He has shortcoming but also has special talent. Can i say the best running QB in the league? I think so. He is improving and if he is getting better at not turning the ball over, that's huge. When they interview opposing coaches, the first thing they say is how dangerous he is to scheme against. We lose that with a rookie QB and if you compare a rookies growing pains to his improvement, what might be best for the next two yrs is to retain Justin. The best QB-WR combo in the league is Justin and Moore according to passer rating. Now if there is a generational QB in this draft, Poles will probably take him. The problem is the one they call that doesnt look like that under scrutiny. If we take a QB with the #1 pick he will get more money than Justin makes next year. The 5 th year option will cost 25 mil which with 2 more yrs of increased cap space will be a cheap price. I still think drafting a prospect after our first 2 picks will give us the best situation going forward. We have 2 yrs to develop a QB and still retain Justin's upside. We will probably get another second round pick in a trade back , maybe at that point or later. Several examples of later picks thriving in the NFL right now. Prudy, Howell, Browning, plus Hurts and Wilson are still in top half of the league. Dont forget the upside of Bagent with a couple yrs of development. We are a better team with 3 potential starters on our roster for 2 more yrs than the prospect of what teams with injured QBs are going thru now.

If we get the second pick that is not chump change, you could still get a bunch of assets for it. Especially after the second picked QB last year turned out to be the better choice.

Read a story on Bleacher report ( national writer) where he says that Fields increased his trade value with a win today. It amazes me how they have no idea what's going on in Chicago. Every time he plays well , he moves the arrow down on leaving. He's not even close to being first tier in the league but how a couple of coaches have called him, the most dangerous man in the league at QB. Defenses have a huge problem defending him because of his feet. If Poles decides to move on from that, that will be hard to find again. His passing skills keeps improving, maybe one day he puts it all together. If I could change just one thing today, it would be a good center.

With the Bears losing so much over the last 2 yrs, its hard to stay excited but they have now won 2 in a row over winning teams. As the season plays out we will know what this team is, if they win 3-4 games , that's 8-9 wins, that's a team getting better. That means Poles plan is working. Odds of him moving on from that are slim. If he works his magic with the first pick again we could add 4 or 5 blue chip players to this team. Our future is bright.

I seen one interview where he said he was his best friend. People bond when they spend time together. He will have his best season ever with JF1 at QB. They have the highest QB rate between QB-WR in the league.

I'm not saying he wont be a good QB but definitely not generational. He got his hype from winning the Heisman last yr but hasnt played in big games.

Finally players getting better, Flus actually being more aggressive. Poles was smart for building a good DB backfield and now a pass rusher. you hold the second ranked offense to 13 points that's worth a shot of tequila. You resign JJ and add another pass rusher and this kind of thing will happen weekly.

It's a long shot, but strange things happen in the NFL.

We are where we're at, we win out and our negativity related to the team goes away. That's why you have to wait for the full season. If we make the playoffs, I guarantee everyone will be back. It's funny how the season plays out. We just beat the second ranked offense in the NFC. I suspect 8-8 going into the GB game. It will be nice to play a game that means something. Since we have the most dangerous QB ( not my words) in the NFL, hopefully Getsy uses him right. We got a chance.

We just beat one of better teams in the league ( 9-3) and it wasnt close. Teams can get better players can get better. The last 4 games will define our future.

Adam at 9-8 are we in playoff contention? (dreaming a little bit)

Is it to early to say we may be able to win the last 5 games?

Its interesting what a pass rush can do.

Lions are tired, run them around.

Now roll out Justin and run or pass, keep leaving in the pocket and that plays into lions plans. The best running QB in the league and Getsy doesnt use his strenghts.

Are we really complaining while we are up by 15 points with 9 min. left? Time to relax a little bit, totally think we will win this game now. Goff will make mistakes.

It will take 2 TDs to win, now pressure Goff and we wont have to count on Justin to win the game for us. This takes their running game away.

That's how you can win with Justin, use his feet.

When he gets time , he makes plays.

A TD will put the game away.

That one point will come into play.

OL not having a good day.

A perfect pass , finally some time yo throw.

What's missing from the scripted first 15 plays? Fields running the ball.

How many more wins would we have with a competent center?
