Thanks for this, really appreciate the time taken on this comment! Great info!

Damon Richmond

Do you think he can add the throwing game to his arsenal and be a top QB?

Damon Richmond

Hopefully he can add that to his game as he’s fun to watch!

Damon Richmond

We are recording it and releasing it Friday 😀

Damon Richmond

He is certainly fun to watch!

Damon Richmond

Thanks for the suggestion Noah!

Seth Patton

should definitely watch his college highlights too. Was an absolute beast at ohio state. same with cj stroud. I like that you do some googling during the video

You're right to reserve judgement on Fields. We know he's a phenomenal athlete, but that's ALL we know to start this 2023 season. Here are the givens: 1. Poor pass protection by OL. Mediocre/poor blitz protection by RB's. Kinda hard to judge how a QB is reading his progressions when he's running for his goddamned life after a second or two. 2. Poor WR's. Yes, notice how the highlights show wide-open WR's. There's a reason for that. What you won't see on Fields' highlight reel are every pass that hit a Bear WR in the hands, only for them to drop it. You won't see all the poor, lazy route-running by the WR's either. You won't see Fields throw into double-coverage, or a closed window that gets easily picked off. But with the game flowing through Fields as essentially a one-man-gang (Hello Walter Payton!) the defense slowly begins to lose respect for the WR's, loading up to stop the Bears' only means of moving the ball. Hence all the "wide open" receivers in games where the Bears are already down 14 points or more. Were the Bears bad because Justin Fields sucks at reading the field? Yes. Were they bad because they had a poor roster, poor, protection, and poor targets, setting Fields up for failure? Also yes. Are the Bears historically bad at building a team with a champion-caliber QB at the helm? History says yes. Does that mean that Fields has a low-percentage shot of ever becoming good? Also yes. That's the weird part of being a Bears fan. We don't know what we don't know... but what we end up learning is almost always terrible.

tom

a lot of potential with him but he's not there yet. he ran for over 1000 yards but as a passer he needs to improve this season in order to be seen as a "franchise QB" which every franchise wants and only maybe 10-15 teams have

Jackson Tucker

good runner but idk if he can actually lead a offense. really hasn’t shown any ability to pass consistently in the nfl

Ashley Davis

I think you mean overhated

Chris

As a Packer fan, rushing quarterbacks have been our demise over the last 10 years. The Bears added two top 10 middle linebackers this offseason, so it'll be interesting to see the new era of the Packers/Bears rivalry blossom week one. As a side note, Justin Fields is the most overrated quarterback in the NFL.

I don’t know if it would be blocked on YouTube. But you guys should react the the colorado tcu game highlights from today crazy game colorado was over a 20 point underdog. I know this is Justin fields video it’s just the recent post so I put it here lol

Trey Salter

He's 3 years in and his offensive line wasn't that strong so his improvisation was in a lot of cases necessary. Also the game is evolving so these more mobile quarterbacks are necessary. I played defensive end and outside linebacker and this dude would absolutely give me nightmares. I'm pretty sure he'll be just fine.

Noah Kim

A good compliment to this video is 22-23 Bears offensive line lowlights

Damon Richmond

This is good to know. Will be interesting to see how he gets on this season

Damon Richmond

Appreciate this info, thanks for this. Makes sense

escobert

He's young (entering 3rd season) and needs to improve in the passing game specifically reading the D and anticipating throws but absolutely showed growth throwing the ball last year. He wasn't known as a runner in college, he was a pocket QB so there's a lot of hope.

One thing that you have to keep in mind is that often the Line will be at fault for pressure on the QB, but it can also be the QBs fault. Some QBs hold the ball too long, don't want to throw short passes or scramble around hoping someone will eventually get open. QBs all need to have an internal clock: About 3 seconds, then the ball needs to come out. That's all the time the O-Line can give you.

Michael Hall

If you think that's impressive, wait until you see Trevor Lawrence.

I think you guys should watch videos of in game strategy. I know you're new to it but you miss the value of the skill set of a Qb who can move. When all your receivers are being covered, you run. Even a good O- line is only expected to block for a few seconds.
