But let’s not act like JF doesn’t still ooze potential. QB development is not linear and he’s shown unbelievable flashes.


I basically agree with your entire opinion. If only Justin showed more consistency this year as a passer the decision would be pretty easy. Also, he misses a handful of games each year due to injury so you have to understand that part.

Overall I think the Bears hype will be huge this summer after all the dust settles.

I’m still waiting for someone to tell me why and how Williams will be an upgrade as a rookie over an experienced Fields…

Yea, if a dude isn't very good but has awesome flashes in year 1, that's cool.

If a dude is only giving you glimpses but the other 99% of the time he's just an objectively bad QB, and year 3 is coming to an end, that's not good.


I've mentioned it once or twice and would ask again, who is the comp of a highly drafted dude who actually played his 1st 3 seasons and was never a top 20 QB, then eventually went on to become a really good and reliable QB.


You usually have a good idea by year 2 and basically every QB I can think of popped by year 3 of actual playing games.

Yeah honestly the thing about Fields that scares me more than anything is how reckless he plays. When he is at his best, he is running around making insane backyard off-script plays. He’s a nightmare for DCs to game-plan against. However, this style of play takes major punishment on the body. I don’t want my franchise QB for the next decade taking the shots he takes.
