and as much as I hate to say it, Poles almost traded 3 first rounders for Russell Wilson. SO glad that didn't happen.

You didnt see the difference in rhythm?

I think Poles is doing OK. We started with nothing, and I think the 2024 roster will be tight. The rest? You know I agree 100%.

dude its two+ years of bad play from Fields. Hes been taking forever to throw his entire NFL career. The idea was maybe he would learn and grow so his other extra skills could make him dangerous. Here you saw an experiment. same defense same day, and the difference was obvious. Bagent was an undrafted rookie in his first start with no preparation before coming off the bench.

ah! he got hit as he threw - damn. That was gonna be a TD too. The reason the defender was able to get back to the ball was that he was beaten by the receiver.

LOVE it - it looks so smooth. It looks like football!

Its not an emotional thing - its on tape. You change that one variable, and everything looks markedly different, how could we NOT notice? I want the Bears to be good. Im a Bears fan more than I am a fan of any player or coach on the team - especially when they are holding us back.

LOL It's a great start, I dunno what it means for Bagent, but it sure indicts JF as a real problem.

Yeah Im not really saying anything about the future of Bagent (yet!) but he sure exposes Fields so bad. Just look at the spark our team has right now. They believe in Bagent more than Fields. Maybe they didnt even know that about themselves, but it's right there on the field.

I'm not saying Bagent is the future or the best QB ever or anything, but I think we can now see CLEARLY how slow Fields is in making his reads. After the mountain of BS the last two weeks, can we see how bad JF is at playing QB?

what? rhythm? timing? a first down? Two?

That is what passes with timing look like.

If he doesnt get more playing time to prove anything, I think youre right.

NICE play by Stevenson!

The announcer just said it too - take the training wheels off. Play football, or go work in an office. This staff has too much fear.

a slant wont beat 8 in the box, but you dont have to hold the ball very long to throw intermediate routes.

Fields' release really is very slow, so everyone looks so crisp after him, and Bagent is a fast release guy for sure. As for results, I'm looking to see the rest of this game. I want to see Getsy call regular plays. For example, Bagent was 3 for 3, then two fast throws to the sidelines and hes 3 of 5. Stop trying to baby him. It feels like the coaches are trying to play QB from the sideline with scheme. It's not Madden. Let your QB play the game.

Also, Getsy is trying the quick throws to protect Bagent. Dude, stop protecting people and run the fkng offense. Attack them, stop being so scared. Bagent looks like he can read fast enough and get the ball out.

Bad snap on the quick throw to DJ made it come late. Whitehair!!!

Ok that was the deepest ball Ive seen Bagent throw. Nice ball.

Thats right. And Foreman is right there on the bench. They really dont get it. Our coaches are AWFUL.

yup. Lets see Tyler Bagent's best impression of Dan Marino against this pressure defense. Just to see if there is a contrast.

The vikings seem to be taking away all the short and middle routes, challenging us to beat them deep. On that last play Mooney was streaking, Fields looked at him, but didnt pull the trigger.

OK, Fields had time there, and was slow making decisions.

They need to ride Foreman this half.
