Daventry

Totally disagree. How no credit at all be given to the HC of arguably the most entertaining and dominant Super Bowl winners of all time is beyond me. All of the criticisms are subjective. How about we judge results for a change? Or do we want to keep blaming outside forces for success or failure? Justin sucks because of coaching right? Give me a break.

I can’t disagree with the overall dysfunction, but you could have Jesus coaching Fields and he still wouldn’t be kicking any ass.

To be clear, I don’t believe coaching can be blamed for all of Fields problems. That’s what they said about Trubisky and he went to some other teams with other coaches and hasn’t set the world on fire. Fields would struggle regardless of who was coaching him.

I am really surprised some still hold onto coaching as the reason for Fields problems. In my view, it is clear that regardless of the coaching, he is not close to being a starting quarterback in the NFL.

I wouldn’t be looking to fire Poles, he has made some very good moves. However, if we don’t start looking better pretty soon, some of the coaching staff has to go. The two that spring to mind is OC and HC. DC is already gone, and the whole thing seems to be handled pretty poorly so far.

There is a report from Rapaport that he resigned this morning. Not sure the source is reliable

Interesting development given the poor performance of the defence and media attention. Kind of makes one wonder more about the whole drama of the offensive lineman who couldn’t practice for nearly the entire preseason. Not much confidence emanating from this bunch at the moment.

I think Herbert alone was better than Monty last year.

I am going to be so happy not to have to see his smug face twice a year. I hope he flops in New York and Collingsworth and Co are forced to say how bad he sucks, haha.

I hear you, but I don’t agree that race necessarily played a part in this issue nor many other issues that the media would have us believe. I will leave it there as I don’t want to infect a great sports page with political issues. I hope that this site stays well away from politricks. I never post much due to knowing full well I don’t know as much as probably everyone else here about football and tending to put my foot firmly in my mouth at times, particularly after losses and other aggravating events. I visit this site daily multiple times and count on it while so many things in my personal life change and I can’t count on them anymore. Thanks everyone, and back to my hidey hole I go, lol.

I have a really hard time buying that. How did Lovie get a job if black is an issue? Geez….

Yeeha

Sorry, when discussions about keeping him came up I assumed his contract was ending. I certainly would never sign him to a big contract again, regardless of excuses he sucked for the last two years.

I wouldn’t even consider signing him again, he and Goldman could start a club for players who played lights out in the year before their contract is due and then absolutely dogging it until their next contract is coming up. Please rewind back to the last two years before falling in love with this pretender

Very exciting to see a potential star QB in Chicago.

He must be due to get a new contract, he has taken how many years off since his last one?

I love these coaches, feel so much more optimistic with the current regime

I agree, I think we are in trouble. I hope I am wrong but I don’t feel the future looks good with Fields.

Please for once do the right thing and dump the players who need to be dumped. Let someone else deal with this guy and take what we can get. And on his way out, he can take that press statement and shove it straight up his ass.

Hard to pay wide receivers when the QB is sucking up so much of the cap money.

I hope he goes soon. He is a distraction and a nut job. Get what you can and be happy you don’t have to put up with his behaviour again when he wants something. He will be a washout that will never fulfill his potential due to his vast ego

This guy pulled a stunt early on in his time here and he is obviously a bit strange to think that he doesn’t need an agent to manage his affairs like most everyone else. Then he puts out that ignorant press statement. I hope he is gone even if we don’t get what we want for him. I don’t want to cheer for prima donnas like that. And, who needs to pay for a top 5 ILB who wants to be paid like the best? The position doesn’t warrant the money

But who wants a cuckoo kicking up fuss like this? Linebackers are not a high value position. I would dump him now for a good trade or draft pick.

It’s unfortunate but he needs an agent.
