Definitely illustrates that he played very well "in stretches" Perhaps Keyshawn can explain exactly what that means. As well as "prior to injury" while he is at it.

Not true. 68% of Republican voters think it was stolen. Quite substantial. But again I credit you for standing side by side with them even though I don't agree with guys like you who think it was stolen.

If the Bears believed that Justin Fields was the problem, they would not have sacked the O.C. And if they do not draft Williams, it is clear that they do not believe that he was the problem.

I don't disagree with that if the 2nd statement proves true. I do think that they should move on from Fields though....although as a Packers fan I'd be happy if they keep him

Come on. Bagent is awful and while there were a few supporters early on I don't think anyone is still on board that train.

Come on. Bagent is awful and while there were a few supporters early on I don't think anyone is still on board that train.

But why would anyone that claims to know football have ever thought that Bagent was good? And "moving on" (As stated previously) is only relative to who they move on too. Its obvious that MANY of the gurus advocate for bouncing Fields solely for the purpose of "bouncing Fields". Which is just plain dumb. If they jettison the guy, they better KNOW that whomever they get in return is better.

No offense to Keyshawn, but he loves the sound of his voice. He is not someone that can be trusted to evaluate QBs. If he played with Justin Fields he would be bitching within 2 quarters to get him the damn ball more.

He stated that Fields was the better talent and essentially said that Caleb Williams is just a guy. Can't say that I expected that to be honest.

The Doctor Of Style should stick to sports that he understands.
I have no idea what this whole Keyshawn thing is about. He's a receiver. He should stick to talking about receivers. That's his area of expertise. Let's look at Boomer who thought early this season that Fields would improve. He did not. Boomer sees that he can't see blitzes. Boomer sees that he can't see downfield open receivers. Boomer would be "very surprised" if the bears passed on Williams. He sees that Fields isn't playing "free and easy". Boomer watched week 18, said it went terrible for Fields and that the bears have to move on. I think Boomer knows a little more about quarterbacking than Keyshawn does.
It's going into year 4. If you're asking if Fields is your guy still then he isn't your guy.
It's not coaching. It's not his offensive line. If you think these things perhaps you never played football, or don't watch much football or simply don't understand football. Great quarterbacks do not allow this to cause them to be terrible. Mahomes didn't. Rodgers didn't. Many others didn't as well.
So what if Fields has a cannon. He can't use it. He doesn't see coverage like an NFL quarterback should. He doesn't throw receivers open. Fields having a cannon for an arm is like giving your mother a Ferrari. She wouldn't know what to do with it and neither does Fields.
It just so happens Fields is terribly one dimensional. He has the moves. I'll give him that. He has escape ability, I'll give him that. What happens when he has that leg injury that takes his speed away, or even a small percentage of his speed. Is he able to convert to a pocket passer? I suspect he cannot. He has shown nothing to suggest he can transform into a pocket passer. Nothing.

I see young guy who has been a victim of bad coaching, bad receivers, and bad offensive lines. He has worked his way to be a good quarterback certainly one who the Bear's can build a team around. I think that he needs an offensive tackle, a center and a good wide out to complete the puzzle.


Time will tell if I'm wrong. I don't suspect I am. I've got 47 years of playing, watching and understanding football. I am no expert. However, the experts outside of Keyshawn seem to think Fields doesn't identify coverage well. They seem to think he doesn't see passing windows and when he does they're closing, not just starting to open.
I don't think Fields is the guy. There's nothing to suggest he will start to see the things that great quarterbacks see. Cutting bait now is the right move.
Will Williams be better? It's not guaranteed. But what's is guaranteed is that Fields is who Fields is, and thats a quarterback that will put up stats that keep him somewhere in the 20th area of rankings.

By that logic, Fields should never have been drafted in the first place since no one was certain he would be better than (Pro Bowl QB) (Pro Bowl QB) (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky. And he hasn't been.

iirc Keyshawn was always a disproportionate supporter of Fields when he was on ESPN mornings even when it made no sense. So he’s at least consistent..
