Bears-Bengals - who gets a game ball?

Mahomes has won 3 SBs and multiple MVPs and even he was still getting snaps in the PS yesterday.  

I feel like often the idea of "sitting a rookie QB behind a vet mentor" is just an unspoken admission of the fact that you drafted a guy who already has serious flaws.  Ask yourself this: if Mitch or Fields had looked good and promising in their first OTAs and TCs, do you think all the 1st team reps would have gone to Glennon and Dalton?  Do you think they would have been hidden away in the PS and not allowed to do anything besides handoffs and screen passes?

Been reading some coverage from the Steelers beat guys and man oh man it sure sounds like Pitt has the classic conundrum of "if you have 2 QBs, it means you don't have 1".  Russell Wilson looks cooked.  That guy fell off a cliff big time.  And Fields is what we all know he is.  Contain him in the pocket and play good zone coverage and he's a bottom-third QB.  

I'm keep harping on Mitch and Fields because CW looks so different than those two.  I'm not expecting miracles and I know he will have rookie struggles, but it feels like CW is already better than both of them ever were. 

He can actually throw a proper slant.
Wow, imagine we have a QB who actually has pocket awareness and shiftiness while keeping his eyes downfield.  MT & JF had little of that and Cutler was so unaware that he got wrecked from the blindside over and over.
Watching CW's practice reps on simple quick screens to the flat you can see how much more fluid and quick he is getting the ball out than those guys were.
You know what I loved about that near-TD when RO stepped out?  Tremendous improv skills when flushed out of the pocket.  Mitch would have missed the throw.  Justin would have dropped his eyes and ran.

If CW stays healthy, I expect him to be a rare 4000 yard passer as a rookie.  He should at least do 3500 IMO.  

I agree totally that Nagy wasn't 100% of the problem.  But that doesn't change his contribution to the problem - he was a bad HC here.  What he did (and did not do) with Fields was borderline criminal.  We can "agree to disagree" on that.  

This is entirely my personal speculation.  There has been a lot of criticism about how our first team played against the Bengals' second team, especially during the first quarter.  I think both the team management and the coaching staff understand that regardless of how talented Williams is, he is now (and will be for a while) a rookie NFL QB.  The only really effective way for Williams to adjust to the NFL game is to play the NFL game.  And what we saw was the Bears' way of getting Williams the requisite reps needed to bring him up to speed.  I think that playing our first string OL against the Bengals 2nd team (or a mixture of their 1st and 2nd teams) was a calculated way to give Williams quality reps against a pretty solid defense without a serious risk of getting hit, sacked knocked down, etc.

With regards to Nagy, it was pretty obvious that he was in way over his head.  As was Getsy.  While I am happy that they are both gone, I don't think that they had much more support than Trubisky and Fields did.  They were thrown to the wolves themselves.  I personally wish them well and hope they get a chance in their careers to develop and get another chance at being an OC and/or a HC.
