Shutting down Fields

[greg23]

He does but he has already made tremendous strides this year.

Let's not get greedy at the end of a meaningless season.

His strides are as a running back on designed qb runs

His passing improvement is marginal at best and still poor when forced to throw (end of games)

No, how is he supposed to develop as a passer? How is he supposed to gain trust and a connection with his receivers. Why trade a 2nd for Claypool if he has maybe 4 catches with Fields at QB? How about trying to develop a connection with Velus?

This staff doesn't do much to help their QB
It took them too long to figure out they need to get Justin moving more. They don't know how to build his confidence or develop for the longterm. One of the important things is to give him a full season of experience. A full 16 or 17 games. the more familiarity and experience, the more the game hopefully slows down.

Not true at all. His oline sucks and receivers still do not get separation so that is why it is harder to go down the field at the end of games.

What about the rest of the game?

They can't get 200 yards passing.....ever

Fields will miss 2 to 4 weeks I bet. Thanks to Getsy

Well no shit we're running the ball more than any team in the modern era... going back to the 1950's... obviously our passing is going to suffer. It's not rocket science, dummy.

@Black Rainbow will get his wish. A white man will be playing quarterback for the Bears!

Oh here we go....rather than admit I had a point, make it about race.

Heres to hoping hes just unhealthy enough to miss next week.

I'm with the 'If he feels less than 100%, sit him' crowd.

The same shit, Fields is getting all the yards for the WRs by scrambling and getting them open.

Do you really think they're not throwing for 200 yards because the QB is incapable of doing so?

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Don’t throw him back out there unless he’s 100%.

 

[dentfan]

Am I the only one who thinks this is starting to make sense? Or at least sitting him a few road games.

Protect your best asset. Improve the draft pick. This seems like a very reasonable approach that I think even the local fans would be ok with.

That hit where he took a shot to his legs heading out of bounds made me agree with you. Seeing him take this last few hits makes me think he needs some tom to get healthy.

 

[Grendel2000]

No ,what they need to do is cut back on the running plays with Fields & let him pass the ball. Let him make all the mistakes passing the ball in a throw away year. They need to quit running 10+ QB sweeps & draw plays a game, like it’s high school.

10000000% correct. Thank you!

 

[Grendel2000]

They might not have a choice. If he broke his collarbone or separated his shoulder because of Luke Getsy's stupidity, he's done for the year.

If he somehow comes away from this game relatively unscathed, then no, you don't sit him. He needs the reps.

But the reps he NEEDS are THROWS. he needs to learn to read defenses and functions passing the ball against NFL defenses. Reps where it's designed QB runs teach hime next to nothing and put him at risk for NOTHING (we're not going to the Super Bowl this year...).

 

[redgrange19]

Definitely sit him next week. The season is over anyways.

Hate those snowflake fans who always want to shut down players for their protection.
