Justin Fields-Tyson Bagent dilemma, Bears’ Jaylon Johnson decision with Tony Dungy

Dungy thinks Getsy runs different offenses for Fields/Bagent lol that would be smart but Bears coaches unfortunately are not
JUSTIN is a Bust. Stop wasting time on Fields. Fields has no poise and cant read defenses. Justin is a very good athlete, but a losing QB. Bagent is a good athlete, but a way better QB. Keep in mind, the GOAT Tom Brady was a late draft pick and a back up QB. Good thing Balechek could spot talent. I am not sure the Bears can see what is right in front of them. Bagent should start the rest of this season. By the way this is Fields 3rd season, not a rookie and we cant/dont win with Fields.
They tried to run this offense with Fields but it didn't work.
You go with the hot hand …if Bagent keeps winning you don't change
IMO Bagent as QB is a relief to the O Line. Quick release and decision making made the offense look efficient. Fields indecisiveness whether to pass or run puts a lot of stress on the offense to be most effective. Idk but Bagent looked more polished and confident out of the huddle than Fields.
The sad thing is if fields struggles even if it’s warranted Chicago will completely lose their minds
Justin field is a bust!!! His record is 6 win and freakn 26 lost ! Wtf
If you read all the pro scouting reports on Fields. Almost every Pro Scouts all have identical reports. Fields can't read defenses, holds on to the ball too long, can't manage a game etc… etc. The same arguments that is being talked about today.
Fields transfered to Ohio State where he had the best players "money" could buy. Usually the QB elevates his team. It was reversed for Fields. Ohio State didn't have a QB. So when he transfered he started right away. His teammate's play and thier elite talent hid Field's flaws and in a major way.
"Justin Fields is the future"…..what?!?!?!?!/
This is sad. The anti-Fields rhetoric is overbearing no matter how much you pretend to support him. They tried their hardest to get Dungy to say that Bagent should take Fields job.
Tony D, so smart, so calm,
How often does fields get double tight ends….
Come on, DUNGY! Fields is 1-15 in his last 16 starts; and if Bagent wins 2 in a row, he's your starter. Man alive, Fields has proved over 3 years that he isn't the future. He should not even be in the NFL. He is not an NFL QB because he cannot read defenses, he cannot pass the ball. He can lose games, and he can get you the #1 pick in the draft, but he cannot win.
Seeing what was said this year was really that rebuild and like Dungy said earlier you can see the team slowly playing better "TEAM he said not quarterback TEAM because the first three games offense nor defense was clicking plus a lot of guys were missing due to injury on both sides of the ball. Never was a Justin or Eberflus fault it was that no one really gelled against opposing teams and that was partly because of the lack of starter play during pre-season games, to play 3 downs and then all the starters were sidelined was not smart on the bears.
Man, i like Coach Dungy, dudes a legend. I love Fields too, but If Bagent looks clean and efficient and wins us the game, we should stay with him. We need to win games. Why rush Fields in especially if Bagent can hold the line? Bagent looked poised and confident, if thats something that gets us a victory, why change it? In regards to Jalen Carter, hes a freak. I wouldve loved him, but I believe Wright was the correct decision. Hes been incredibly good for a rookie and he needed that OL help more than that nose tackle spot imo.
Bagent is the guy… Needs a fair shot.
What's the other offense 🤔 that's what the difference is they are not calling the same plays or asking the to do the same exact thing 3 step and 5 step is clearly 2 different things so if bagent is getting the ball out quicker in 3 steps then why in the 🖕🏿are you asking Justin to take 2 more steps then bagent 🤷🏿♂️ bunch of bs stop jerking this man's career and get him a coaching staff that knows exactly what to do with him
Dam you taylored the defense why not the offense 🤷🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
We need to move on from Justin Fields. He had his chance and he looked unimpressive and failed. We can't go through with what happened to the Giants. Danny Dimes only had one solid season and they extended him all for him to be a bust like everyone knew he was.
Y’all sound stupid AF how are you all not factoring the fact the defense is playing drastically better‼️
Anyone else here bc of Tony Dungy thumbnail
Since taking fields, the bears have a better win% with backups than they do with fields… It's not a difficult call, the only reason to put fields back is to hope you get his value up for this summer. Doesnt matter if Bagent is the replacement, if it's not him it's someone in the draft this summer
I wish Tony Dungy would actually talk about defensive alignments and responsibilities. When he talks it just seems like he doesn't know what he's talking about. Or possibly he's placating and believes Bears fans don't know football.
If Fields was playing this week the game would be flexed out of Sunday night. Nobody wants to watch Fields get sacked and the O-line and the entire team and upper management be blamed.
I'm watching this Bagent kid for the first time ever tonight and he looks like an NFL starting QB in the half an hour I've watched him. I'm no expert of course, but hard to believe he wasn't drafted. He looks at least like a quality backup QB. Maybe a nice find for the Bears and potential QB controversy. I think the thing that is tough for Bears and Management is he probably more the style of QB they desire than Fields. Fields certainly is talented, but they need to make a decision as an organization really what direction they are going in the near future. I thought they should have traded Fields and drafter Bryce Young, so ha who knows it's hard to tell obviously. Very few Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, Joe Burrow situations where the pick is almost a can't miss superstar for years to come.
Nagys EGO and Stupidity Dismantled the Roster that won him the division with a 12-4 record won him coach of the year and if not for the doink who knows what might of happened its been a down ward spiral ever since ,than comes IDIOT Ryan Poles and destroyed what ever was left. BEARS R P HAD 2 YEARS AND LEFT THE SAME OFFENSIVE LINE that says everthing
There is no dilemma, you play Tyson Bagent. He's clearly the superior QB. A bunch of people have never known the touch of a football….or a woman….but have an intimate relationship with their XBox controller are going to come in and scream the opposite.
It was interesting to hear him say Kurt Warner. I was thinking Warner while watching bagents highlights. There was a lot of poise there, great play reading. But can he grow and make longer plays? Can he get rocked and still run with confidence? Can he scramble really under pressure?A lot of quarterbacks can play one game like Warner but how about all of them? If he’s franchise worthy definitely remains to be seen but he has potential.
