Fire the coaches! Stop blaming talented players. Play calling are from Madden football. Stop repenting same plays.
No one cares what a Lombardi says this guy is not being honest about no online stop it mike great coaches make players better too look at phil and mj
Justin fields a bust draft another QB next year draft get Jim harbour in there new coaching staff good offense coordinator and defense coordinator it's rebuilding team rebuilding take four four to five years this are second year
Fields has the duel-threat talent as a QB to be shaped and honed. It all starts with sound experienced coaching at the NFL level.
Unfortunately, Fields has not received solid coaching at the NFL fact. Fields has not received good QB development fact.
The Bears hired a horribly inexperienced, unqualified OC in Getsy.
Check his background. The guy doesn't have the credentials to be a NFL OC. Fact
Getsy never called plays before last season and Never developed a QB.
But people wanna blame Fields .
People wanna make as though Fields had good coaching and is just not a good QB. That's a lie. And I challenge anyone to prove me wrong about anything I've said.
Bottom line…..Fields has received substandard coaching, no mentoring and a lack of QB development since entering the NFL Fact
Thinking isn't knowing 🤷🏿♂️
Excellent input. If you watched Detroit hammer the Packers, you saw good O-Line and good D-Line play by the Lions. Comparing the Detroit Line, and the Chicago Line, there is no comparison. I am so happy for David Montgomery, 3 TDs on national TV and he beat the Packers!!!
WRs are a dime a dozen. Listen to Lombardi. Bears get raped in trades.
As long as the clowns running this organization are here nothing will change. Bears need new ownership that understands what it takes to build a winning culture. This "storied" franchise hasn't been relevant since 1985 and are now on the verge of replacing the browns and lions as the laughing stock of the league.
Fields is a RB who happens to be able to throw a football
This is everything we already knew. Bears are now a race to the bottom.
I agree you need to build the lines the problem is managing an investment in a “team” when you don’t have a QB.
"Offensive and Defensive lines are not good", but JF1 is the problem? WRONG!
JF1 is a SUPERSTAR and everyone should realeyes that! If you are the QB of a team with no running game (let Monty walk) due to no FOCUS on the OL, no creative offensive scheme and a defense which is atrocious, you mean to objectively say that you could succeed? WRONG, I AM POSITIVE!
In Chicago where QB' go to rott, the fan base is screaming for Bagent, they say, "give the kid a chance". We'll, JF1 is a kid too ,however, they don't want to give that kid a chance, even after knowing all that they do about this team. Going on the 4th game in the 2nd year of a REBUILD. It's JF1' fault … WRONG, I AM POSITIVE
Fields worshippers remain in denial & the 35+ year rebuild continues 🤷🏽
Easy to say now Mike. Put Mahomes behind our oline with our receivers. Look at love last night…when he’s pressured. He can’t do well. Love was missing two oline starters. Look at the pressure and sacks last night for Jordan love. This isn’t all on fields. You can’t access a QB without at least a decent consistent oline.
You know what makes players better, a good OL and DL… The Bears have neither! They haven't had a C since Garza. The LT, LG are worse than other teams bench players. RG, is either a hologram or a former bull fighter… at this point it would be better to just have nobody there so the QB knows the reality of the situation.
Why draft Jalen Carter when you have Justin Jones out there dominating. 😆
Poles is overthinking he's out smarting his self u got to keep it basic Oline Dline could of drafted Carter and drafted oline with the pick for Claypool and kept Raquon smfh and brought in the tackle from kc he brought in too many replaceable parts…….smfh 😢
You live and die in the trenches.
Can anyone explain to me why the Bears didn't hire this guy with a proven track record in football, working for some great coaches and organizations? Instead they hired Poles. Explains why they have been mired in decades of mediocrity.
Because that team HAS NEVER DEVELOPED A QB MAYBE THATS WHY!!😂😂
The man said "Great players make other players better". Yeah right! Jesus himself would have a hard time making the Bears players better. The Monday morning couch potatoes can say all they want about Fields but dude is a dog! Hard to win on any level when you surround a dog with a bunch of poodles!!!
In Amerikkka? Really?
He’s right
This man understands football. This is exactly what is going on in Chicago.
2:10 great players make other players better. Lombardi knew da bears were a dumpster fire before anyone else
Fears confirmed.
