More than anything, I've been impressed with how intelligent this kid is in everything I've read about him since the draft. I knew he had all the talent in the world, but he seems to have a really good head on his shoulders too. I can't believe he wasn't a top 5 pick, he checks all the boxes and was clearly over-analyzed

He's a fuckin' dreamboat, and I love him.

I think the the thing that hurt him the most was the Northwestern game. Most of the country continues to think it's Wildcats of old stigma....of course, we know better here. A very well coached team with a tough D. We as Bear fans should be thanking Northwestern....if Fields plays great in that game, he doesn't drop to the 11 slot.

People also don’t bring up context in either game he played poorly in. Take a look at how many players Ohio State was missing and then factor in not practicing on top of both Northwestern and Indians being great defenses. Indiana played 6 or 7 games and lead the entire country in interceptions.

Dude has all the tools to be a mega star. Trying not to get ahead of myself, but he COULD be a Lamar-Mahomes hybrid which is ridiculous.

29 ACT is good but nothing special. The 3.9 pleases more as it shows application as does his retention of scheme with coaches.

He had 2 bad games in his college career. He outplayed Lawrence head to head. Sometimes “experts” over analyze to hell so much, they lose sight of what is clear as day right in front of them.

Thank you, 9ers, for taking Lance.
I agree that this likely happened with Fields.

29 is very good. Id say 30 and over is pretty special. Then you have the weirdos who get like a 34 or 35 and retake because they want perfect

And Fields kept coming. He's the kind of player you can win with on a bad day.

It’s nice not having an idiot at QB, it really is
