I do think it does require a certain level of pathos to keep cheering for the demise of a guy who was almost singlehandedly your only source of entertainment as a Bears fan for 2 seasons (21 & 22).

He's not a Bear anymore. If you don't want to wish him well, then at least don't be obsessed with his failure...

David and houston might be. They were one of the few who refuses to look at stats when we debated about keeping Fields. Like the old saying goes. Stats don't lie.

Stats DO lie. They don't tell the whole story.

“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”

not everything is as it seems with statistics. Corporations, agencies,
and even some scientists manipulate the facts and figures to make the
numbers say something that isn’t true. Statistics can be misused to give
a feeling of insight and weightiness when there is in fact a lack of
both, and it is important to understand how statistics can be
manipulated.

Lol, I thought the exact same thing. I think maybe he was going for "The tape doesn't lie" which is an actual expression.

I was all-in on keeping Justin here. But he simply is not progressing as a QB. There are multiple reports that he has accuracy issues and is more of a great running athlete than as a passing QB. I wonder if he will end up being an RB in the league in the end? It may come down to him being a career backup as a QB, versus being a starting RB. It sounds like there is zero chance of him beating out Russell Wilson - who is not that good of a QB at this point in his career.

Steelers QB Justin Fields Struggling In Camp Per Pittsburgh Insider. But Fields struggled in Chicago to the point where the team gave up on him after three seasons of lackluster play. Now in Pittsburgh, Fields might be already experiencing the same issues he had in Chicago per team insider Ray Fittipaldo. "Fields, from what I've seen, they had a month of spring practices here and he's a terrific athlete, but really the knocks against him that I heard coming in actually turned out to be true," Fittipaldo said on SiriusXM radio.

LINK
Reports of Fields struggling through camp don’t need to be taken as indicative of anything but his chances of overtaking Wilson. He could still see playing time, he may improve upon his flashes with the Chicago Bears. But for now, his impact on the offense is theoretical.

Back up QB money is better and lasts longer than running back money! LOL. We'll see what happens when pads come on and Russ has to face live bullets and the defense has to worry about what Fields can do with his legs. Shorts and t-shirt football is much different than actual football. Still, the accuracy issues are not something you want to read about in shorts and t-shirt football.

He's learning a new offense for starters. This is real life guys, not Madden. QBs aren't just plug and play to other teams in a trade.

It'll take him some time to get some things right.

Agreed. Don't forget, he had to (or maybe still has to) unlearn Nagy's training and habits, Getsy's "training", and now he has to learn a new system with new players and coaches, in a new town and new facility. It will definitely take time.

Speaking of former Bears having issues in new places...seems Getsy is having some issues out there in Vegas.

Can't be true, I was told it was all Fields' fault that Getsy couldn't succeed here...
