The bears are and will always be a bad organization from top to bottom starting with owners
I get tired of people trashing every Bears QB, while we have a revolving door O line and no defense.
I question fields IQ
All that running around last year = 3 wins.
Its white straight males are the reasons. Right black Americans? Everyone else's fault? Blame the stars black boy.
correction, not Georgia but Clemson – Fields carved them up. unless you are thinking about Stroud vs Georgia??? honest mistake. Go Bucks !
Let him run the ball.. he can’t do anything else at the nfl level. Wide open guys everywhere. Sometimes high school open
i understand that the coaching isnt great but blaming it on your coach being a qb is so unprofessional. you’re supposed to be the leader of that team and creating locker room issues says alot about his maturity
There are two issues with Justin Fields as I see it – and I have seen all his NFL snaps.The biggest issue is one no one is talking about. On passes over 15 yards Fields is not accurate. You cannot teach accuracy. The coaches have known this for some time. Hence the preponderance of horizontal passes, bubble screens, etc. The second issue is that he does not appear to recognize what he is looking at as he retreats to pass. He looks directly at the main receiver and, even if he is open, Fields cannot seem to pull the trigger often enough, quickly enough. Hence all the sacks.
It's possible he doesn't have what it takes mentally
Fields is correct. This is a garbage organization for decades that can't find a good GM or coaching staff. They had Lovie with 10 wins and ditched him. Name the year they had a top tier QB! They can't develop them cause they never have the right person in place. Comes down to the ownership and how inept they are.
Not a Bears fan but I watched the last game vs. Bucs, this kid is holding the ball too long, he's either thinking to much or staring down his 1st read and not working thru his progressions. "Open" is the NFL is much different than "Open" in College. I hope he finds his way …
Tape don't lie justin!!
I hope they trade Fields to the Jets
He missed the most effective explanation: "Hey everybody look! It's Zach Wilson. Get him!" I know Rich would have been on that like white on rice.
Fields’ athletic ability is what got him into the league so why would you take that away from him? Are you gonna tell Lamar not run anymore? Would you of told Vick not to run. Give him the reads and let him play ball.
Fields is just making excuses. Coaching doesn't affect how you miss wide open receivers, simple passes are off target. You have to just watch a full game of every throw from even last year to see that he made a lot of fundamental mistakes in accuracy and not throwing the ball in situations that he needs to throw. You can't blame coaches on simple throws and reads that's on you. They just make the play call, you just have to throw an accurate ball to a wide open receiver, that's on you not on them.
GO LIONS!!!!!
Fields may mean he is overwhelmed with too many things all at once, and he is not ready. Maybe let him play and go his way, but then, that doesn't really work in the NFL. Everyone is fast, you're a mistake away from a pick six, or worse, an injury. He is not who they think he is, an NFL quarterback. Maybe he should be a T.Hill in New Orleans. Let him be part time QB, part time RB/TE/slash.
Im on Justin’s side. You knew what you got when you drafted him. Let him try it his way you’ve got nothing to lose.
I'm a huge Bears fan and I've defended Fields with that Nagy mess and then the tank season last year where he had no WRs — but the blocking wasn't horrible (despite the narrative that it was) and he was holding it too long. I made the excuse of, "Well, have you seen those XFL WRs? He doesn't know where they're going to be." This year, Moore and Mooney are back, everything has been upgraded (while the defense didn't get much). In these two games, as bad as the playcalling has been, if you actually watch the All-22, there are guys WIDE OPEN, literally 5-10 yards in the open, and he stands there for 4-5 seconds patting the ball, taking sacks. Last game, four of the sacks were on him after he had the ball from 4-5+ seconds, one play, there were four guys wide open; two in the flats, two on the hashes, and 5th 50/50 down the middle but that would be a 35 yard throw. He doesn't throw. I don't get it. He can run, that's fine, but Roschon Johnson is the guy who is the beast and was knocking Packers into backflips that first game, getting five yards a carry. Bears need to see the QB throw the ball.
Fields has a much bigger arm than Brady, Manning, or Joe Montana… faster and a better athlete. Why were those guys amazing? Because they made decisions and threw it in 2.5-3 seconds.
Jim McMahon summed it right up…"qbs go to Chicago to die"
Chicago Bears, please cut Justin Fields so he can get with a good organization.
The Bears are a trash organization with trash coaches (Bears been stinking trash ever since the fired Lovie Smith).
Please cut Justin loose today.
Fields is living down to black qb stereotypes. Athletic but cant handle the mental aspect of the position by his own admission? Yikes
Its important to note the Bears scheme has resulted in wide open receivers on most plays.
He’s not a pocket qb. Weird that neither the Bears, nor analysts can figure that out lol

Coaches are making him look bad, by selling out to other teams and making him lose games.
Fields is not a quarterback-he is a running back.!
He is currently dead last in the top ten quarterback statistics for all quarterbacks that played 17 games or more from last year till now..Dead Last.!
Chicago either ruins quarterbacks or don’t know how to judge and properly pick quarterback talent.!
😂😂😂😂😂
This kid is a bum
It’s been stated by analysts before the draft that Justin can’t read defenses past his first read. And yet the Bears draft him. And if you’ve observed his play, it’s just that. His running is his way of hiding the fact that he can’t read a defense. my first option is an open, I’ll run. He’ll use his athleticism to make up for his lack of quarterback ability. The fact that he threw his coaches under the bus shows he lacks character as well.
Last year after week 9 Rich said something along the lines of “look at what Justin fields is doing a lot of people are going to be on that band wagon”
