I'm rooting for Fields but I'm also not rooting for Fields because I don't want The Hawk to be right.

Give us all a day off from this please.



Jawaan Taylor draws 5 penalties, briefly benched in 2nd game with Chiefs since signing $80M deal

Chiefs' high-priced problem
In a relatively restrained offseason, Jawaan Taylor landing a four-year, $80 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs stood out as one of the few truly controversial moves. Sure, that's essentially the going rate for top offensive tackles these days. But Taylor, 25, hasn't established himself in that class yet, meaning this was a substantial bet on his growth potential. In the early going, that wager has gone bust. Through five weeks, Taylor had a solid lead as the NFL's most penalized player with nine accepted flags. Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid have come to the right tackle's defense, saying he was being unfairly targeted by officials. But beyond the penalties, Taylor hasn't been nearly good enough as a protector for Mahomes. In the cutthroat AFC, the margin for error is slim, especially with the young receiving corps yet to find its way. Things are still salvageable, but a significant leap will be required for Taylor's deal not to go down as one of the franchise's bigger missteps in recent history. – Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz

That signing may cost them a return trip to the Super Bowl.

He is horrible right now.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

If the Bears know that Fields is not the guy moving forward, do they look to trade him?

Sports mockery posted a guy at the Athletic who thought you could get a 2nd in '24 and a conditional 3rd in '25.

Is that realistic?

Maybe from Atlanta.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

yes.

There will be a market if he is made available. I think they will get more than the above.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

If I'm wrong about Caleb then I will own it.

We are seeing the ceiling and have seen the floor, want a little more consistence from Fields, there always seems to be a key drive early in the second half where makes a big mistake which turns the game, he did not do that last night and was able to throw the ball away to avoid sacks.

The current rules make the NFL a somewhat simple game, if you have a top WR all you have to do is get the ball in his general vicinity and he will either catch it or draw a PI, you also cannot reroute him or you will draw an illegal contact or holding call, the top QB's know how to work the rules.

At this point give Fields 20M for the option, trade away both picks and start beefing up these shit lines. Let fields get killed and start building something sustainable.

Its as simple as this. No quarterback can win with a horrible offensive line and weak running game. The Bear's have both of those things with all of the injuries that they have suffered at rb and oline. In that game against the Viks, they win that game with a good pair of running backs and a good offensive line. Period.

What?!

If I'm wrong about Caleb then I will own it.

watch the fucking games dipshit. fields can have 10 seconds in the pocket and still get sacked.

I'll go first. You can use your top pick to take a qb and throw him into an unwinnable situation, even with the other pick landing harrison or bowers, and whatever dumbass coach replaces flus. Or, you could trade away both high picks for a gargantuan haul with the understanding that even if your top two picks worked out, you would still have an inept offensive line that should be reworked. The bears can easily give fields 20M on the option for one year. Let him be the sacrificial lamb while you try to sort out something that resembles a modern offense once he is killed.

Ok, so the 1st go is a bad thought. Next!

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Why would you give up anything more than a low second or high third for Fields?

In his 30 NFL starts, he has performed well as a passer in only a few portions of games. It's clear that he struggles against blitzes and zone coverage. He's less accomplished than (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky was at the same stage of his career. What kind of market was there for him?
