I’m not sure he cracks the top 8

On the list of why the Bears lost today, Justin Fields doesn’t crack the top 5.

Lolwut? He quarterbacked an offense that produced eight three-and-outs. He absolutely is in the top 5. Shit, top 3 even.
Official winner of the HQ Tallest Midget award. Thanks, Jobu!

If the Bears had gotten good quarterback play today, they almost certainly win the game.

Well yeah, I don't think anyone is surprised by this dude.

You find him to be completely above all criticism in every situation.  I've literally never seen a guy so consistently immune from criticism and accountability for his own play.

Toughest defensive line (and best defensive player) in the league vs an overmatched line on the road. Bad play-calling (which you admitted) multiple critical drops. Cant run effectively at all. Poor clock management. But yeah, the quarterbacks numbers weren’t pretty and that’s why we lost. SMH

You're obviously never going to find any criticism of the guy valid, ever.  That just couldn't possibly be more clear.

It's really fucking weird.  Legitimately cannot think of a single analogous situation, where every mistake and bad game someone plays is blamed on something - ANYTHING - else for multiple full seasons.  Other than, as I've already mentioned, Weber.

The guy is absolute teflon.

Tonyan and Mooney drops both win the game if caught. Bears maybe have a better chance to tie if Scott catches the 1st ball last drive. A ball even ThePAMan agreed needs to be caught. Sure, he made up for it the next catch, but critical time was lost on the drop.

He wasn’t perfect. Or even HOF level today. He didn’t need to be. His teammates and coaches let him down. Again.

I hope Tonyan was quoted after the game as saying “we win with better quarterback play.”

If we're going to count the WR drops (ignoring that one was literally a tipped hail mary with a WR falling onto his back), do we also count the two pick sixes the defense dropped?

Or do we only do the "hypothetical" thing if it confirms our biases?  My guess is if I came here ranting about that sort of stuff you would make fun of me.  Unfortunately, I don't need to do the hypothetical to show he hasn't been very good.

Or replacement level.

You are so fucking right though, Justin Fields isn’t at an All-Pro level. Launch him.

I love how when I point out that he's completely immune to all criticism in your eyes you tried to prove me wrong by saying "he wasn't perfect, or even HOF level today".

No fucking shit?

That’s absurd. A replacement level QB loses that game by 14 no problem.
