I'm going out on a limb here in guessing that just about every Bears fan on Planet Earth was pleased with how Fields played today and the composure we witnessed from this young, talented man.
My guess originally was, assuming we got off to a rocky start, that by Game 4 when we're at home facing the Lions he would be starting. If things were going a little better - say we're playing .500 ball or something, it could be as late as Week 8, when we take on the 49ers, again at home.
You will find me right as always now that Trubs escaped the shit show around him. Now Fields will bust and for the same reasons.
Problem is Mahomes would suck with Nagy calling the plays. New hope come when a new coach gets here. I don't care who is at QB, Nagy will hold him back. Sorry to crush your new hope but the problem was never the QB IMO. I do think Fields is very talented but well Nagy. enough said. Fields over Trubs overall but it won't matter.
I still do not understand Nagy retaking back play calling. Thought Lazor did a better job. I really feel a lot will hinge on LT & RT play this year. Peters & Ifredi have ok season this could work out even with Nagy calling plays... but please dear Lord, anything more than 4 Wr bubble screens a game I'll start drinking heavier.
Somewhere out there in the Bears OC dustbin of history, Gary Crowton angrily shakes his fist at you.
Yeah, it was so tough having a good line in two of his four years (and in the second half of 20), a legit #1 WR in Robinson, solid secondary weapons, and an elite defense. All good enough to carry his sorry ass QB play into the playoffs for 2 out of the past 3 seasons.
Nah man he just dominated the pre season. Look out
You're hopelessly deluded
We ran those short plays because it's all we could ever dream of trusting Mitch with.
Blasphemy. Trubs is better than mahomes and watson and will win more superbowls. So ive heard at least.
We pity each other then. Good luck in life and crossing roads safely.
Was it? So when he fails with Fields it still won't be clear to you or Rich will it. Mitch is average sure, but the coaching and play calling was below average. Every other QB under Nagy looked worse then Mitch did. Name me the players that have grown under Nagy? Mitch should not have been drafted when he was but he was good enough to win with if we had a real OC calling the plays. Remember Moab your team is one injury away from the basement. So don't be so high and mighty because your fall is coming real soon.
Too bad they could not carry the sorry coaching and predictable play calling also. Did Mitch work out? nope. But neither will anyone else under Nagy and Nagy is still here. I hope this 3 to 5 win season wakes you up.
