Hey hey Bears ended up with the best rated FA TE in Everett!
I also like the IOL guy, Matt Pryor that the picked up. He is not your typical backup OL guy. Dude is a high-quality depth piece who plays every position on the OL except for center at a high level. Dude is a beast at 6'7" 332 pounds and can run and pass protect equally well. I was so worried about going into this season with glassman Jenkins and questionable depth behind him.

Nice he is a mountain of a man. I know PFF gave Ja'Tyre Carter a horrible rating but I thought he did alright. Maybe it is because my bar is set so low for a Bears backup O lineman, especially one I didnt realize made the squad.

Ja'Tyre could end up being a good player. But he was in his 2nd season out of tiny Southern University. He could take another development step this year and be a good player for us too.

I've been known to where rose colored glasses. I am still convinced JF1 can get the ball out quick enough to become one of the most electrifying QBs in the NFL. (Its the interior line's fault! I mean Tom 'The GOAT' Brady's cryptonite was a collapsing pocket from a push up the middle. Look at who JF1 had at Center his 3 NFL seasons!) 😁
Mooney had 2 down years in a row and still got a huge deal. There is no market for Fields--not as a starter anyway. Luke Getsy was immediate;y re-hired to another OC job.
The rest of the league is telling you they don't think much of Fields as a passer. All the excuses Bears fans have made for him--coaching, weapons, etc--look like total BS right now. 31 other teams see it very differently.
Sad but true.
Some of us started seeing this in late 2022. Fields just wasn't the answer. And you're right, this had nothing to do w/ coaching or the lack of "weapons".
I wouldn't say "nothing". Bears certainly could have done a better job with him, no doubt, especially his first 2 seasons.
But at some point the rubber hits the road and a QB has to produce. The explanations become just excuses.

I'm always baffled at a QB being ruined at a relatively young age. I know that we have a QB whisperer, the QB can relearn new habits, and discard bad ones.learn to retrain eyes,relax from being gun shy, etc.

+1 Just look at how our new OC, Shane Waldron resurrected Geno's career. Fields has far better attributes than Geno. But I think that ship has sailed and we are about to climb aboard the Caleb ship now. And that's fine. I believe we have the team in a better place now - and can help this QB succeed where others didn't. I am cautiously optimistic about the Bears right now. The arrow is pointing up.

Physically yes, mental processing on the field is questionable.

But Geno had these same kind of problems. He was significantly improved when coached by Shane Waldron, getting the ball out faster, more decisively - and went from being a bad QB to being a good QB. I'm not trying to change anyone's mind about Fields now (that ship has sailed and we are about to embark on the Caleb ship now). I'm just pointing out that sometimes there are legitimate contributing factors to a player struggling, especially transitioning to the NFL as a starting QB. Meatballs who choose to think supporting talent and coaching does not matter - they just amaze me. I just can't get my head around their "thinking" that the other 10 players on offense don't matter, and that bad coaching and horrific play calling doesn't matter. These are not "excuses" but contributing factors. Denial of them doesn't mean they are not legitimate reasons to weigh and consider. Thoughtful people do this.
