Episode description

He reiterates that the Bears need to move on from Justin Fields, why Fields could still find success with another team, and suggests a potential suitor in the NFC South (3:00). He also looks at the Bears options with the likely #1 pick and another potential top 10 pick (5:30).

This is a paid advertisement, all right, instant reaction on that dreadful mess

between the Vikings and the Bears. Well, there's a direct correlation between quality of quarterback play and quality of game. Trevor Lawrence gets c. J. Stroud pretty damn entertaining, Joshua Dobbs and Justin Fields drek. At this point, Justin Fields is auditioning for another job. So he's not consistently productive enough, doesn't consistently win enough, isn't consistent enough, isn't consistently healthy enough to pass on Caleb Williams, who is a better

prospect than just Fields is or was. And you also get to restart the clock. It's not hard. There's no reason to continually capitulate those two fumbles by Justin Fields. Almost every pass, you know, he had one big pass maybe to the entire game. Down the field. Everything's like near the line of scrimmage. I think, you know. One of the things my takeaway is I don't consider Minnesota to have, you know, a world class defense. I don't think he sees the field terribly well. And by this

time you need to. You know, some guys walk into this league and they have it figured out very quickly and some don't. And CJ. Stroud's a great example of you got it or you don't. And he has a very shaky run game. A rookie defensive coach, first time play caller, pretty average, the below average roster, and he sees the field, lets it rip, and delivers the ball accurately. Some have it, some don't. So I think Justin Fields is talented enough to garner like a second or a

third round pick. Put him on an offensive staff with some weapons like Atlanta. You know he's from Georgia. I think he'd be fun to watch. I watch this is more of a defensive culture. I mean, Matt Eberflus may not be your favorite coach or mine, but the Bears have the number one run defense in the league. I don't think they have the best run personnel in the league. I don't think they have as good a defensive personnel as Baltimore, San Francisco, Philadelphia, but they're the number one

run defense in the league. That goes on Matt Eberflus's resume, whether they keep him or not. He's a defensive coach and has shown some stride, some real growth on the defensive side of the ball. I do think Justin Fields would be better served with an offensive coach and an offensive leading culture Atlanta with Bejon Robinson, Drake London, Kyle Pitt's pretty good old line. Weaker division perhaps, But you know,

Justin Field is auditioning. There's no reason to capitulate. There's only two types of quarterbacks who usually end up raising trophies stars. Justin Fields is not that or very very talented rookie quarterbacks or very very very talented young quarterbacks on a rookie deal. And you got to make a decision here pretty quick if you're gonna pay Justin Fields

or not. And again, they're just not consistent enough. Doesn't sow the ball down the field accurately, consistently enough, no reason to argue about it, but good enough, talented enough to get a second shot. There's nine to ten teams every year that are looking for a quarterback. Never forget those numbers, over fifty quarterbacks on average play in the NFL. Now, you need quarterbacks, you need talent in the building. And he's a big kid that runs well, can make plays.

But you know, in a strange way, winning because Chicago's going nowhere does them no favors tonight, you know they want to have They're gonna get Carolina's pick, so they're gonna take Caleb Williams. And you'd like that other pick, you know, to be somewhere in the five six range, so you can get They don't need a left tackle. They could probably use. There's one great rush end, you know, Matt Eberflus. You know, I could see them if he retains his job, GM retains his job going after a

defensive player. But we know there's three or four quarterbacks that are going to go early. Marvin Harrison's going to go early. There's two offensive tackles that are going to go early, and one or two defensive players. So he's auditioning. That's fine, but there's no reason to go back and forth on it right at this point. Consistency, health, production, wins, just not enough of it. It's okay, it's okay. The average NFL draft gives us one big time quarterback annually.

That's about it. You have the occasional rare, you know, two guys hit. There's been a few historically three do, and there's been several where none hit. But it's about one a year and that's now you would think it would be more. And I do think the Bownecks, Kayleb Williams, Drake May, Michael Pennix, Jayden Daniels, LSU class it's pretty good. That's a pretty good class. I can see two guys hitting,

but very rarely do you have a player. And I think Kayleb Williams could be the exception, Andrew Luck, Trevor Lawrence good enough to overcome some early chaos. I don't think Justin's there and I think we all know it, so he's auditioning. Caleb Williams will be the guy, and Cale's a better player, sees the field, better, justice athletic, more accurate thrower on a consistent level. We'll see. But yeah,

I don't trust Chicago to do the right thing. I mean, if there's I've said this before, and they've been around for one hundred years of franchise, they've never had one great consistent quarterback for any duration, which is you can't even get your arms around that, and never done it. I mean, at least the Lions had Matt Stafford for over a decade. I mean, you look at Washington, they

had Sonny Jurgensen had Joe thisman. You know, Washington's won multiple super Bowls, multiple quarterbacks with Joe Gibbs, you know, Doug Williams. What a super Bowl Chicago just I mean it was Rex Grossman for five minutes, Jay Cutler for a few years. They don't do quarterbacks very well. It's a defensive culture. They're still living off the eighty five Bears. But I do I do think maybe in the seventies eighties, Justin Fields would get another year in Chicago. But that's

not the way the world works anymore. And that's my second topic. David Tepper firing Frank Wright. I have talked about this and about the low hit rate on quarterbacks in the NFL, and I think a lot of it is the business side of the NFL. All these owners are now billionaires, so they look at a coaching contract where they owe a coach seventy million dollars, sixty million dollars, fifty million dollars. It's a rounding air. It wasn't when owners were making, you know, twenty five million a year

and had a net worth of four hundred million. They would not just write off a coach after twelve games. Thirteen games. But now these guys are all worth six billion dollars, fourteen billion dollars, twenty billion dollars. David Tepper is I think first or second third richestone. He's just going to write it off. And so what happens is Bryce Young now gets another coordinator, another staff, another system,

and that will stunt the growth of Bryce Young. And I think part of why all these young quarterbacks Tom Brady talked about the league football is not as good as it was years ago because there was more stability. It's hard enough to be a quarterback in this league. I mean Bryce Young, he got a new coach, new system, new coordinator, new quarterback coach. You know, even through year one,

they're already got rid of their guy. And so I think when something is hard to do, franchise quarterback play in the NFL, and then you add chaos and change to it makes it twice as tough. So you know, Tom, when Tom Brady said, you know, quality of play in the NFL is worse. Ownership is richer, more impatient, more meddling, more impulsive, more willing to make radical and quick change, which makes it harder to quarterback. Does it make it harder to be a good running back or a good

corner or a talented left tackle. The quarterback is all about coaching and system and momentum and protection and chemistry and choreography. And if you're constantly changing coordinators. I've said this about Justin Herbert. He's on his third coordinator and his second head coach. What is he in year five? There's a lot of change, and it just makes it really difficult. So I don't think I think there's a direct correlation to quality of quarterback play and quality of football,

you know. And a great example, I mean, I think a really great example of this is CJ. Stroud. Nobody wanted to watch the Texans the last seven or eight years, six or seven years c J. Stroud. Now they play Jacksonville this weekend, highly entertaining, highly entertaining. I mean, Russell Wilson gets the right coach. I like watching the Denver Broncos now young, tough defense. They can throw the ball,

they run, they power run it. They've got Mims, They've got Jerry Judy, they got Courtland Sutton, they have capable tight ends. I like their running backs Denver all of a sudden, same roster as last year, but the quality of quarterback efficiency's gone up. Broncos are now a fun watch. Broncos are like, okay, they could move the change. They've won five straight. It's all the same players that six weeks ago. It's all the same players last year except

the left tackles here and healthy. But I don't think the quality of plays worse than the NFL. I think the impatience of owners and the constant influx of change has made it harder to be a franchise quarterback as a young quarterback. And that's what it looks like. Drek uneven, inefficient, it's not good. But when you get good quarterback play, Jalen hurts, Josh Allen, it's great television. It's fantastic television.

You know. I went to watch Bonix Oregon play Michael Pennox Washington's one of the best college games I've ever been to. I watched Matt Lioner at USC play Vince Young Texas years ago, years and years and years ago. It's one of the best college games I've ever seen. So, you know, you can have the world's greatest athletes. New England with Brady defensive culture, couldn't turn them off Mac Jones Bailey's Appy unwatchable, simple as that Football's not worse.

Impatience is at an all time high. Top down puts pressure on the coach, the quarterback, the coordinators. It's not good Carolina embarrassing, not good the vine in the NBA. The games can change in an instant, but no matter how the action unfold. Do you know that DraftKings sports Book has you covered? This week?
