I’m in the “not sold yet” category. 2 games don’t equate to he’s our savior. Before we show him the money, he needs to consistently show he’s worth it.
I agree with that. And I do like that we have 12 more games to watch what he does, now that he and DJ and Kmet are seeming like they are clicking well now. The OL is settling down and looking better also - if they can just clean up the penalty problem (at least have fewer).
Mooney is coming off of some fairly serious ankle surgery and I think that has slowed him at the beginning of this season. But he should get ramped up soon. He doesn't have to be the WR1 guy with DJ here. But surely he can regain his WR2 form soon. I'm hoping we start seeing him clicking very soon now too. I do expect he will.
Also, with this being the 2nd season with Getsy, I'm expecting everyone to be more comfortable in it. We could see Fields continue to improve over those 12 games. That just makes sense to me.
My last hope on Fields has been pretty much extinguished after today's shitfest.
There's only flickering embers left. I think he's done here.
Sadly.
I was planning on doing more of these, but why bother? I strongly suspect he goes on IR. For his own future, is it worth returning after 4 weeks? — if he's even physically able to??

It's Bagent17's time.
If he needs to miss significant time, I would not be shocked one bit if today was his last start as a Bear.
There's no way they can extend him at this point.
Can they justify picking up his 5th yr option? Man, that feels like a stretch to me.
Which means you gotta move on from him and trade him this offseason for whatever you can get.
This sucks so bad. If Fields had hit this year we were in a strong position to get good fast.
I still think Peterman gets the start next week. I believe the coaching staff believes Peterman gives them a better chance to win that Bagent. That would be totally Bears like. And with the Bears luck, Peterman is going to roll off 3-4 wins and ruin their draft position. Don't get me wrong, I always cheer for a win, I hate losing to anyone.
