Years of losing does that to a franchise. It’s why Dan Campbell has been successful. He’s changed that culture which resulted in wins. That’s why I’m not sure Eberflus is the guy.
I agree with Justin Fields! The major reason why the Bears are failed to succeed is Bears ownership, GM and Coaches! This has been occurring for decades.
You know what changes a culture.....a franchise QB than wins games. Bears fans still making excuses for Fields. The offensive coordinator was so bad? You ever think he had to run the offense the way he did because of Fields? He was a bust, plain and simple. And as a Packers fan, I was praying that the bears fans got their way and they kept Fields.
Bottom line is culture is created through leadership and it starts with the QB. He never once held himself accountable and at a certain point hinted in a press conference that it was the coaches fault for the teams shortcommings. Sure his running ability inclined people to believe he had "potential," but the fact of the matter is, hes not a good passer and he cant read an NFL defense. Relying on athleticism may work in college, but as we all know, the NFL is a totally different animal where the room for error is much more slim. He Simply doesnt have it between the ears and has surrounded himself with "yes men" too often.
Justin Fields needs to take some accountability too, he hasn't developed since college or arguably high school, his vision is limited, he won't throw to tight windows, his mechanics are HORRENDOUS, and he's basically playing a high school ball where it's one read and take off running. Now Russel Wilson made a career out of it but he lucked out playing for the best defense since the Ravens and Buccaneers days and had a great running game. His mechanics were all over the place, did see something Bears did mess with it a little but his backpedal from under center was bottom 3rd slowest, his release is also bottom half or bottom 3rd slow, you might say it doesn't matter BUT if you go back to last year, Raiders game Tyson Bagent spend most of the game hitting 3, 4, 5 yard outs WELL because of Fields slow mechanics, that play is gone by the time he's ready to throw, it's something that Brady, Manning, Brees feasted on and Aaron Rodgers tortured Bears tampa 2 defense with. He has more turnovers than games played I believe which is NOT a good thing for a QB. He didn't always set his feet while throwing, which let to overthrows, short throws and sometimes interceptions, and his fumbling issue might be even worse. What Fields ISN'T is a west coast QB, timing and rhythm QB, which most successful teams long term happen to be. What Fields happens to be is super athlete trying to play QB position, he has a LOT of shortcomings and you need to build a roster, team and coaching staff that cater to his good traits and skills while hiding his weaknesses. It's obvious the bears weren't interested in doing that.
I dont blame Fields. Poles traded away all the talent and hung Fields out to dry. Things improved now but while Fields was here, the culture wasnt a winning one.
Fields never had a chance in Chicago Yr 1 he only played a few games because of the coach and due to his team being injured Yr2 Chicago was tanking to get the #1 pick which was then traded for more picks and DJ Moore Justin had zero weapons think year and his best WR was 5ft 8 180 lb Darnell Mooney🤮 And a New head coach YR 3 he had one good receiver and a load of 3rd string RBs and a shakey defense DJ Moore had his best statistical season and Fields improved in nearly every offensive category And the teams win totals improved
Your comments calling these men middle school and Jr. High players is an absolute insult to these players . Apologize to those men , it's outrageous and shameful of you ma'am
@@dgraham031588 Caleb is more a pure passer. He won't need 3 seasons to show improvement. Fields after 3 seasons . Didn't improve enough. No other team would have given him 3 seasons.
The Bears Culture isn't the best. The fans are Fickle, the press will crucify you and the QB and offense will always be the scapegoat when the bears lose. They change the coaches, GMs and QBs every few years but then the new GMs and Coaches never build around their QB. This time has been a little different as the GM came in with a plan based on a model that worked and with the offensive weapons they signed only bad coaching and rookie mistakes from their inexperienced signal callers should cause them to fail. Justin has every right to be upset because they finally got the weapons that would have helped him succeed and then they ship him off to another team for a late round pick.
Exactly, we don’t want to pay Justin so ship him off. Getsy was pathetic. He shined despite a horrible situation. The Bears cost Justin at least $100 million.
There can only be 32 starting QBs in the NFL. These QBs are paid tens of millions of dollars per year. It is one of the most coveted careers on planet earth. Justin Fields is not 1/32. Maybe he is a top 100 QB globally - which is very, very good! However, he is not good enough to be a starter. I am an OSU alum and big fan of my Buckeyes, by the way.
