StLunatic88 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 32 minutes ago, Bigbear72 said: Something that I have noticed (granted I don't rewatch film like many of you do) is that Fields seems to be reluctant to throw to receivers running crossing or slant routes. To me it appears that he is having trouble recognizing the difference between what he saw as open at that college level and what is considered open at the NFL level. I wonder if that will improve if and when we get better talent on the roster that he trust or if it is something that he is just going to have problems with moving forward. He seems to be still doing the college QB thing of not wanting to throw the ball unless he Receiver is wide open. Which causes him to hold the ball way too long, and then its even too late to escape the pocket. Those are things that he has to correct, because receivers are never going to be consistently wide open in the NFL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abstract_thought Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Seems like Getsy might be one-and-done as the Bears' OC. The offensive coaching has been atrocious. Bears' main offense is Fields' scrambling and the occasional 50/50 deep shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they are actually losing in a tank year. When the team is bad enough, fans start saying they instead of we 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I said at the time Mooney was 1 on 1 on that route...you have to be aggressive at some point...it was the right decision... It is no ones fault throwing the ball off a defenders helmet...it is a freak occurrence... But like I said we will never agree since you just have some weird dislike for Fields who seemingly can do no right in your eyes...along with the rest of this team most of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 It was a good game I guess. I really wanted you guys to beat us because nothing else will rid of us Rivera and crew but both teams are so bad on offense. Big Khalil Herbert fan because I'm a Hokie fan and I'd love see you guys use him more. Watching Fields reminds me so much of what we went through with RG3 although RG3 was self induced. I do hope Fields pans out for you guys as I've never had any kind of hatred towards your franchise. A lot of admiration actually. Good luck the rest of the way fellas! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Fields, he struggled with consistency and often looked anxious in the pocket. He did definitely make some good plays during his time with Bears but to be honest I don't ever remember feeling wowed by Trubisky like I am with Fields at times I think Fields was/is a superior prospect coming into the NFL based on talent and athleticism I see glimpses of hope with him. This team sorely needs to surround him with some good protection I wouldn't be surprised if our 1st round pick next year is on the OL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 This was the first game the hits showed a clear effect on Fields. Matter of time before he gets knocked out for periods of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I feel bad for Velus. That was a terrible day. He has to be feeling awful today. He actually had some nice plays and I think he can be good. But the mistakes were … pretty huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
