I mean that would be crazy, right? Unless they are not taking him. I stand by my improbable dream. Justin is coming back. They are working a trade down with the #WashingtonCommanders. #NFL
It's the final week and the #WashingtonCommanders with the 2nd overall pick have completely fucked up their QB search. They have a ton of good picks this year. Now's the time #ChicagoBears. Let them move up and take #CalebWilliams for a bunch of those picks. Take #MarvinHarrisonJr and get #JustinFields back from the Steelers. Give them something for helping you pull this off. Keep building through the draft. That's what works long-term. #NFL
I've seen #JustinFields do everything they tell me makes #CalebWilliams great. I've seen the highlights. Justin is more elusive, taller, stronger, faster. His long ball is more accurate. I'm not hearing that Caleb is an amazing pocket passer, which Justin struggled with but got better at as his protection and WRs improved. Why waste a top pick on what will be at best, a small improvement. The only argument that makes sense is the contract reset, but that's temporary. Damnit #ChicagoBears. #NFL
If you're bad enough to earn an early pick in the #NFL draft and take a QB, you have to focus everything else you have around helping them succeed. Primarily OL and WRs. And a proven OC who can call plays. Otherwise, unless they are generational, they will be hurt, lose their confidence or look like such shit that everyone will demand a new QB and offensive coordinator when their contract renewal comes up. This should be obvious. Damn did the #ChicagoBears fuck #JustinFields.
I still think there's a chance #JustinFields is the #ChicagoBears starting QB this year. That temporarily moving him to Pittsburgh was part of a plot to get the #WashingtonCommanders to give them a ton of their picks this year to move up one spot to get #CalebWilliams. I'm pathetic. #NFL
Everybody admits #JustinFields had no support and did well with what he was given. That he handled it in the media better than anybody could expect. His teammates loved him. And now just as the #ChicagoBears were surrounding him with talent, they trade him for an unknown quantity. And we only have this top pick because last year's top sure thing QB didn't turn out that way. I don't fucking get it. #NFL
From ESPN: "Breaking: The Bears are trading Justin Fields to the Steelers for a 2025 6th-round pick that goes to a 4th-round pick based on playtime, sources told Adam Schefter"
Maintaining the confusion over whether the #ChicagoBears are keeping #JustinFields or taking a new QB in the draft sucks for him, but it's also the best way to maximize the value of the top pick till they can trade it away for the most possible help for Justin in regards to WRs and OL. Or at least that's how I'd justify it to him. #NFL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zrSOiJUBh8
IMO the #ChicagoBears want to keep #JustinFields and draft #MarvinHarrisonJr. But without any 2nd round picks, they really want more than a WR for that top pick. It's expected AZ will take MHJ at 4th overall if they can, before the Bears pick again at 9th.
So they're left with only two possible trade partners if their top priority is MHJ. They need WASH (2nd) and NE (3rd) to fear the Bears want their preferred QB so they'll offer a ton to move up. That's the misdirection Poles is selling. #NFL
It's weird but nice to hear people talk about how #JustinFields could really help their team. That their team has all the other pieces in place to get the most out of him. He totally could. He's great. It's an acknowledgement that what's missing with the #ChicagoBears is the supporting staff, something that maximizing the trade value of that 1st overall pick could do a lot to help us rectify. Love the talk but hate it too. #nfl
All these QB runs...#JustinFields would've broke more than one of them for a 50+ yd touchdown. But everybody says you need a pocket passer. #ChicagoBears#NFL
Looking at WR duos in the #nfl, nobody would come close to #DJMoore and #MarvinHarrisonJr (who ran track together). Especially when considering #JustinFields as a run threat and his accuracy in long passes. Then there's #ColeKmet. I'd bet creative OC Shane Waldron came to Chicago just to see what crazy shit he could come up with using all those chess pieces. What would defensive coordinators do? I thought the #ChicagoBears might draft Caleb or trade down, but now I see pieces coming together.
The #ChicagoBears don't have a second round pick. They traded it to Washington. They need OL help and at least one WR much more desperately than an improvement over #JustinFields. They should trade number one to whoever will give them the best first and second round picks this year at least. If possible, work it out so they can trade back again. #nfl
So the #ChicagoBears take Shane Waldron for OC, a guy known for getting more out of QBs than they've shown in the #NFL so far. It's decent evidence that they are keeping #JustinFields. Smart move imo. Squeeze every QB hungry team for everything they've got for the first pick this year. Kick the Caleb talk into overdrive.
Keep #JustinFields. Fire Getsy. Get as much as you can for the first draft pick. We still need a lot of pieces and more depth. The hard call is Eberflus. He's got the players loving each other and the defense is much improved, but then sometimes it seems like the team is just not ready to play. It feels like a head coach just can't allow such inconsistency. #ChicagoBears#NFL
#ChicagoBears officially eliminated from the playoffs but we do get the top draft choice in 2024. Hopefully we trade it for a huge haul like last year. #JustinFields is him. #NFL
#JustinFields is just ridiculous. And his passing game is clearly improving. Trade back and use at least one of those picks on a WR. #ChicagoBears#atlatchi#nfl
All these QB draft prospects could be good, or they might suck. I have no hope that the #ChicagoBears organization will be anything but a detriment to their development, as I think they have been to Justin's. Keep #JustinFields, build around him and improve the coaching staff. Or I guess I should just trust Poles. Clearly the best part of the new organization.
