No idea if this X account is legit or not but I wanted to share it anyway.
No idea if this is legit or not but wouldn't surprise me one bit. Said it a million times, Poles didn't draft Fields so JF is gonna get a shorter leash than he would with a GM who chose him.
Broken record time here: This is why when you're doing a teardown, you link EVERYONE TOGETHER. A new GM, choosing a new coaching staff, and drafting a new QB. Reason #57 why Pace & Nagy should have been fired after the 2020 season rather than keeping them around cuz of "good collaboration".

That would literally be one of the worst things they could do, trade one of their firsts for a QB. Who would you get at this point? Murrey? Tannihill? Zappe? ZWilson? Trubisky?
If people are freaked out at the trade for Claypool, trading a first for someone's backup or an injured QB would cause people to literally explode.
I can't accept that tidbit at face value, someone is MSU.
Maybe I'm making a link between these two statements that wasn't implied.
"If he continues to struggle as the trade deadline approaches. 😬
Chicago currently hold the #Panthers first round pick as well as their own, and are ready to spend one of them on a QB."

Brasil, I think you misunderstood the tweet.
My interpretation of it (again, no idea if accurate or bs) is that Poles would be using one of his picks NEXT YEAR to draft a new rookie QB. Not that he would be trading for someone mid-season. There's no one to get.

Seems pretty generic and based off last week's report. There is nothing here that is news, why would Poles be anything but upset and readyt to move on.feels Lambert level of guestimation reporting.
That tweet (or is it X now?) seems like MSU BS to me.
Realistically, the entire organization SHOULD be furious with the pathetic start. Beyond that, the front office isn't going to announce any plans for QB trades or ANYTHING before the deadline.

You couldn't get anything for Fields anyways so you're better off letting his play continue a few more weeks, benching him for a few weeks and see what happens w/the next guy, then hoping Fields can get back on the field and play better.

Yeah there's so much invested in JF that I have no problem giving him whatever time is needed to exhaust every last ounce of hope.
We weren't a contender this year anyway and ending up with a high pick isn't a bad thing considering what's coming this offseason, unless Fields pulls a miracle turnaround.
I'm ALREADY seeing articles and videos pop up with 2024 Bears mock drafts and QB scouting reports. Normally it takes until Halloween before I have given up on these clowns; this year it's happening in September.
As an aside, how would you like to be DJ Moore? The guy has the worst luck in the NFL. His QBs have been Broken down Cam Newton, Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, PJ Walker, and Justin Fields. He's never once got to play with a top-10 passer.

Ric, that's my take on the situation too. This talk about benching Fields and putting Bagent in right now seems nuts to me. Maybe later in the season when Jenkins is back... and Jenkins could be back in what, 3 more games or so? Then get Whitehair back at center and Patrick out of there. And the entire OL should be better with those 5. Obviously not a great OL, but at least somewhat decent OL.
If the fans do pressure to see Bagent start, I could see Eberflus tossing him into a game just so the fans could see a "bug hitting a windshield" failure. Not because the kid can't play well. But rather because the kid should have SOME time before starting. We talk often here about giving a kid some time to learn the game, and not starting right away. But (some) Bears fans want to see the shiny toy immediately play now. SMH. Bagent is really nothing more (at this early point) than a "training camp/preseason hero. A QB version of guys like Airese Currie. Who fans thought was going to be the next superstar Bear WR, after being a similar TC/PS star. LOL, and instead he never caught a single regular season pass in his (brief) NFL career. I think he lasted 2 seasons after that in the CFL and couldn't even cut it at THAT level.

We are also inconsistent.
We wanted Bagent to be QB2 which means he was going to be literally one snap from entering a game totally unprepared having gotten extremely limited snaps with the ones.
But now we don't want him getting in there because he isn't ready. If he isn't ready now, he wasn't ready to be QB2. If he was ready to be QB2 than he should be ready to step into an game even the Chiefs and with a week to prepare, move into the starting lineup.
Welcome to Chicago where QB2 is more popular than QB1. Viva el jefe Peter Tim Willis!!!
