Nagy definitively says Fields can’t win the starting job for Week 1

[Toast88]

Now, a lot of people are trying to obfuscate this, but pay attention to the quote and the context. It’s clear. It’s definitive.

Silverman: “We want clarification on whether that means Justin Fields cannot win the job on Opening Day.”

Nagy: “Clarification that he can’t win it—Yes, correct.”

Guys, that’s as definitive as it gets. And I love how it took a radio guy stalking the Bears ZOOMs the last few weeks to ask a question the Bears beat reporters should’ve been asking this whole time.

A lot of sports reporters are simply sycophants and afraid. Dude, no one’s pass is getting revoked over that question. There’s no reason a Bears beat reporter shouldn’t have been asking that question. And now they’re all trying to downplay it, while the national guys, rightly, are treating it as a big story.

Matt Nagy says Justin Fields can’t win Bears’ starting QB job in training camp

Matt Nagy confmired that Justin Fields won't have a chance to compete for the Bears' starting QB job with Andy Dalton in training camp.

So if Dalton gets injured does that mean Nagy will require himself to start Foles?

 

[Zion]

Way to dampen the rook's spirits there, coach. What if he's throwing for 6 touchdowns every practice, still gonna say can't?

 

[jbunch14]

I think you misheard "can" for "can't ".

 

[Dejo]

Yeah, fuck them. Trying to buy themselves some time. No damn promises, why not at least let him compete and win/lose. Just bullshit. Way to energize the fan base. Nothing against Dalton, just don’t suppress the rookie on purpose and let the best QB play.

So much for doing what’s best for the Bears. You are giving him 0 shot. Hope the national media annihilates this bullshit. Feast away.

This is not even in the same realm as KC, fucker.

If Nagy really did say that Fields can't win the starting job in training camp, I can't tell you how incredibly fucking STUPID that would be for him to do and I would want that fuckhead gone much sooner than later.

 

[Angry Boomer]

Nagy is just stalling for time until he can draw up some "Nagy Specialty" plays for Fields

He can't win the job in camp but he can in preseason. He can't win the job in camp but Dalton can lose it. Semantics.

If Nagy is being serious with this comment then he is one of the worst head coaches in the NFL. If he’s not allowing a competition, he should be fired right away.

If that's the case, he should probably just stop being a stupid asshole and say there will be a QB competition through camp and preseason.

A-FUCKING-GREED!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Anytime23]

Not the smartest coaching staff or organization, if the past 30 years haven't made that abundantly clear.

You don't have to just give Fields the job because everyone wants to see him, but to not even leave it open as a possibility is nothing short of incompetence. Best player plays. You owe that to your team.

This could be a possible explanation of what he meant about his comment. If Dalton plays during the preseason, then he had a poor camp and it’s a competition until week 1

 

[WestCoastBearsFan]

the over reactions in this thread are hilarious

there are legit reasons why you wouldn’t want fields to start week 1 even if he’s hypothetically the better QB

Dudes just a big dummy... but thinks he's being a mans-man, locker room good guy when in reality he just sounds super inept.

Nothing wrong with saying "Hey this is the NFL, every guy in that locker room is competing to start every day, every practice.." , Matt. You Goober you.

this is about the future of the franchise, if you’re legitimately concerned with wins and losses this season you’re an idiot

He is still in that KC mindset. Newsflash Nagy, this isn’t anything like KC. He should really sit all of his offensive weapons down and say….Who do you guys want to play with?

It’s not about wins or losses, it’s about not letting Fields have a shot to win the job if he’s ready to go.

 

[Dejo]

Also this, fuck your plan of total incompetence and throwing away 2021. Talk about Graham wanting to win a SB and coming back to just get bullshitted. Stupid to limit yourself. Aggravating as fuck.

Let the kid lose or win the job by his abilities. They pretty much promised without promising. Fucktards.

Justin could use the whole season to learn… stupid.
