Do you want me to point to all of the posts here from the summer which he literally stated that the OLine was not the problem? Now I know you're going to say "no not you" but I sure don't recall you ever saying that they were either. Or disagreeing with the notion.
I absolutely did say there were multiple problems, (I said the same for (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky as well) I won't dig it up because I dont need to. 90% of my posts on this board are in this section and I'm confident if you want to call me out here you won't be able to do it by researching my posts because you'll find me mentioning constantly that the O-line is a problem and so is the Head Coach who is a glorified coordinator.
And tell you what, I'll do you a solid here and state it flat out again today -Fields was absolutely not 100% to blame for the Bears offensive problems during his tenure here. The O-line was bad, the coaching was bad, his rookie season was tossed by asking him to bail out an entire coaching staff and front office on death row then feeding him to an entire regime in his 2nd year that didn't choose him. Thats alot to ask, and it happened to Mitch as well.
I like Justin, cheered all 3 years for him and still hope he plays well as Ive been a fan of his since he was taking concussive hits from Clemson defenders in the college playoffs.
I'll also add that I'd seen enough after year 3 that I didn't think he'd improve much more regardless of coaching or O-line. He struggles to read defenses, bails way too quick out of plays looking to run, doesn't keep his eyes downfield, struggles to consistently get thru multiple reads, almost never throws with anticipation, holds on to the ball too long, and has a slow release (a bit of a wind up).. theres more but I'll leave it at that. Im certainly not a poster that jumps on and off of bandwagons. I do my best to try and let things play out and when Ive seen enough? I put it out there.

And even with the very same shitty line, Justin Fields played better last season.
Ok, so this is what I meant by 'not trying to be smart while being stupid' -you aren't dumb LTG, you know why this is a throw away comment -you've been posting long enough. Justin was in year 3 of his career, and year number 2 of the same offense. Of course theres a good chance he'd look better than a rookie QB.
I mentioned this in another post but I'll mention here too -I'm giving this time to play out, just like I did for Mitch, and just like I did for Justin. I promise you if we get into year 3 and this shit hasn't changed I'll be right there saying Caleb isn't the guy.
