An old boss of mine said, "choose your battles carefully, because you don't know the hill you'll die on". I understood the first part instantly, but the second required some more counseling.

Paragraph one. Opinion one Paragraph two. Opinion two. Like I said, just busting your balls for fun, brother. This is an opinion site for fans. So opinions are required...??

I find it odd that this thread is titled "back to reality" and first two paragraphs begin with personal opinion. Sorry Stinger, had to bust your balls for that. My reality, based on statistics, wins and losses and execution tell me Fields is gone. He has proven to be a more athletic Mitch Trubisky. That being said, Poles must have conviction on one of the top QBs. If it's a solid conviction, you take him at one. Can't take a chance on someone else taking him. My pick is Maye. Now that QB is off the board, there's no way we can get MHJ without trading back up. It would be a steep price, because we don't know who covets him. Poles has shown us that he probably won't do that. In comes Brock Bowers. He may be a bigger difference maker than MHJ. TE's that run a 4.4 and have glue for hands are rarer than WR's not named Moss or Megatron. Bowers is my pick. With a FA side of Tee Higgins. It's going to be a crazy 4 months of cuts, trades, FA signings, extensions and draft choices. May the dominos fall our way. Bear down!

It's just stupid...?

We couldn't be so lucky. This draft is ridiculous. I can't wait for a draft site to be credible...

Yes, current. Fields is barely better than Trubisky, who you roundly bounced. Eye test, stats and wins say, they are one in the same. You can argue eye test all you want. The rest is etched...

It doesn't matter who replaces Fields. The are 10 elite QB's in the world and he isn't one of them. He fits in the average category, which won't get you anywhere beyond PR fluff from Halas Hall. We need to get a guy that has the "it" factor. No stopping untill that's achieved...

Three reasons. Slow release, low arm slot and lack of instinct.

Patrick is a turnstyle. Other than that, the OL can't settle into a rhythm due to Justin, not being able to "throw" the extra man out of the box. The reason Mahomes has all day is because if you blitz him, you pay. We can draft Justin's replacement and still address center and RG. If Davis is able to come to camp in shape, we'll have good depth in the middle.

The recurring themes in those three losses is Justin not being able to put a drive together to put the game away and some sort of questionable coaching. We never should have thrown a hail Mary. It should have been a sprint pass to either of the receivers that had massive cushions.(as illustrated elsewhere) Get the yards and kick the field goal if you are not trying to lose.

Sorry bro, only a McCaskey can screw it up now.

That's what happens when you have pressure to perform. Relaxed and confident players don't choke often. The quarterback instilling confidence is what changes the dynamic. Fields ain't it.

That's exactly where the spy sits. I mentioned that somewhere earlier. Fields is done.

The announcers said that the league will adjust the stat

You can only coach a one trick pony so far. They've taken away his running but placing a spy fifteen yards off the line of scrimmage. The two-fer for the defense is, that's the beginning of the deep middle that he already can't throw to. It allows the safeties to play wider and or closer for whatever they need. That's why nothing looks open after he fails in his initial progression. DC's are counting on it like clockwork.

I'm not going to give Mooney a hard time over that. That stuff isn't easy when you are bouncing off the ground.

Can't fix this dumb shit. Last play of the game...

Something must be wrong with Santos. The announcers were saying that he had a range limit they weren't going past.

That's better kid...?

You can't know or say that. If anyone knew Mahomes was that dude, he would have went higher. Now, there are guys coming out rated higher than Mahomes was. So, how do we value that? Everyone says Belichick was a genius for finding Brady. Really... Wouldn't he run up with the first pick he could?

The only QB in the NFL that doesn't make that throw is Trubisky.

This right here! Can Fields get us to the playoffs with a superior supporting cast? Yes he can. Can he put a team on his back when the cap causes us to lose some premium talent? I don't think he can. If you can't throw people open, throw slants or hit tight windows over the middle, your silly not sustainable.

Brandon Stayley is dead man walking...

Wright wore Hutchinson out both games. Hutchinson had one good play against him on the forced fumble. Fields took the blame to starting he could've stepped up.

I'm looking at this as a great game to evaluate Justin and Getsy. I hope they are in lockstep with each other this week. Anything above average is a win...
