The bears now have as many wins in 13 games using a backup QB as they do in 31 games when Fields starts. People keep talking about how bad the rest of the roster is (which is true) but it's crazy how other guys have somehow managed to get it done.

Bengals are 7-1 when either Tee Higgins or JaMarr Chase miss a game, ergo the bengals are better when they are missing one of them

Look at lamars mvp season. Fewer passing yards than that, and iirc, fewer rushing yards .

If not it's nearly identical as far as yardage.

And yeah, fields is definitely not without his faults. That's sack rate is an issue as is the fumbling.

Last 17 games 3100 passing 1200 rushing 35 total tds 12 ints and a lot of fumbles.

The fans eagerly await the arrival of Caleb Williams thanks to the incompetence of the panthers management

Is there any precedent to a QB that runs so well (but wasn't a successful QB) transitioning to being a RB? Seems like if he doesn't stick in the league as a QB, he could excel as an RB and keep the defense guessing with gadget plays. And no, I haven't watched enough of Fields to be judging him as a QB, just asking a more general question if this has happened before.

Please don't post this, I need the Bears thinking that they don't need a QB upgrade.

Trade him to a good team. It’s not Fields’ fault.

Fields takes so many sacks, misses easy completions, and the turnovers are really bad too. It's one thing to not move the ball. But Fields has so many negative plays as a passer he actually hurts his team. He's performing worse than a game manager.

Bears fans complain about all the screens...that's because Fields can't run any other passing play well enough consistently

This is it. It’s fear or famine with Fields, and it’s the famines that really set them back

Just wait. Next year’s his mvp season.

Turns out a qb who can’t find an open receiver isn’t good
