Bernstein & Larry really belittling Fields naysayers in a bizarre segment praising themselves for truthfulness. Larry praising Fields 17th QBR rank

You mean the same guys that told you Nagy was a genius, and that people were on, and I love it when Lil' Danny Bernstein uses this one, "on the wrong side of history", for ripping Nagy for not playing his starting offensive line in the preseason?

It's not necessarily an outlier. The board as a whole has this passing yard debate on and off throughout the years. Burrow "only" had 205 because Mixon ran for 153 that game, therefore reducing the need for Burrow to launch air raids since that yardage production went to Mixon. Passing yards are a function of game flows. If the opposing offense carries out time consuming drives to keep your offense off the field, like the Titans for example with Henry, that leaves your offense with less time to rack up yards. That's why even for elite QBs like Burrow his talent/capabilities are not captured in passing yards, whether they're high or low. It's more about ratios that assess progress down the field compared to however many opportunities he had to progress down the field. Passing yards don't give you that story. They also obscure the conditions in which that yardage was accumulated - garbage time vs more competitive game scenarios, etc. It's a secondary stat imo and not some insightful metric as Vito believes.

Is Getsy trying to get fired ? This kind of racially charged criticism of his QB wont be allowed to go unpinished

Good stuff. A balanced offense is a great thing in giving the coach options to attack his opponent with. I have to laugh at the people who criticized Fields in a game last year in which he ran for over 100 yards but only threw the ball maybe 25 times. Then we get lectured how
HE CAN'T THROW BLAH BLAH BLAH. My favorite "take" though was that Fields couldn't learn the play-book???

It gives him a great excuse for his accuracy.

Pretty strange to want your quarterback to be able to throw.

Who says that Fields isn't able to throw?

Anyone who has ever watched a Bears game.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

The constant praise and assumption of Fields' future stardom from all six daytime hosts (plus the stand-ins like Herron) is really grating, considering Fields has accomplished virtually nothing other than having some great rushing performances. Mulligan went so far as to say the city would "not stand for" Poles trading him, as if he's beloved like Derrick Rose after the MVP season.

I really want Fields to succeed but if he ends up not being able to throw the ball the enrite city needs to flood 670 with calls and texts calling them out on this bullshit. They need to own all the bizarre stuff they've been saying about him. Of course if he's a star and 670 is right then I guess I'll just retire from having sports thoughts and move on to pottery or something.

Fields has some exceptional talents and if they choose to keep him, that coaching staff should be hard at work developing a new offense that truly takes advantage of his talents. This guy is not conventional and the Bears need to invent some schemes that suit him, he isn’t going to be molded into something a lot of people wish he was. If they decide he is the guy, they need to come up with something outside the box to take advantage of it.

Dude, they did exactly what you're saying this season. The only way it's sustainable is if he learns to make NFL throws and reads. That way teams are forced to respect both his arm and legs. Currently the way to beat him is to spy him and force him to pass. He can make defenses pay by getting rid of the ball quicker than he's ever done before.

So what I'm reading in this thread of brilliance is that Fields won't ever work out because of his lack of success throwing to an historically bad group of receivers that couldn't get open at Dr. Kenneth's back yard...

well that makes no sense whatsoever

I don’t think his problems were his ability to throw, or his receivers ability to get open, it was his inability to quickly read defenses, and anticipate where to throw it.

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.
