Clearly, by replacing Wims and Ridley with Perriman and Webster (+ Mooney, Byrd, & Goodwin) the team is all in on speed and verticals at WR. Robinson is only the "slow" possession guy left.
Begs two questions: A) Fields throws a beautiful deep ball. How long until he takes over? B) Verticals take time to develop. Will the OTs hold up in pass pro?

it's not all about deep verts w/speed anymore. It's just about seperation and forcing the other team to cover the entire field. ARob is essentially Watkins for the Chiefs, but will get more looks. Kmet/Graham/James will be more open in the middle as teams are spread thinner b/c of speed/improved talent at WR will force them to no longer get ignored as teams just double ARob and clog the run lanes.
if they do double ARob and clog the run lanes, look out. Speaking of that the run game should work better also.
The OL is a problem b/c regardless of the speed Nagy's playcalling is atrocious and every play seems to take 10 secs to develop, it's why Foles was calling him out last year. Then again so is Nagy.
It's going to take Fields 4-8 weeks to finally get in as the starter, min. If Dalton can connect w/these guys and isn't costing the team games he might be in there all year.

I'll wager you a large amount of money that won't happen.
Bears will be lucky to open better than 1-2. Keep in mind that starting 0-3 essentially ends your season as the historical chances of making the playoffs at 0-3 are single digits %. Pressure is gonna build on Nagy to make the switch pretty quickly and I don't mean just from meatball fans either. The locker room is gonna know who gives them the better chance to win.
I'll be shocked if Fields isn't the starter by Halloween.

Also about YAC, which is a big part of the Reid OFF, from which Nagy developed his version. YAC consists of WR getting enough separation through route running and/or speed AND a QB that can hit them in stride. Get the YAC game running, forces DEF to drop more guys into the short zones, opening up running lanes thus slowing the pass rush, thus allowing shots downfield.
Its all related, every aspect plays into every other, and speed is the table setter and it kills.
