that's great to hear. I didn’t even think you could do an MRI right after an injury due to swelling, maybe they got him in the tube before it blew up

Justin Fields has the physical tools to be a good passer. Also I think the only appropriate way to post about him is if he's a Cubs prospect that is One Year Away from breaking out. There needs to be a Mash Mervis esque nickname for him.

Also his dog is a HoF caliber dog. So fuckin cute.

I mean it became exciting to watch Bears games last season specifically because I was waiting for him to break off a 50+ yard touchdown run.

Now, I would much rather this was paired with several good passing touchdowns, and rarely it was but hopefully that will change with our new additions to the offense.

It's weird cos everyone was expecting him to be this super accurate passer based on his college play

Would be very funny if Anthony Richardson came out of the gates as a hyper accurate pocket passer

So, the thing is Fields is incredibly accurate when it comes to intermediate to deep passes.

He is dire at quick short pass accuracy because his footwork and mechanics are touch and go.

He's good at the hard poo poo, and needs to work on the easier poo poo.

Home run, he was a baseball dude at Notre Dame

That Kmet contract is an overpay based on his overall production thus far but he showed signs of putting it all together at the end of last season (36 rec, 385 yards, 6 TD in the last 9 games). It seems like a decent bet on him maintaining that production and it won’t kill you if it doesn’t pan out (because it’s super frontloaded and the Bears had money to burn anyway)

National sportswriters did not watch all 17 Bears games like I did and they can never grasp just how little help Justin Fields had up to this point. It's unprecedented and not something you can judge based on solely looking at Fields' numbers.


There was literally a line in the Why Your Team Sucks article that just says "stop trying to make Cole Kmet happen."
