If Barry's game plan can slow down their run game and contain Moores YAC, this should no doubt be a W. I couldn’t imagine the level of sadness Bears fans would experience if Love tosses 3-4 TDs and Fields still can’t throw the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to get too confident, but the reality was starting to creep in with Bears fan in week 3 preseason gameday thread. I'm keeping expectations low for the season. Just want Love to look like the next franchise QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A majority of the season’s success will be based on how Jordan looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say a larger factor impacting this season's success will be how close the defense plays to the level of talent they have on that side of the ball. I can't pretend to have much faith that Barry has things figured out, but the defense shown enough flashes over the past couple seasons to at least think it's possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I think injury luck is going to make the difference between this team going like 11-6 and 6-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not expecting to compete this year. If Barry can’t get it done, we move on. No harm no foul . Much easier to find a DC who can utilize this talent than to find a QB.

Mazrimiv Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I guess it depends on how "success" is defined. In my book, a 6-11 season that sees Love play well and gets Barry fired could be labeled a success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Kevin Harlan said that Joe was entertaining the idea of staying in the booth. I like that. Very few posters have been more rude to Barry than I have been, but the defense has seemed active and cohesive in their preseason showings.

I'm one of the biggest Joe Barry haters, but I have to give him one more chance here to get his **** together, there is simply too much talent on the roster for the defense to just flat out suck.

Still forces it to his first read because he can't get through his progressions. He just doesn't look comfortable throwing in the pocket. The difference between his footwork and what Love is doing is really noticeable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Vince Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 It's hilarious how much Fields is getting killed by the Bears fanbase over that Bills game. He's went from He's the best QB we've ever had to we need to draft another QB next year. Some are calling for some rookie backup to be the starter. They're killing him on social media. I hope they do use that draft capital for a QB next year. Just happy they won't get the top two prospects who most likely will be going to Arizona and the Rams.

Until he proves he can get through his progressions and keep his eyes up after read 1 is covered, he's going to suck. Let's review his preseason. Game 1: Threw three completions all behind the LOS and Bears fans were ready to induct him into the HOF. Game 2: Didn't play! Game 3: Looked like the same guy he was last year. A running back playing quarterback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears HOF would be accurate 🤣🤣🤣 Slight upgrade over Jim McMahon and Rex Grossman. Edited August 28, 2023 by St Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
