If Hurts has Fields arm, I’d be ok with that.  

If hurts could ever pass with the same accuracy Id be ok with that too. 7/8 completions tonight with 8.8 avg is beyond Hurts' wildest dreams.

He went 6 for 6 with 2 TD’s on one drive in a preseason game.

Bears led 27-21 at the half of last years Sunday night game

Didn't they end up getting beat pretty handily though? Honestly don't remember.

45-30.  But that game was entertaining as hell.

 No, people in here ( pillars ) and others do that, and then don’t know the most simple things.  

The average football fan, one who doesn't follow the draft religiously or isn't a Michigan fan could easily be clueless.  It's really not a big deal.

Fields hasn’t been good.  But his delivery and zip is a lot more NFL-like than Jalen Tebow’s.  

Im sure he hasnt. But he has a 103 rating in this game with a great completion %. More than we can ask of Hurts.

A lot of late leads being blown both weeks so far.  Hopefully Hurts plays much better in the 4th quarter tomorrow than he did against the Lions 

Hopefully the whole Offense plays much better in the 4th quarter tomorrow than they did against the Lions 

I'd really like to see Devonta Smith avoid the sophomore slump everyone has been expecting; that concern obviously spiraled out of control in week 1.

For all the Howie love lately, if Smith turns into a pumpkin/JAG in this offense (somewhat reminiscent of the early career splashes of NFL ready but low explosion guys like Reggie Brown and Jordan Matthews), that's going to be a sad disappointment.  Trading out of Waddle and passing up Parsons for an ignored #2 isn't the way you want break free from the  Barnett, Dillard, Reagor lineage.  

 

Rodgers is going to murder Christian Watson 🤣

I'm tired of watching A-Aron destroy garbage teams on primetime.

Sure it is, when you argue with those who follow the draft religiously and watch tons of games every weekend.

When I was in college I was the Don Corleone before Don Corleone had Twitter updaes to provide. There was no twitter.

I had my threads in the draft section where I caught every single senior bowl practice all week long. I posted live updates of all weigh ins, and then I posted literal play by play, observations, and interesting quotes from the telecast all day long, all week long. People loved those threads.

I had time like no ones business. It was crazy.

 

Now, I catch literally no senior bowl coverage at all. I watch portions of the combine, recorded. 

I cant keep track of who signs where in free agency and trades. I cant remember who got drafted where. And I dont think of checking in on guys I liked if they didnt end up in Philly. I have no idea what is going on with depth charts around the league. This is why I dont like being in the last 2 fantasy football leagues I cant seem to get out of. Im out of that loop. Not my lifestyle anymore.

I study a ton of draft prospects in pretty quick cram sessions when I can find time, but I cant follow the whole college season. Still do a hell of a job on the draft which makes guys like @ToastJenkins very jealous.

DeVonta Smith is a stud. End of story.

Would you rather watch Jalen squeak by average teams on a Sunday afternoon ??

What's your definition of a stud WR?

I'd rather not watch Jalen at all.

You were saying about Tua ??

Tokk Hurts job, and then took Lamar’s win.

 The same people that say "Hurts needs more time,” literally crap on QB’s drafted with and after him.  
 Fact is Miami has had one of the worst O lines in NFL history since Tua was drafted, not to mention his rookie season OC was brought out of a 2-3 yr retirement, Chan F Gailey.  Flores hated Tua, and didn’t want him, according to some ass wipes, Flores must be racist!

 Same goes for Fields and Lawrence, one had a complete jackass as his head coach, the other (Fields) had an O-Line that rivaled Miami’s ineptitude.

Can’t put my finger on it with the Raiders. Through multiple coaching staffs, towns, players - they always find a way to disappoint. I know it wasn’t Carr’s fault today but he’s the only constant across all of it the last 8 years. Well, of course aside from Davis.

There just like the Oakland Raiders of 2000 through 2020

Let's go Bears!

Make it a game here

Carr hasn't looked good this year, but he's in a new system that can be a lot for anyone playing in it for the first time. I think the Raiders will be a very good team by the end of the year still.

The new system excuse may be the most lazy, tired excuse ever.

Wentz is in his 3rd system in 3 years, averaging 325 yards and 3 1/2 TD’s a game so far.

Sorry, next time I'll consult you, the Football Master. You have it all figured out. Surprised you're not a head coach.

Bears doing Bears things.

Why line up in shotgun there to sneak it in with Fields?

Dumb.
