    Too much drama around this dude for an overacted prospect. I feel bad for whoever is dumb enough to draft him… that’s going to be a wasted few years.

    Caleb, Caleb, Caleb.

    Let’s talk. Does Chicago have a history of bad quarterbacks? Yes, we do. I’m sorry about that. But let me talk you into joining the Chicago Bears football team.

    1. The Bears aren’t the worst team in football. That’s ordinarily where you’d go as the #1 pick. But we have the pick from a trade. So already, you’re playing with house money. We’re probably only the fourth worst team in the league.

    2. Why are we so bad? Two reasons. First, our quarterback is bad. No surprise there. If you’re drafted, that QB will be gone. Second, our coaching staff is bad. We expect them to be gone soon, too.

    3. So what are you left with? Well, we’ve got a #1 WR. We’ve got a high quality TE. Our running back room is probably a little bit above average. And after a lot of tinkering, our offensive line is improving, too.

    4. And if you saw the game this week, you know we have a defense on the upswing. That’s so much better than your defense at USC, which can’t stop the marching band.

    So look, Caleb, you’re a victim of your own success. The team that drafts you won’t be good. But out of all the bad options, we’re the best. Come on down!

      honestly man I don’t think fields is that bad. i think he’s a top 10 talent at QB in the NFL, but has been set up to fail by awful line and skill players along with atrocious coaching.

      His attitude so far seems really shitty. Dude has a singular heisman to his name and thinks he’s king of the league. More heisman winners have been wash outs in the league than not.

      This. I don’t think people understand the risk he would be putting himself under playing another year at USC. Injury, looking shitty to some really good teams, etc… I’m sure he is getting around 10 mil in NIL money but he isn’t missing out on lifetime money.

    I know this does get said by prospects every year, but I actually wouldn’t be that surprised if he went back to school. He had some big goals in college and this was a nightmare season for him to go out on. I could definitely see him returning to try and make it to the playoffs, especially with more teams making it in next year.
