Beating up on two sub-par teams in a row can still mislead many.
Justin Fields can look like Houdini as many have said after a play where he escapes a sack. But what happens when he overthrows a receiver or holds onto the ball too long?
That’s exactly it. He shows flashes of brilliance and before we know it, he’s fumbling the ball or throwing a terrible pass. Certainly, a shitty offensive coordinator has a lot to do with it. But remember what I said months ago about players defying coaches? This is the problem.
When that interception was thrown against the Cardinals on a first down, common sense says the ball should have been given to a running back. Instead, Fields throws a poor pass for an interception in the end zone. If Fields was smarter, he would have defied the shitty offensive coordinator and told the players that they are going to give it to Herbert or whomever was lined up.
I don’t see why the Bears still can’t draft a quarterback and keep Fields for at least one more year. Maybe if the horrible excuse for an offensive coordinator is fired, maybe the new one will be competent. Then again, since it’s the Bears making the decisions, probably not. But this franchise owes it to their fans to have an insurance policy just in case Fields regresses. I love me some Tyson Bagent. However, if someone is better and available, they should absolutely go for it.
And if Fields ends up kicking ass? Great. Then the Bears can trade that quarterback for some picks.
Your thoughts in the thread.

So…it all comes down to Sunday afternoon. Ernie, I’m gonna need some support from you here (I think we’re the only 2 Packers fans on this darkest corner of the internet).
I’m gonna be at the game and I don’t have a good feeling about it…at all. It’s not even gonna be that cold outside; high temps should be right around 35.
Our defense sucks, so even if we win Sunday we’re not gonna go anywhere in the playoffs. The Bears have nothing to lose…so, they’ll play loose and aggressive.
To my Bears friends on this site; I feel your pain. They started out in such a hole that they simply couldn’t climb out of it. But, over the past few games they’ve played pretty decent football. It’ll be interesting to see how they approach things with the draft capital that they have. Unfortunately, their good play of late might just have the idiots at the helm delay making some important/tough decisions. I don’t see the McCaskey Crime Family selling off the team anytime soon…so, the stench from above will continue.
Chucky, I wish you a speedy recovery.
Later,
Jimmy D.

Hey, Jimmy D, Ernie here, and I believe you’re right about you and me being the only Packers fans on here. Anyway, even if the Packers win and get into the playoffs they will be one and done for two reasons; 1) The defense still stinks, especially run defense, and 2) I’m not sold on LaFleur. He’s another one of those “air raid” guys and I hate that offense. It’s more flag football than pro football. But, we shall see after this weekend. Keep warm my frendt.

I’ll let both of you guys know that you don’t have to worry about the Bears. As long as they exist, it guarantees the Packers at least two wins every year.
This is not a rivalry. Why? Here’s a stat (cue Yeti). I heard on the radio that since 1992, the Packers are 48-15 against the Bears. Do you know how humiliating that is? I can’t remember much about the Bears playing them before 1993. So do you know the first time I truly remember them beating the Packers?
That would be in 1999 after Walter Payton passed. And that game was truly awful and it took a blocked field goal to finally end the damn streak.
This “rivalry” is a fucking joke.

One option the Bears could take, Fro Dog, concerning your Marvin Harrison draft idea, is they could cut a deal with the Commanders or the Patriots and trade down to No. 2 or 3 overall and give them the No. 1 on the threat that they would be willing to trade it to some other team further down the rankings. They would be trading Caleb Williams for Marvin Harrison, who they would then be able to get, and some more draft picks, but they would not get as much as they would if they traded with a near-.500 quarterback-needy team.
Then again, Caleb Williams might be too zesty to pass up on. Though, then again, there have been prodigies before who have turned out to be complete busts (Johnny Manziel, Mitchell Trubisky). Whereas passed-over QBs like Brock Purdy (Mr. Irrelevant) go on to have MVP caliber seasons. I don’t know. This is a really hard decision considering Fields and what his potential may be, and the opportunity cost of all the additional draft picks they would be giving up if they forgo the chance of trading the No. 1. If they do end up taking Caleb Williams, there will be one hell of a starting QB competition.
Oh, I also forgot to say . . . thank you, Carolina Panthers, for all your draft picks, the 2024 No. 1 overall, and DJ Moore. Sorry you have to have David Tepper. If the unlikely even the Bears end up winning a Super Bowl because of this, it will as much be David Tepper’s as anybody else’s.
