Kinda a weird reaction from both of you.

I have a higher opinion of Fields as a player than you do but even if conceding that I’m wrong and you’re right, I’m not sure why you would be trashing him/bashing him on his way out. He was a great locker room guy and provided basically the only excitement on a 2022 Bears team that was terrible.

And it’s not like he cost them anything of significance either the past three years; it was an awful roster in 21 and 22, and a better one in 2023 but still nowhere near a SB contender. All of that is true even if you think he’s an “bum” with no possibility of improvement.

As for your BIL, they gave up essentially nothing. It’s an extremely low risk for a probable low-moderate return, possibly high return if he can get developed more/learn from Russ. Not sure why he’d be “pissed” about this.

I don't know what you saw, sure he had some nice runs here

And there, but he was a horrible, horrible passer. He's Mitch with better mobility. He'll never win anything. Honestly, I've trashed him since they traded up to pick him. Never understood the fans that thought they needed to build around him.

DaBears were last,4th to last & 7th to last in sacks allowed

In his 3 years
And he ran for a ton of yards, prob running for his life

Stillers OL is not great but was better & will get better when they get a center
They might draft another OT

I like Fields & think he will do well with a decent OL
I do not understand Wilson being assumed as the starter already

Part of that is on Fields holding the ball too long

That was my biggest frustration with him.

He has great stats on play action calls

& George Pickens is always open

Apparently Fields was told he will not be starting this year

but to take it as an opportunity to learn from Wilson.

Maybe Fields becomes a Wildcat or WR option like
