I just can’t imagine hearing a rival coach talk about your quarterback this way and the only thought that crosses your mind is “Can’t move off this guy fast enough!”

He is definitely “dangerous”.   He just doesn’t produce consistently in the passing game - only sporadically.

Being dangerous is great, but producing consistently as a passer is what the Bears need from a QB.

I asked yesterday but you didn’t answer - do you think being a great runner and average to slightly below average passer is a sustainable formula for a QB in the modern NFL?

Ahhhhhh, so someone with a higher passer rating.

I don’t think he’ll continue to be a below average passer. I know I know, no excuses tour is over!

Well when he shows that he can be better than below average as a passer consistently we can revisit that, but as of December 11, 2023 that is wishful thinking.  He’s in the middle of year 3.

You went on and on about him turning the corner and then he reverted into this average passer since.

I’d argue Lamar Jackson was a slightly below average passer the last two seasons (before this year). He got rewarded with a 200 million dollar contract. But yeah, I want improvement in the passing game. Upgrade the talent around him, and we’ll get it.

Do we have an offensive starter that’s ever made a pro bowl?

I would’ve thought DJ had but according to his Wiki page, he hasn’t.

He has to get through his reads faster. I've seen where read one is covered, read two is open, but by the time he gets to read two, it's covered. And if he has to get to read three, forget it. By then, he's running or getting sacked.

Guys are getting open. He's often not seeing them. I feel like he should be getting through his progressions faster by now. If he can get that part of his game down, it would greatly help him.

Has Fields ever made a pro bowl?

I see we're back to “it’s unreasonable to have expected to see more improvement from Fields as a passer because of his teammates”

If Fields wins an MVP award he will probably get a big contract too

So two full years of being a below average passer is ok, even great, as long as you won an mvp 3 years ago. Got it.

Do you want to compare Fields to Lamar?  I’m willing to but if I tried to do that I have a feeling you’d mock the idea.

It’s obviously not going to turn out very well for Fields to do that - his best passing season so far is on the level that you’re criticizing Lamar for - but we can if you want.

I’d say Lamar’s been a bit disappointing lately yeah.  He doesn’t run as much as he used to either - that’s kind of the point of wanting to see more of Fields as a passer.

Between the two of them Lamar has clearly had the better career but you’re here saying he’s been below average on a huge contract and that’s bad.  But you also want to keep a guy and give him a one year chance to earn a huge contract despite having been below average thusfar.

You’re holding Lamar to a very different set of standards than Fields.

I’m talking about the two previous seasons when Lamar wasn’t a particularly good passer.
