A year ago, Bear's fans were saying if Fields does not quite live up to expectations, we can package our draft picks and get a QB. Well, here we are with Justin still needing to be better and we do not have to package picks holding that #1 golden ticket!

[@datboirai7326]

Thank you!!! This was always the plan, now people trying to switch up since it is actually becoming reality

Excellent point and I said the same thing a year ago

[@Dom2.0]

Problem is they never added weapons and a completed the line.. Next year I think they do that and it's a whole different story. We have to stop praising the Purdy of the league with all the weapons to die for and see tge game differently from the guys who don't get tge mahomes type super teams when they're drafted. You can't evaluate correctly in this situation

[@JJP316]

Justin does NOT need to be better. Were you paying attention? --Worst O-line in the league --Worst OC You think a QB is going to fix that by himslef? Did you see Williams in the USC-ND game? Had no blocking, could not do SQUAT.

Take it from a giants fan, if its been 3 years and you still haven’t proven you are the guy 100% its time for change. They would be stupid to not use this 1st overall pick to draft a qb.

[@ikenna59]

Common sense but bear fans secretly like having a mediocre qb so they have something to bitch about. 1 career 300 yd game, 24 games under 200 with some sensational runs and they lose their minds and make every excuse for him. Great kid, average at best passer. Can’t win with that

[@kenyattaclay7666]

Two COMPLETELY different situations. The problem with Jones is that he's just not that talented. What the Bears did to Fields was almost criminal with the dearth of talent that was on the team in 2022. They didn't give him one single wide receiver that could've even made the 1977 Bears rosters which sands Walter Payton was one of the worse offenses in NFL history. Then when you combine that with an OC who clearly was out of his league this was not on Fields. However right now the Bears are in a position where they can trade down to 2 or 3 still draft Marvin Harrison Jr., draft either Alt or the LT out of Penn St. & hire an OC that knows what the hell he's doing.

[@Dom2.0]

The problem with what you're saying is they have been top to bottom rebuilding and haven't given him the weapons or a line to even have a fair chance. You put him on the 49ers for example and they probably go undefeated, instead Purdy is praised but you put Purdy on the bears and they probably only win 3 games 😂

[@MoMoMyPup10]

As a Giants fan, how many years did it take for you to wrap your arms around Eli? As a Jets fan, I still regret that they took Zach over trading out for three 1's and a 2nd. I still think Fields can get where they need him to be, and loading up on talent the next two drafts would be mighty tempting for me.

He didn't get into the full eval of both QBs, but, generally, he's saying that 1. Caleb does things passing the ball that Fields doesn't (e.g. get the ball out quick, no weird windup); that Caleb is a special, albeit imperfect, QB. 2. Justin is a Good, Not Great starting NFL QB, but you will need to pay him Great, Not Good money soon (see Daniel Jones situation) 3. it makes more sense to draft a higher rated QB who will be on a cheaper contract than the other options. Again, not saying I agree, but that is what he is saying.

[@Slimkidd730]

Because its too late and not enough sample size. Bears fans want to switch up and didn't give Fields benefit of the doubt and called him a bust when their organization has sucks offensively since they existed.

[@ranchthetrapper8880]

If this was a Kenny picket like QB draft then duh stick with Fields. But bears arnt passing on this unique opportunity just to see if Justin may or may not work out on his last year with his 3rd oc on his rookie contract.

[@silver33]

The only time the Bears won't draft Caleb if some team offers some crazy deal like 3 or 4 1st rounders.

[@palmdaddy412]

What nobody is talking about re: salary cap and keeping Fields is that by trading down from #1 overall the Bears will be able to fill holes at other positions with the expected haul in picks they receive. Not saying this is the route they go but you're missing a big part of the equation by not including the savings from a bevvy of rookie contracts vs. filling via FA.

[@judegreider3310]

i mean if you wanna bring salary cap into it let's do it. if they keep fields he's going to demand getting paid. there's no way a qb plays on his fifth year option, all that money you so smartly thought you're saving by moving down a couple draft picks (then using those picks to select other high first round picks who are just as expensive) with all that money you're going to just have to give it to fields. draft williams bozo

[@Dom2.0]

Guys, see the field and recognize all of the factors of football. Jordan Love and CJ have great coaches, good to great lines, and multiple WRs that create separation, understand leverages, and find the soft spots in zones for their QBs, Justin has NONE of those things. 1 good WR and a weak o line doesn't get a single QB in the nfl anywhere.

Dan Jones' deal was 4 @ $40M which is a tad more than what this years #1 Overall Pick is projected at (1 year vs. entire rookie deal). So, if the Bears followed the Dan Jones scenario precisely they would spend 3x what they would pay for the #1 Overall Pick over four years. If the Bears pick up the 5th year option and then start franchsing, it's worse than the Jones deal. The math doesn't add up, Poles has to use the #1 pick on a QB or try to roll the hard six with Fields or trading down.

We need a better center regardless of the qb. A center is not exactly a position you would pick in the top ten of the draft or maybe even in the first round. They could get a quality one in the 3rd round if they don't get a 2nd round pick back, which, if they're taking Williams at 1, then they're trading Fields, and they'll likely get back that 2nd rounder for Fields, so they can pick a center in the 2nd round. Maybe they get one in free agency. We don't know.

He's an extremely talented and trait heavy player, but playing hero ball and dancing in the backfield to get a home run play doesn't work nearly as well in the NFL as it does when you are facing bottom half of D1 Pac-12 pass defenses.

[@Scenescout55532]

If the Bears get a true alpha OC it will be like 1985 again but in reverse. Essentially two head coaches, one for offense one for defense.

[@pachena]

Bears have to take Caleb, otherwise Love and Goff will dominate the next 5-10 years.

[@spike3082]

Go ahead and take Caleb aka Ryan Leaf 2.0 and continue to be dominated by DET GB while JF is winning multiple Super Bowls and MVP'S making the Bears look stupid all over again

[@Blackrain7920]

Who cares what he thinks it's always a so called generational QB he probably said that about Young last year

[@voodoorage2710]

Run Rich run

[@darkrebel2177]

So because Fields is such a good quarterback bears should get a first round pick in trade for Fields.

[@TR-ju5re]

They probably could. Wont say whether that's right or wrong but they probably could.

[@soulbeatzmajor]

Caleb is fools gold..Don’t let the media trick you into believing an overblown narrative of generational talent because it’s just talking points for his talent not the situation this talent is going into . The bears defense has gotten better but that offense overall, there’s not enough meat on the bones

[@swat686]

Now, if CW turns into Ryan Leaf or Jamarcus Russell (Hypothetically speaking) and JF1 go somewhere and turn up. Watch how they gonna flip on Ryan Poles and Chicago Bears ownership. They gonna say how Bears had something in Justin traded him now look at them. Bad News Bears

[@raven-19x]

Yeah he gonna turn up like Mitch Trubisky! 😂

[@swat686]

Maybe so we’re gonna find out next season after they trade him. Mitch in 2017 had the 9th best defense. 2018 had the 1st best defense. 2019 the 4th best defense. 2020 the 14th best defense. Nice offensive player around him on offense with a good offensive line. But, can only managed one winning season. Most of our points came off defense. Drop JF in that situation the out come would have been way better

[@judeupchurch9258]

Bears take Williams, Patriots trade for fields, Patriots take Marv harrison Jr, boom

All the media trying to push this JF1 trades then he wins a Super Bowl somewhere else then Poles and coach gets fired then beats us back to rebuild mode LMaO

[@kapmaw2]

No way should they take Caleb Williams. Drake Maye is better. Most of the Williams highlights are the dude getting stupid amounts of protection and then hitting a guy who is fairly wide open. Drake Maye on the other hand, gets the ball out in under 2 seconds and anticipates coverage, oftentimes hitting a receiver in a tight window. Drake Maye is better.

[@shottyblast1129]

They said Williams didn’t have a lot of time and was taking sacks because of his o-line couldn’t protect and WR’s couldn’t get separation. But his backup QB threw 6 TD’s w/ that same line and receivers.

He doesn’t want to play for Chicago!! He’ll pull an Eli Manning seriously STOP WANTING TO DRAFT HIM! He has said multiple times he doesn’t want to play for Chicago! Why draft someone who has been openly against joining the bears. If Poles is smart he’ll pass on him, because if he gets drafted he is not going to sign that rookie deal.

[@Reckdee1]

So basically he went through the same thing fields did bad oline idc how good he is JF1 can be great with the proper coaching and an actual legit o line we dnt need any unneeded drama of who’s our qb we have our guy JF1 is our future im a season ticket holder I will legit sell it and become a ravens fan tired of these analysts that ain’t even from Chicago out there opinions nothing but respect for dj and eiseman but man you and the rest of the media are just ruining our qbs confidence WE WANT FIELDS TRUST THE FAM PROCESS!!

It’s not the end all be all, because at the end of the day the NFL is a business with grown men, but I’d be concerned taking a QB that none of his teammates liked that high. Not saying I wouldn’t, but that’s gotta be something NFL teams will deep dive into.

[@Sleezygem]

His teammates loved him. Research him and his teammates it’s not hard to see how they felt about him

[@danhelm718]

Seems like you fell for the fake news. There is absolutely zero evidence his teammates didn’t like him.

[@KB-hs1vp]

Sounds like Fields but a smaller version of him with no offensive line

[@richmargin6082]

Bears have just a horrible o-line. So we can expect a bad year from caleb then? Cause if he needs a o-line to play well, they should just keep fields. Anyone can play better with a good o-line

[@maashmedia8958]

Here's what's wild. Some media circles say Justin could fetch a 1st round pick, even in a deep Quarterback class, he's still valued at 1st round pick. Why trade him? You could trade the top pick this year to the Patriots for multiple picks, they get Drake Maye, he busts anyway at one. Caleb goes to Washington with whatever mess they set up there, and we got multiple 1st rounders, MHJ, and hopefully a competent offensive staff our window gets pretty large for years to come if we do. You're an attractive franchise that way, and you have a guy, that the best players in this league want to go and play for. That type of value for a player who's show signs of progression as well and you added 4 wins to your roster in year 2 of a rebuild. For a guy like Ryan Poles who wants good culture guys with lots of talent, CW has to be Superman, he'd have to be. Rookie mistakes would be accepted but only once every few games. He'd have to be better than Stroud or close to it, which is the exception, and not the rule.

Yeah if he's on the literal best team in the league he'd be ok-ish, but otherwise he's awful

[@BlindedBySight]

Please trade Fields and I'm a Fields fan. His confidence has clearly dropped. Look at Hurt's regression this year. No one can function at a high level with mediocre coaching, limited weapons, constant doubt, criticism and ridicule while trying to learn, grow, develop and win as a NFL QB1...for the Chicago Bears.

[@psygolf7120]

Having to rely on an offense’s QB talent alone gets you another 7-10 season at best. Trade it, load up on blue chippers…not extra 3rd/4th rd picks whose names will be forgotten in a couple of years. Rocket science, I know.
