I said it would be “unfortunate” for Caleb if he got stuck with Getsy. But at least he’d be a more experienced version of himself. I can’t be any more clear.

It’ll be unfortunate for Caleb, but it’ll likely be a better version of Luke than Justin got. I don’t see how experience doesn’t factor in for an OC at all. What I’m saying isn’t controversial.

JFC man. All I said is a “better version of Getsy.” Doesn’t necessarily mean elite or even good. So you’re saying no matter how much more experience, Getsy can’t/wont get “better?” Do I have that right? Because you can’t be saying anything else.

I said what I meant.  If you can point to where I said “no matter how much more experience, Getsy can’t/won’t get better” then yeah I said it.  You can’t though, because I didn’t say it.

Getsy has more experience this year than he had last year - so he must be better right?  But you still find him being a bad OC to be a valid excuse when Fields plays poorly.

If Getsy being his OC is a valid excuse for Fields to play poorly after 35 NFL starts, it should be a valid excuse for Caleb Williams to play poorly in his first NFL game.  If you think otherwise, it is because of the wildly different standards you’re already holding the two quarterbacks to.

Shouldn’t be complicated or remotely controversial.  If having Getsy as your OC is a valid excuse for poor play it should be a valid excuse for rookie Caleb Williams just as it is for third year Justin Fields.

If it isn’t a valid excuse for rookie Caleb Williams, it should also not be a valid excuse for third year Justin Fields.

Nothing remotely controversial about that.

Yes half an hour you made a marvelous argument against a thing zero people anywhere were saying as a means to totally avoid the thing I clearly was saying

Let’s put it this way - if the expectation is that a third year of Getsy would be so much improved that it’s no longer a valid excuse for poor QB play, then if they keep Fields they should probably keep him too rather than put Fields in a position where he has a third new OC in a year with huge money on the line.

Point to where I said he has shown no improvement.

I can point to a dozen times I explicitly said the exact opposite but I would love for you to show me one time I said the thing you’re trying to make an argument against.

Yes - so if the expectation is that Getsy’s third year will be improved in a way that his play calling will no longer be a valid excuse if the QB plays poorly, then it’d be really unfair to Fields to fire him in a show-me year.

Fields since the Commanders game on October 5th:

3.5 games.  667 yards (190 per game, over 3.5 games), 2 TD, 1 INT, 86.51 passer rating.

267 rushing yards (76 per game, over 3.5 games), 1 rushing TD, 3 fumbles.

He had a great stretch for the Broncos/Commanders games, no doubt.  Since then he has regressed back into a mediocre quarterback.

I hoped, like all Bears fans, that those Broncos/Commanders games were Fields turning a corner as a passer.  All indications to this point are that he hasn't done that.[/b]

I’ll allow that you’ve likely said “improved over thoroughly mediocre,” but 2nd in the NFL would be somewhat better than slightly improved over mediocre, no?

Correct.

Passer rating in the mid 80’s since the Commanders game.  Mediocre in the passing game.

3.5 games, 66% completion, 667 yards (190 per game), 2 TD 1 INT, 86.5 passer rating (89 is the league average).  Are these killer passing stats and I just don’t know what good numbers look like?  Over 17 games it’s about 3200 yards, 10 TD, 5 INT.

There’s a reason so many of these tweets you quote say “in the last five full games” (ie ignore football that he actually did play) or “since week 4” (not since week 6).  He had two phenomenal games against, at best, average passing defenses.  And since those games he has reverted to the same mediocre passer he has been.

I never said that. You’re “extrapolating.” I said he’d at least be a more experienced and likely better version of himself. I never once said he be actually good.

If he’s “reverted,” how is he 2nd in the league in adjusted pass completion? He was once first by a mile?

So if Caleb Williams has Getsy as OC and is bad, and I said “well Getsy sucks, can’t blame Caleb for that”, you will say “yep I agree, it’s because of Getsy”?
