In no way am I giving up on him yet.
He looked fucking lost today...He had no football rhythm. He was tripping over people and was looking for a collapsing pocket more than his receivers. It seemed like his first instinct was to think about where to run and then think about throwing the ball. He is also forgetting to set his feet on throws on the run. He was playing on pure athleticism today and forgot several fundamentals.
Its not all on Fields. Teams are taking away the bootleg. Bears will need to adjust.
Also, the Bears are one of the least talented teams in the NFL. That is pretty apparent. They will need to focus on getting a WR and better Olinemen.
Like running the ball, passing..in between 60/40 or 65/35 in some situations…
There is a magic bootleg balance.
They can’t “guess” right if you mix in screens, deep shots, runs, bootleg left, bootleg right, and then a little Harbaugh/Kap option game.
Not a lot, but you can teach fields to be dangerous with that.
His Arsenal is just limited. Usually it’s best to groom a QB with a veteran team around him, but we don’t have that luxury.
Pierce is well made for Soldier Field soft grass. We are lucky to get out of that skirmish with a win.
