Popular Post Icer Posted August 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2021 Not the greatest debut for Fields. Safe to say its okay to have limited expectations for rookie QB's in their debuts. Lets take a minute to process that before tonight 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenFish Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Fields is still adjusting to the speed of the game. Those windows aren't as open as they were in college. All these guys are going to have to make that adjustment including Zachery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth bearing in mind that Fields has worked exclusively with—and, more importantly, against—the Bears’ second string 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenFish Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Brissett is putting some extra juice on these passes. He's looking good this drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live fire from non-friendlies is a very different thing than shoulder-tapping and non-contact scrimmages. I actually hope that Wilson finds he has more time than he's used to since the Giants don't really have anything like Lawson on that DL. Only thing that worries me is the Giants do have a pretty good D, especially their CBs, they've got an excellent secondary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be effective with a stacked team around him but not making anyone scared 43 minutes ago, GreenFish said: You think so? I saw the first two series. He had a nice throw down the left side line. But in general, his arm just seems weak to me. His ceiling looks to be Chad Pennington after Pennington's arm got even weaker. He looks like he could be ok but not the type of qb that scares you or can take over a game. 32 minutes ago, jvill 51 said: Did Tua attempt a pass to a wide receiver? 27 minutes ago, kdels62 said: Low bar for Tua These are all the exact same observations I made watching Mac Jones the other day. 'Bama QBs all have similar characteristics under Saban...aside from Hurd. Accurate non-risk takers who get to pad their stats throwing to wide open NFL level receivers against overwhelmed and overmatched DBs. The primary job is to not give away the game and put up enough points so the Defense can win it by dominating the game. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsFanatic Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Fields is a rookie QB in his first game. Predictable performance. I’m sure once Wilson throws an incomplete pass tonight he will be labeled a bust. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarletKnight89 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Justin Fields looks awful today. Not that it means much in his first pre season game. I wasn't very impressed with Tua either. Although he looked better than he did last year. He pushed the ball down field more today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defense Wins Championships Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I thought it was a mistake passing on Fields for Zach? Well. That's at least what so many have been telling us throughout training camp etc. 7/12, 52 yards and 3 points. 2 runs for 2 yards? Two early to write off his career just a preseason game etc but I really didn't enjoy all the Justin Fields over Zach Wilson training camp hype... Was also nice to see Tua toss an INT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyLV Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 First real game time for Fields and he did make a nice play on the rollout but I see the same issue with him that I saw in him during his college days- he just processes super slow...its why he had all those pass deflections. Jim Miller in full homer mode though: After Fields throws it 5 yards over the players head: "good placement there, he threw it high" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't get too hung up the stats and all that stuff. It's his first game. In college, he showed elite deep ball accuracy, arm strength and dynamic running. Those elite traits didn't pop today. Could just be him adjusting to speed of the game and playing slower than he can. He'll hopefully develop and start to play faster and showcase those traits. Although those that were concerned about him processing the game slow may have a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFish Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Ok Justin Fields. Starting to show a little swagger. While not the greatest debut, there's enough there to have Bears fans happy.

Jet_Engine1 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Fields takes the snap, frantically looks around the right side of the field double clutching, and then runs for a TD in a Pre-Season game and Bears fans act like they won a SB and announcers talk about his "sCOrInG DrIvE!!".

Irish Jet Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Looked awful for a bit and then had a good drive. Did need a great catch on that long ball. Used his legs very effectively. Nothing to gauge now though. There's no starters, less intense gameplans and no real tape on him yet at this level. The rookie QB's could all be amazing or atrocious and it probably wouldn't say much one way or the other. Especially for Lance and Fields who will have time to develop anyway.

Mogglez Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Two takeaways I have: • Fields looks ok. Settled nicely after a tough start. He won’t get away with rolling out and throwing across his body the entire season. Liked that he climbed the pocket more on that last drive. • Don’t lower your shoulder at any point in the pre-season young fella, lol. Plenty of career ahead of you! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helps when the scrubs come in Also he was terrible in the pocket, all his later success came with him rolling out on every play and the scrubs on defense lost their coverages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
