He needs to show he can pass next season. If he’s still a middling passer that can run as good as anybody in the league, then we’re not competing for Super Bowl, we’re just playing with our dicks.
No real argument, but in my mind if he's as bad as how you're projecting, then no doubt. I think everyone agrees that this is Fields make-or-break season, especially from a massive contract extension standpoint. But this would mean he's struggling to even get to the 3k mark in passing, let alone 4k, that he's still holding onto the ball too long, still missing his 2nd, 3rd, etc reads, still struggling to move the chains and not getting the offense into the end zone. Can't rule it out, but I think he's going to do much better than that.
I hope so. I only hear good things, but that’s pretty much all you hear at this point. We need to evaluate his value as a passer. Running the ball should only be a tiny part of that evaluation. He should be able to pass better than Lamar Jackson (who I think is fools gold if you’re trying to win a title).
Oh really? Man, then the site I copy-pasted the scheduled screwed the pooch. Guess I should have checked a few more sites.
Well here's another bit regarding two Saturday games to be played on week 18:
Not surprising that we have 4 prime time games. The Bears always get prime time games, regardless. Throw in the Fields off-season hype and I'm surprised we're not getting one or two more (or a Thanksgiving game).
I do agree with you with one caveat. I don't believe the "Bears v. Panthers" will be that oooh exciting transfer game. Nor am I that lucky. Heh.
