Last night's Packers v 49ers OMG.

Sneakylong He can throw. They know he won't stand still long enough to do it, so they 'say' they've designed plays for him to run. When he chickenshits out of the pocket.
2 300# linemen hitting you/falling on you, or a 250 LB slamming full speed into you, is not the same as 1 220# CB making 'just a tackle'. And he knows it, it appears.

Yeah, he threw pretty well at Ohio State. In the NFL he has to learn to read defenses though. He seems like he takes off too quick and doesn’t go thru his progressions.

Let’s face it though. Chicago hasn’t had a decent quarterback since when? Jim McMahon back in the 80’s. Lol

Pretty sure Fields has been sacked more than any QB in last 2 yrs.

Par4QC

propman He's at 36 so far this season(leader). Last season he had 36 total. Still has a way to go to pass Burrow, with 81 for this(30) and last(51) seasons. So far.
But, iirc, he did not start every game last season as he got injured(Fields).
Plus, he has already had as many fumbles this season as he did all of the last. 12...great avg/per game.

But man...can he run those designed plays. 🤣

propman

Terrible oline, marginal receivers usually equates to a QB running designed or not. Especially if the QB has the size and speed of Fields.

I'm already on the list, so.......😎

Sneakylong Actually heard somebody on a sports talk show say that there is evidence that most quarterback injuries occur when pocket passers get sacked, rather than when running quarterbacks get hit.
I don't know if it is true. The smart ones know when to get out of bounds or slide. Russell Wilson has been running a lot for a lot of years and has stayed pretty healthy. He times his slides perfectly.
RGIII, on the other hand, ran right into trouble, over and over again.

rsvman2 Having watched every NFL game of Justin Fields, I agree with that. With one notable exception last game when he trucked a would be tackler DB on the goal line, he doesn't take much contact. And he is 230 lbs moving like a gazelle. I suspect he's in more danger in the pocket.

RG3 and Cam are warnings though.

For sure. Brady got hit in the knee while in the pocket. Tore his knee and was out for the season. But they’ve changed the rules protecting the quarterback more in the pocket since then.

Yeah, knowing when to slide is key.

DonM RG3 and Cam are warnings though.

RG3 was spindly. A gazelle built like a gazelle. It was inevitable with the speed and size of NFL secondary defense guys.

Fields holds it too long in the pocket. I don't know if that's because he sucks or because others want him to be a pocket passer. Let him do what he's good at. You guys drafted him, what's the point of making him into something he's not! I don't know if he's Lamar Jackson, but he ain't a prototype pocket passer!

ode Fields holds it too long in the pocket.

A lot of that is due to only 2 men downfield, and backs are blocking wide. Goes back to what I've said about the coaches/play calling.

Par4QC

Sneakylong he threw pretty well at Ohio State. In the NFL he has to learn to read defenses though.

He ran fairly well there also. But, that's college ball.
I think he's trying to read the defense after the ball is snapped, not before. But, he does need someone to throw to. And quit giving him the option of running every play.

Chicago will never have that 'great' QB, as long as they have the owners they have now. Run oriented from 100 yrs. ago. imo, that's why they got Fields, for his running ability, not for a true QB. Which makes no sense with the backfield they had in place. Now 1 is gone.
They aren't looking for wins this year anyway, and should have done more trades/better trades. ...Neeeext year..... smh

Just heard a stat that Justin Fields has lost more games in two seasons than Lamar Jackson has lost in 5 seasons.

Sarnella With those gals, that is going to be 1 funny movie.

Sneakylong shorter careers too. And not because of injuries. It's just when they get slower their main weapon is gone. None of them are great passers.

garyt1957

Sneakylong Lamar just got drafted into a better situation with that D. Switch them out and there wouldn't be a ton of difference, imo. I love watching Lamar, but he ain't all that
