead of dominating the point of the catch against smaller DBs?!?Claypool is exactly what this offense needed.
I'm not going to continue bashing him. However, that was by far his best game since his rookie season. Maybe a change of scenery will do him good but I don't know many Steeler fans who are unhappy with the trade. Maybe it works out for both teams.A WR that plays smaller than his size who falls down during jump ball situations instead of dominating the point of the catch against smaller DBs?!?Claypool is exactly what this offense needed.

I was listening to the all-sports channel from Pitt after the trade yesterday, it was a Chicago bash fest and how Pitt stole that pick. Never once did they mentionBen R’s rag arm or their current qb situation while he was there. If the trade doesn’t work out, it’s a relatively low price to find out.

He's big but doesn't use his body to box out defenders on contested balls, and is usually bad at high pointing passes. Lacks getting separation from defenders as well, as his route running needs work.I think the knock on Claypool has been he’s big and fast but actually not very good down field or in contested situations. I could be wrong but that’s the impression I’ve gathered.
And you can’t accurately grade Fields without getting him some help. It’s far from a lost year for Chicago as you will know where you stand with Fields. I was so mad when the Bears passed on Claypool for Kmet, thinking GB would take him to replace Adams.I was listening to the all-sports channel from Pitt after the trade yesterday, it was a Chicago bash fest and how Pitt stole that pick.

It will definitely be interesting to see what happens. I definitely don't think they were using him correctly there, and Big Ben having a noodle arm at that stage in his career was definitely a factor. What excites me most about Claypool is that his metrics are very similar to Davante Adams, and he just has not had a QB thus far. So the potential is there at least. I think at the very least it helps Fields a lot. I think Fields becomes similar to Jalen Hurts of last year, and next year he could make that "Jump" especially if they find him another weapon.
I think Pburgh won the trade since Claypool was going to be phased out anyway. Claypool will help Fields and Chicago too but a second round pick for an average WR feels steep.I was listening to the all-sports channel from Pitt after the trade yesterday, it was a Chicago bash fest and how Pitt stole that pick.

I guess I’m not buying much of what Pitt is trying to do. Supposedly it isn’t a good FA group of WR’s, so Chicago wanted to be proactive (hard to believe). GB was offering theirn2nd rounder also.I think Pburgh won the trade since Claypool was going to be phased out anyway.

I really think you have to go Fields. Rams-TB should be a slower grind it out game. No way the Bears can stop Miami, so fields will have to make a few plays.Need to decide between Fields and Brady this week......

I don't know how Fields' career will end up, but as I've said in other threads we're way too quick to write off young QBs in today's NFL. Fields is starting his 19th NFL game. We have to reserve judgement for *at least* another year in the same offense.Thread not aging well for the FIelds critics
Justin Fields completed 17-of-28 passes for 123 yards and three touchdowns in Chicago's 35-32, Week 9 loss to Miami, adding 15 carries for 178 yards and an additional touchdown.
Fields' 61-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter brought the Bears to within three and even though it's mostly horizontal, Chicago's passing game looks night-and-day different than it did in the first few weeks of the season. Fields is channeling peak Lamar Jackson's powers and playcalls, threw an absolutely filthy touchdown to Mooney, and broke the NFL's quarterback rushing record with 178. (Michael Vick had the record with 173.) A late downfield throw to Chase Claypool was somehow not ruled defensive pass interference despite him being held down by a Dolphins defender, and Fields' fourth-and-10 throw to Equamineous St. Brown was dropped. With the Lions on tap for Week 10, Fields is suddenly looking like a must-start QB1.
