Keep Justin Fields or draft a new QB?

[So-Chi]

I doubt you can get a haul like that. I feel like the other teams who could trade up probably know that this is a bit of a bind for the Bears in a way.

You are underestimating Poles

 

[jay211]

If another team like The Commanders who haven't had a good QB in almost a decade, want Caleb, they can't afford to call a bluff. because another team might trade with the Bears and jump them.

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

I’m not even going to defend Fields for this argument


All I got to say is I’ve watched CFB closely this year

I’ve seen Caleb play and I’ve seen MHJ play

Why the fukk would I want Caleb

 

[BlueHeffner]

Poles has done a solid job building the team. He's not getting fired if Caleb pans out and the Bears are winning. They have 7 wins now and should be a playoff team next year with their draft capital.

I think Fields body type and ability to run is more built for Chicago weather. Caleb would be a better fit elsewhere.

I mean true. but you don't think even a middling qb with moore on one side and MHJ on one side can't be at least average

Never mind whatever impact player they also get trading down.

If the defense stays on this level thats all you really need to make the playoffs in the NFC.

Fields is making like 6 mill next year isn't he? or am I missing something.

That would be his fourth year, and typically fourth year is when qbs on rookie deals get extensions.


I don't think the resetting qb clock is a dumb argument at all. A good Qb on a rookie deal is a huge advantage to a team and opens up a large window of opportunity.

 

[feelosofer]

Draft another QB. Remember if you keep Fields you are going to have to pay him at some point. What would he cost 40 to 45 million a year? What has Fields really shown that makes you believe he is a franchsise QB? Trade him for what would probably be a 2nd rounder and maybe a day 3 pick, restart the QB clock with Caleb take the extra picks and invest in receivers and the O-line.

thats true but bears got like 100 mill in cap anyway

I really don't care what poles does either way because as much as I like JF it would not be hard to replicate his passing production objectively speaking. Williams is no where near as athletic with the ball though but perhaps we go OL too to address that. JF + MHJ is probably as good as Williams + Nabers/the washington WR anyway.

Bears really can't lose here imo. either option is fine.

 

[MostReal]

The Bears would be absolutely foolish to keep a QB that can't beat Green Bay.
Dude has only passed for over 225yds 6x in his career.
I'm sick of watching inept QBs under center in Chicago.

TRADE HIM and get you a legit Franchise QB with the no. 1 pick.

So do the Dolphins. They only beat 1 winning team.

If they lost those games then what? They won 3 last year so the point is to win more and they did that. They went from one of the worst to middle of the pack. They can take another step next season with the addition of MHJ and the haul trading the first pick brings. Taking Caleb doesn't give you the draft capital or MHJ. Bears need a WR and O line help more than a QB.

thank you

I've seen enough! get rid of this dude
get some picks and load up in the 2nd rd and go get Jim to be your coach. I'm sick of this losing ish.

 

[khross415]

the wins they got this year are nothing special i would still move off Fields. Especially if you can have a team who believes in what he did , and you can get a late 1st or early 2nd. the fact he will be up for an extension and you are gonna have to go through the back n forth on what hes worth next year and his value

 

[WesCrook]

I believe they will trade Fields. One reason is because he is not their (management) guy. Justin was there first.

Sure it will piss off a segment of fans, but Caleb is a generational talent.

Fans are already reaching and shytting on Caleb to justify keeping Fields.

Well I just think more emphasis should be placed on Fields having to get paid.


So it's not a "keep Fields vs draft a QB" argument, it's more of a "keep Fields and have to pay him double digit salary yearly" vs a rookie qb salary for four years. Suddenly depending on the money the Bears go from 100m in cap to like anywhere from 75 to 60.

Lol comparing the Dolphins to the Bears is crazy. The Dolphins dont have questions w their QB’s throwing ability.

MHJ, as great as he is/will be, is not worth passing on a franchise QB. What good will he be if Fields cant get him the ball because of his inconsistency?
