Im really disappointed with how the Bears handled his entire time here. Pretty unfair for the kid. The fact they surrounded that kid with Mooney and Claypool for years only to make improvements on the OL, sign Swift and trade for Keenan just as they kick him out the door is sheisty.

He had DJ Moore and didn't do as much with it as you'd hope. He also had guys like Montgomery with fresher legs and didn't do anything. I mean no...they never put the same level of talent all around him as Caleb/Maye/Daniels is going to be walking into. But i think it's also exaggerated just how much they hung Fields out to dry. His play was a big part in what made everyone around him look bad too, and drove more than one WR to completely check out mentally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They passed on Stroud last year to get him a legit #1 WR and traded a 2nd for Claypool. What OL improvements have they made this offseason?

Like you could do a conditional 2025 pick that becomes a first if Justin Fields is the Superbowl MVP, a 2nd if he starts in the Superbowl. a 3rd if he wins a playoff game he starts, a 4th if he plays 51% of the snaps, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams is at least a top tier prospect unlike the other two guys. Smart Organizations don't draft 3 seperate so called FQB in the 1st rd (2,11,1) a 7 year span. To be clear!

They gave Mitch 4 years / Fields 3 years to prove they could be a franchise level QB, neither did. I’d roll the dice on QB early every year until I found a star. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
