Yes the smart move is to move forward with a guy who has shown zero ability to be consistently above average over 38 starts and will be expensive to keep a year from now.

Recency bias is extremely strong so I’m sure everyone will do like you’re doing and forget Fields has been mediocre as fuck for weeks coming into today and they’ll keep Flus and Fields, with another new OC.

It’s begging to be disappointing next year, and I’m sure they will be.

We’re really looking to throw deep up 20 with less than 2 minutes left. SMH

You’d be fucking nuts to hand this team off to Caleb Williams. Trade that pick and build a roster that will be built to win for 5-7 years. JMO.

It won’t be, because to keep the QB you will need to hamstring the rest of your spending.

The Fields window is undoubtedly shorter.

The Bears are young and would have a lot of draft picks and have a cheap left tackle. They are not a slave to the rookie contract.

Paying any dude a $100m+ deal is undeniably going to hamstring their ability to get / keep the other playmakers on the roster, just like it has with other teams (even teams paying better guys that much).

Fields better prove he’s good enough to lift guys that aren’t elite talent if they end up giving him a big deal.

At this point we’re hoping he can look like he did today more than once every 4-6 games.

Giants almost pulled it off today. CBS just showed the Bears still “in the hunt?”

Trading out of that top pick could be our “Herschel Walker trade.” It makes so much sense to do it.

There just isn’t a way for it to make sense to me.

It’s obviously a near ideal scenario if Justin Fields had shown out this year and proven he could be the guy with some consistency, but he undeniably didn’t do that.

I know you think I just hate Fields like PAMan (who is mostly just trolling you) but I was fully supportive of trading the top pick a year ago with the idea that Fields would finally show he could be a consistently good passer in the NFL.  He just didn’t.  The jump I expected, that you sold all last year and off-season here, did not materialize.

The Bears have never had the top pick in the SB era until last year.  Now they’ve had two in a row.  The idea of passing on a top QB twice to keep a guy who just hasn’t actually been very good as a quarterback yet is really, really frustrating.

“Undeniably” even though a lot of analysts have said otherwise. Did he stuff the stat sheet with passing numbers? No. Did he “show out?” Many think he did. Not that it couldn’t have been better.

Any analyst that watched him this year and says he showed he could be a good quarterback consistently is a fucking moron.

You are still selling the hope he might become that - anyone saying that has already happened has not watched this dude.  He was mediocre or worse for most of this season.

Trade that pick and get several high picks and MHJ. It’s a no-brainer. You don’t have to take a QB #1 to find one.

I agree it’s a no brainer.  The decision you described here is one of the most obvious mistakes I can imagine.  Stack the WR core and keep the QB who hasn’t been good passing the ball.  It makes zero sense.  There’s just no way to justify it except with the hope that Fields makes a nearly unprecedented jump in year 4 with another new OC.

If Fields is remotely competent next week like he was today, you know they are going to bring him back. Because Bears....
