Poll Bears 2024 qb

[Across The Field]

Totally agree.........

But JFs completion % is trash.....thats a concerning stat.....I dont blame coaching on that.

Oh I've said repeatedly Fields has a ways to go in that department. His development has certainly been stunted. That said, I think extremely predictable playcalling and the total lack of separation being produced by his WRs has also played a part in that. Getsy did little to nothing in regards to mixing up playcalling to get his guys in space. Fields has 2 years left before he needs a contract if they pick up his option, and it'll be fairly cheap since he wasn't top 10 (I think it averages out to be like $20m per over the next 2 years), and to this point he's had dogshit in regards to offensive coaching and playmakers outside of Cole Kmet and 1 year of DJ Moore. The defense rounded into form in the 2nd half of the year, but had they played that well in the first half, Chicago is likely in the playoffs this year, so they're right there.

Hold up, reports from NFL sources are that the Bears are seeking a 1st for Fields. A guy who was drafted #11, has a losing record, is a better RB than QB, and is coming up on his 5th year option meaning he isn't even cheap anymore?

If they get better than a conditional 2nd (that has impossible terms to vest and turns into a 3rd rounder) I'll be amazed.

Yeah, dude, if you give up a 1st or 2nd round pick for Fields, you need to go back to managing a football franchise in Madden.

If I was a GM, I would be completely out on trading for Fields for anything. I would be in on trying to sign him as a free agent, though, for a much lower cost. Fields is not "starting QB" material and I'd have no intention of paying him as such, but he could be a valuable "offensive flex" guy that could add some unique creativity to my offense.

Fields needs more time. At least three more seasons

Arch Manning #1 pick in '27?

Arch Manning #1 pick in '27?

Fields will lead the Bears to a SB victory in 2026, so doubt they have #1 pick. And Arch Manning will be working at a Waffle House by then.

Are we 100% certain Caleb Williams is an upgrade over Fields? And are the bears better positioned to trade away the pick and select a different QB/position later in the first.

I guess that's the ultimate question for the franchise.

 

[RobBase]

Caleb at 1 confirmed.

I want no part of Caleb. I'd trade the #1 pick for a flat out haul and roll another season with Fields and see what QB I can get in the 3rd or 4th this year as a roll of the dice.

 

[Wood20ks]

Caleb at 1 confirmed.

I was just ready to post that........

Its the smartest thing they could do.

If they are serious about CW,and after CW says he didnt wanna come to Chicago,this would be ideal for the Bears.......

Here come the Bears!!

NFL take notice.......lll

Yeah, he screams Kyler v2.0 to me.

The Bears can do a complete overhaul of their entire roster with their draft haul, kind of like how the Browns made it work in previous years up until the point of the Watson trade.

Justin is not worth a no.1 pick.....at best a second,but I kinda think a 3rd.

Bears moved up to take him with the 11th in 2021.....so I still dont see someone giving up a one......
I don't even think if a team would give up their 1st for him in 2025 instead of ths years first......

NFL fans with two eyes and an IQ over 80 recognize that Fields is not a legit NFL starting QB capable of leading any team to a playoff run. NFL GMs, however, prove time and time again that they are retarded cyclopes; so you never know.

There are a few scenarios we could conjure where a trade makes some sense. Like, for instance, if Denver wants to move Wilson, maybe they swing a trade for Fields. Chicago gets a proven short-term starting QB to allow their drafted QB to develop a little before he gets thrown into the fire right away again. Denver gets a young dynamic Taysom Hill type of guy for Sean Payton to tinker with.

Keep Fields draft CW let hem fight it out then trade the loser for what you can get

The correct, smart move is to rake Washington over the coals and trade down. Then, still don't take a QB in the first round, or maybe even the second. Get an O-lineman or two and maybe a skilled receiver like Harrison. Roll with Fields for another year and rebuild.

Then again, being correct or smart are things that Chicago is generally allergic to, so get ready for heavily discounted Caleb Williams Bears jerseys in 2025...

This is a very simple idea to grasp. They're in such a unique situation to amass a shitload of elite, young talent. They'd be beyond stupid to keep the pick and draft Caleb but I guess we'll see. It'd also be cool for them to actually get a coach who will try to develop Fields so they can know what they have instead of just fucking everything up.

 

[Wild Turkey]

The Bear's are idiots if they take Caleb Williams as he is way too soft for the NFL. I like the Kingsbury hire as not all the issue in AZ were his fault and he inherited most of the problems. I'd take McCarthy or stick with Fields and honestly, I'm not convinced they shouldn't trade the number one pick for more picks and build up the team. Spread the risk out.

I think the rest of the division has laughed at the Bears long enough. It looks as though Minny and Detroit are more competitive, but time will tell if they are intelligent enough to sustain this success.

The idea of a "QB in progress" should be an omen for fans. If you draft a guy with your #1 pick, and then insist that he just needs a better line, then a running game to take the pressure off, then a premier WR, and finally... a coach to develop him, then I don't think his playing success was ever really in the cards.

I think the point is, there is no "can't miss" QB that the Bears would be stupid not to take in this draft. Caleb Williams has considerable bust potential, but the risk of Fields not improving is considerably lower than that. Also, it's not like Williams is going to learn much from 2nd team reps, behind a guy like Fields.

It is really rare that the #1 pick ends up being worth more than what you get if you trade down for a series of picks.

If you draft a guy with your #1 pick, give him a below average/bad offensive line, horribly below average weapons, and shit coaching that doesn't help him develop, it doesn't matter who the QB is because you clearly don't know what you're doing as an organization. Don't forget - if the Bears defense doesn't hysterically collapse against Detroit & Denver and Mooney/Tonyan remember that they are professional football catchers against Cleveland, you're talking about a 10-7 playoff team.

It's not the NHL or MLB. You take a guy with your #1 pick, he's expected to shoulder the load and be good on his own terms. The so-called "elite" QBs (e.g. Rodgers, Mannings, Allen, Mahomes, Brees, etc.) don't demand 6 other elite players to magically make good on their potential. Yeah, it helps if your team has a competent running game and guys who can block and split d-backs. But I'm struggling to see why Justin Fields should be treated any differently than Kordell "Slash" Stewart, or that expectations should be any higher.

That said, I've said to keep Fields and hope he can do something in the next season or two. It would be wise to take a decent backup in the coming draft & free agency, rather than the two bums currently in the organization. Doesn't have to be someone expected to be the next Tom Brady, or certainly paid like it.
