How would Hurts do In Chicago?

Hehe. If he turns the ball over 19 times not very well

He isn’t a Franchise QB. What I’ve been trying to tell you guys all along. Several here tried to compare him to being Hurts. They hate on our guy but see something in Fields. Makes no sense to me.

lol wow sooooo situation doesn’t matter…. You sound stupid…. Again swap Hurts and Fields how does the outcome alter???? You think if Hurts is the QB in Chicago they look better????
 

You cry because of one year of bad coaching and give Hurts numerous excuses for Fields has had that his entire career with the bears he never had the same OC. 

You complain about our OL which is regarded as one of the best in the league. Fields had one of the worst.

You talk about our 3rd WR that would be at best the 4 option in our passing attack…. Fields had DJ Moore that’s it’s.

By all means Hurts might be better but let’s not sit here and act like we are comparing apples to apples…. The situations are completely different  one has a top tier O with studs all around the other has nobodies.

Exactly. Yet Cook, FL and another kept comparing him to Hurts. Just saying he didn’t have a team around him enough is only reason he was having any less success.

Fields in 13 games had what 2600 pass yards 16 tds 9ints 650 rushing yards 5 ypc 4tds

Jalen Hurts in 17 games 3900 passing yards 23 tds 15 ints 600 rushing yards 4ypc 15 tds

Ummmmmm  those are some eerily similar stats for a guy that played in 4 fewer games on a far lesser team with equally terrible coaching. Mind you I think the Bears won 4 of the last 6 while we went 1-5 down the stretch.

I’m just saying if they were to swap teams how different would these two guys look?

If they were "proven" why did they suck with their new teams? Arod we don't even know about yet,maybe he sucks in NY too we shall see

Uh, because it takes a year to jell with a new team. In ARods and Wilsons case he's at the end of his career

I think Fields has flashed and he’s not been helped by what is around him. I don’t think he’s a great NFL QB but I think he deserves another shot to be the starter somewhere. I still think there’s talent there for him to be a good NFL QB. But as a back up here? That would have been risky.

He would have been a very good backup option for us…as I see it. Fields is completely loaded with talent. No questioning that. Real strong arm. Fast. Elusive. But this is where many just don’t understand how those are just tools for the job. A cannon for an arm does not make a Franchise QB. Not even that important for a Franchise QB to have. Rich Gannon comes to mind for me. Or Drew Brees. So many incredible QBs that had much less than the cannon. Really recall most of the football I’ve witnessed was the cannon armed QBs tended to try and force throws way too much. Brett Favre as an example. He could laser in an unbelievable pass into triple coverage and complete it. But he threw tons of interceptions to go along with all those completions.

But here the thing with a Fields and other QBs of his status: sure he could start for some team that doesn’t have a franchise guy. But that solves absolutely nothing. You need a Franchise guy…or he just isn’t the right QB. Fields is a super talented backup QB. 

Many see Fields making this spectacular play to salvage a broken play. That’s where he shines. But what you need the most is to just do the routine QB plays. Be a QB that an OC can run his O through. If I was an OC he’s not the guy I’d be looking for. Can better utilize a guy with half the talent….that just could run my O.

You listed off proven veteran QBs that have established multiple years among the tops league wide. Why bring up ARod? Guy got hurt. Worst field in football. Wilson I kind of saw coming. I as mentioning it when some here were coveting him to be an Eagles. He never was going to choose Philly then anyhow. Watson is a whole other story. Guy was clearly a top five QB. It’s still gotta be there with him. Just needs a coach and situation to get him out of his mental blockage. Part of the issue is say with Watson though is the intangibles. Just don’t think players look to follow him. Things worked for him as this superstar Uber talented winner. His personality and work ethic aren’t ideal though. Really believe this scandal exposing his masseuse sex addiction habits really took more toll than anybody realized. Especially considering the area of his teammates perception of him. A super rich famous NFL QB in the prime of his life….turning all the time to try to get masseuse to really be his prostitute. Really pathetic. Getting laid really shouldn’t be any issues for such a guy. 

Maybe you guys can understand Watson more than I can. I’ve never paid for sex. But going to a masseuse and paying for a hand rub?What the heck is that about? I have zero idea why guys even do that. Watson doing it habitually even.

I’m just on a completely opposite spectrum from Watson. Not rich. Not famous. But just getting an actual massage sounds fantastic to me. That’s what’s actually harder to come by in my life.

Likely a similar path for his career. Build up a bad team. Make his coach look good. He could have brought his best buddy AJ to any city. It’s not like Siri has been anything special of a coach. Actually don’t think Siri would have survived this long with most any other QB. Siri too emotional. Hurts is the grown up that stays even keeled…like the coaches are supposed to be the ones doing. Chicago is cold and outdoor stadium pretty much the same. Chicago really just a better city in my viewpoint. Bigger. Has incredible high end items and lifestyle options. Food isn’t even close. My life experience not sure any city can top Chicago’s food.

Remember Hurts galvanized a broken situation. A four win team that was capped out and old.

First year as a starter…he overcame terrible coaching by Siri. Terrible start. But then willed his team to the playoffs. With Quez freaking Watkins as his number two WR. Smitty being a rookie.

Hurts got his OC fired his guy lol making who look good???? AJ could he get him to come to Chicago???? Last I checked Philly had multiple first rounders that made us able to trade for AJ a trade you didn’t even like for us if I recall correctly Were upset we used that 1st rounder to get him.

Do we want to talk the OL that was already in place???? Kelce/Lane/semaulo not to mention stud OL coach in Stout?

Hurts wasn’t doing anything in Chicago but failing like every other QB that been there let’s be real

And the best OL in football a top TE and had the same exact stats as Fields this year just on a better supporting cast and coaches again still…. Lmao it insane the delusion 

The hurts fan boys damn near making me hate talking Eagles ball… Nothing but excuses for hurts when he bad and how he is good gift to us if he has a decent game just sad 

Mind you our calm collected leader that so great went 1-5 down the stretch then got embarrassed in the playoffs…. Oh wait let’s make excuses for him it’s only all on Hurts if we win he single handily carries us but if we lose it’s everyone else fault no way it’s because Hurts was bad lmao just comical at this point really.

Totally wrong you think I didn’t love how Hurts saved us by finding a WR after Rosie struck out

The delusion isn’t on my end. It’s all those trying to bash our QB or pass rusher over terrible coaching.

Our O was completely figured out league wide. But sure …Hurts was going to save that situation. Please.
