Keep Justin Fields or draft a new QB?

It is bigger malpractice never to draft somebody that the quarterback can throw the ball to. In that Cleveland game Bears receivers dropped 2 touchdowns. Everyone remembers the Darnell Mooney drop to end the game, but people seem to forget that in the first half of that game Fields threw a perfect 40 yard pass to the tightened (#18) who could have walked into the end zone for the touchdown. That didn't happen because the dude dropped it.
Every qb deals with drops man we not going to do this lol. The browns game was terrible though.
A lot of yal over complicate sports. A lot of yal act like every quarterback is equal with the same weapons or without them.
Who is better at passing the football with anticipation and accuracy on this level? There isn't any speculation with how his game will translate in the NFL, because he (Stroud) is in the NFL... with Justin.
All the excuses in the fukking world on this shyt. A lot of analysts were high on Chicago too. They played a trash schedule and still blew 3 games. smh. Watching what Stroud just did this year and saying he wouldn't be shyt with Chicago is some nut shyt. Nobody was talking about the Texans weapons before this nikka pulled up as a rookie
This ain’t about who’s better between Justin and Caleb. I would just rather go the route of having a stacked team vs HOPING I draft some great QB when history has shown us that the #1 pick at QB isn’t as successful as one would think. Patrick Mahomes was the 10th pick and he went to a 10-6 team that already had Tyreek Hill, Kareem Hunt, Travis Kelce, and he elevated them. Jalen Hurts went to a team that won the Super Bowl just 3 years prior and was in the playoffs the year before. Lamar Jackson got drafted to a team that went 9-7 and already a great organization with a winning culture.
In the past 20 years, 15 QBs were taken with the #1 pick. Only 3 went to the Super Bowl with the team that drafted them (Burrow, Goff and Newton). I guess you can count Eli, even though he was a draft day trade. Eli was the only one of those 4 who actually won it all. There are 8 #1 QB picks still active. Half are with the team that drafted them, and they all got drafted within the past 5 years.
TL;DR
The best QBs weren’t drafted #1. Build a team and if you need to change QBs, you can find one later.

Because he doesn't want to play for the bum ass Bears? Who could blame him?

Bang Bang Packers gang!
They need to draft williams and go after brandon ayiuk in the offseason. Try to draft Odunze as well
I watched every Texans game over the years living in Houston. It ain't just CJ came. They had talent on the OL and the Watson trade draft capitial really pushed up their rebuild. It helps their playing in a weak conference against a weaker schedule. Why CJ is doing is similar to Dan Marino. That's not normal for any rookie QB at all.
This ultimately comes down to how you like Fields. Fields supporters think he can be a top 5-10. Anti Fields guys don't see a franchise QB. So it's obvious where this convo will go with his supporters and his non supporters and why there is no middle ground.
I am a Fields supporter so I say keep him. I also see that the Bears are building the squad around Fields strengths to protect his weaknesses. That's what Philly did with Hurts. I am all in on that idea.

your QB ALWAYS matters... always
Hell I agree. Fields could be legit scary next year if the Bears drafted Harrison and Onduse to put with Moore and Kmet. A running quarterback with weapons and a solid defense is no joke.
