What other GMs are saying about Bears 2024 options.

I understand where you are coming from on this and you could be right and I could be wrong.  Time will tell.  But I do believe with a legit NFL coach calling plays and game planning better - along with better talent on offense, that Fields will be fine here.  I do believe that he will be a top-5 QB in the NFL on any team that provides him decent receivers, offensive line and coaches.  I definitely understand that others do not believe this, and that's okay.  Hey, we're fans and we are okay if we see things differently (that's half the fun of this messageboard in that we can all put in our 2-cents worth).

For the record, historically, I have been wrong about these type things more often than I have been right.  LOL, so I could be dead wrong, again.  And that's okay too.  I'm not trying to impress you guys with how smart I am.  :-)

i tend to believe the same. The thing that keeps recurring in my mind is - can the right coaches help his mental process quicken to be able to evaluate the field faster? Can it move him to change from a mindset of seeing the target open up to believing that he will be open and delivering to a spot? Those things are ingrained but I believe repetition and success can help ease him away from those things. Fields is the most talented QB we have had in forever. And he HAS improved. Can he take the next steps which he should have been doing by now? I still believe he can. But his "cheap" window is past. But Bradys "cheap" window passed long ago and teams still won with him. If he develops to what I think his potential is, we can still build a team around him, IMO. Do we bet our shot at a new QB? I honestly don't know

He still needs more consistency.  Yes, I know there have been drops, but we need better than 60% completion rate. Some of that is on the receivers, but some is on Fields.
