They had Poles over a barrel. They knew it had to be a fire sale. The timing is what puzzles me. I thought they would wait to finalize the Caleb visit. So much for working through the process. Do we get any kind of compensatory pick?
It was trade so no.
That is some seriously low value on Fields. I mean I'm not high on Fields but I think he's better than Pickett.
I agree, some insiders claimed Fields was not the most cordial with other QBs when he landed and thought it would be an issue keeping JF with C Williams on roster, plus potential locker room issues with support Fields already has.
You here all the advantages of letting rookie sit behind veteran and in this case it would have probably benefitted Fields future value either when injury to another starter occurred, meanwhile Caleb could have learned and adjusted. Coach needs to be strong enough to talk to leaders and locker room and spin the pros of keeping both.
Best of wishes to Justin in the future. I will continue to root for him. Minus Bears games of course.
GMs see what fans see. He can’t make it through a progression
Yep. He's not a quality starting qb, and he'll show it in Pitt also. If you cannot, as Bears fans, see that he's just like every other past qb, I do not know why.
Guy had a ton of potential, but didn't live up to an ounce of it. In this NFL it's begging for your qb to be throwing for 3.5-4+ K yards and 30+ td's; he cannot even get close to those numbers.
Some guys can play right away(Burrow etc). He needed to sit a few years and learn the game.
I am flabbergasted that they gave Fields away for a 6th rounder, but my BIGGEST ISSUE WITH ALL OF THIS IS:
If they were going to move on from Fields, they should have fired Eberflus and started fresh. We are now in a spot where depending on the outcome of the coming year, Eberflus may be fired and our rookie QB will be forced a whole new offense for year 2. I swear this franchise is nothing but a shit show

even worse, its a 6th rounder NEXT YEAR. in 2025.
But no worries, according to many people here CWill is a generational talent and Will turn this franchise around, C? We'll win the next 5 or 6 super bowls and everybody will be happy.

I am also gobsmacked (I had to outdo flabbergasted)

The best generational talent since Trevor Lawrence and before him Andrew Luck. Add up their SB wins and we could possibly double it!
I guess you can include Mahomes but at the time he was NOT generational. But hey! he has been compared to him and ARod. So there is always a chance that Da Bears got it right this time.

i am also several generations old. I can add another generation when Williams gets drafted. If this keeps up, I will be able to remember when the dinosaurs roamed the earth

And both were still 100% better then JF1, so there's that. If Cwill is Luck/Lawrence good the Bears have 100% improved the qb position.
