Iowa fan and Bears fan? You really hate offense and really love defense don't you?After yesterday’s Hawkeye bed-shitting, I need the bears to dominate today for my mental health. 🤞🏻
Armani Hooker from the edge knocks the ball out of 18 hands....keep it up Hooker!
This has been my world for decades.Iowa fan and Bears fan? You really hate offense and really love defense don't you?
To me it looked a lot like a rookie QB who’d never seen an NFL defense in person. Also, the o-line is weak, and Velus Jones inexplicably still has a roster spot. He needs to go yesterday.Does Tennessee have a good defense? I am in the Omaha area and they chose to play the Vikings game
Your QB threw for 64 yards on 29 attempts. You don't have a QB either, but he isn't hurt, just lousy. However the Titan QB was even worse...Beats the hell out of being 0-1 with no qb. Lol.
This is me. I wanted to trade down a couple times, get Alt, maybe a couple firsts for next yearI still remain unconvinced that Caleb Williams' ceiling is much higher than Justin Fields - and that isn't a bash of Caleb Williams. I think Fields is fully capable of being a Top 5-10 NFL QB and if the Bears had used their #1 pick as capital to build an even better supporting cast, this rebuild would be further ahead than it is now and the path to being a true playoff/Superbowl contender would be shorter.
I'm willing to eat crow if Williams turns out to be a genuine superstar, but nothing I've seen so far indicates that will be the case to me.

I said this over and over again, that I wanted the Bears to trade down and load up on picks and keep Fields. But having a QB on their rookie deal is like a cheat code in the NFL if that QB turns out to be star. There was enough smoke and hype around WIlliams that the Bears had to do this. Imagine trading down and Williams being a generational star.I think Fields is fully capable of being a Top 5-10 NFL QB and if the Bears had used their #1 pick as capital to build an even better supporting cast, this rebuild would be further ahead than it is now and the path to being a true playoff/Superbowl contender would be shorter.
I truly get that argument as well, and grudgingly accept it. I just think it delayed any possible return to being a true contender longer and I ain't getting any younger!I said this over and over again, that I wanted the Bears to trade down and load up on picks and keep Fields.

The upside to all this is that the Bears are loaded with offensive weapons and great D. Williams has no excuses if he doesn't succeed.
Exactly.Williams has been anointed the next coming of JC for months by the Chicago media yet most NFL pundits ranking yesterday's rookie QB's gave him a grade of D+ or C-. Had that been Justin Fields performing that poorly in his debut the Chicago press would already be running him out of town on a rail!
He was 100% rookie Fields yesterday without the dynamic running ability, though he made a few key plays with his legs as well.Williams has been anointed the next coming of JC for months by the Chicago media yet most NFL pundits ranking yesterday's rookie QB's gave him a grade of D+ or C-.

Man, I hope you are right, but Field's biggest issue, as noted, is reading defenses which is mental - I think he has even better physical tools than Williams.At this point I think Williams floor is Justin's ceiling.
No doubt fields is athletically gifted enough to be a top qb. I really thought he'd be Josh Allen mixed with Lamar by now. But like you said, the mental hasn't clicked.Man, I hope you are right, but Field's biggest issue, as noted, is reading defenses which is mental - I think he has even better physical tools than Williams.
Mental issues can be overcome with study, repetition and experience.
Physical limitations, for the most part, are what they are and can't be overcome.
