Bears must move fast with Justin Fields trade.

Man I really don't want to get into this but yes, Fields is just slow. You can see this on tape again and again. He goes through his progressions too slowly, often makes decisions too slowly (or just doesn't make them), and then has a long wind up to throw which only adds to the problem. It was a noted problem in college and it's still a problem now. This was mitigated some in college because he was playing with a bunch of 1st round draft picks often against teams with lesser talent. It's possible he has gotten a little faster but clearly not enough to compete in the NFL. There isn't an OL in the NFL that is going to consistently be able to give you that time. 

When you see CW hold on to the ball it's because he is trying create and maximize the play. You can clearly see on tape he is conscious of where his receivers are and if he passes on shorter routes it's because he thinks there's a bigger play elsewhere. This is where the criticisms that he holds on to the ball a long time and is a "big game hunter" come from. Legitimate criticisms to be sure, but conscious decisions by him and not some limitation of his. And when you add into the fact his defense was routinely giving up 30+ points a game it's understandable why he tended to play that way. It was score or die. I imagine he'll rein that in some if he's on a team with a decent defense. You know like the Bears seem to have now. On top of all that CW has a lighting fast release, can throw it at crazy angles, and has some of the best throwing mechanics of anyone coming out of college. 

The pushback on CW continues to baffle me. I can't think of a more picked over 1st round prospect in history. I guess if he acted like Andrew Luck or other dull QB this wouldn't happen. But because he paints his nails and missed a press conference that apparently means he's going to be a bust despite the overwhelming on-field evidence that says otherwise.   

Exactly my take on this too.  And if we do move on from Justin Fields I am not going to start vilifying the guy.  Meatballs do that.  I guess they feel like they have to dump on a guy if we move on from them.  It's sad really.  These guys work so hard to be good players for us.  They obviously want to be a success here.  But I do think a lot less of people when they start to denigrate these guys (good guys who gave it their all for us fans) once they are let go.  I always try to wish these guys the best when they move on from here.  If the Bears move on from Fields I wish him the best.  He was a class act here and he represented the Chicago Bears well.  He is a mature young man who was a good "face of the franchise" while here.

Was trolling and saw this. Have no idea who the author is. There are so many viewpoints on the Bears QB issue, it's not funny

Has Wilson been cut yet or is he still under contract in Denver? Never mind, just checked. The important date for him is March 17th. Thats when money becomes guaranteed.

If you are a team....say....the Falcons, would you trade for Fields now or be willing to wait for Wilson to be cut? Its just a few weeks, and Denver might have to lower their asking price if they really want to trade him. Denver has literally no good options here.
