    LoL. You don't think having the Defense cause the most turnovers in the NFL, and therefore giving the ball back to the offense over, and over has anything to do with that??

    A defense can have a turnover after a 5 minutes drive or longer too....Overall the bears defense were on the field for 5.8 plays per drive,12th in the NFL.Not bad but not amazing too

    Dude it's simple math . Don't make it complicated.
    If your Defense gives the ball back to the offense, no matter when, that is at least 3 more play for the offense everytime, unless they turn it back over . Now if Your Defense is giving you the ball back more than any team in the NFL, well you do the math, think about it.

    Sometimes a 3 and out is better that a turnovers when this is after a long drive

    That’s been his game ever since college. He plays much better in crunch time.

    Seems like there is always an excuse when a person has hate for a player.

    Having a good defenses always help helps but the QB still has to make plays in order to win games.

    Ball doesn’t lie. What he did last year was the same thing he was doing at USC. I think injury is the only thing that is going to impact his future because he has the arm and talent to be a great QB.

    They're my pick as well. Also you have a new sheriff in town, and a new coordinator who may not appreciate Jackson's skill set if he wants to build on the simplified reads Jackson's always depended on.

    My prediction is this season will lead them to change the QB1 role, meaning they'll pick in the top 15 and will get after a QB in the 2027 draft. I actually respect their selection in this recent draft of Pavia because I think he was a bit underappreciated for what he did. But it's not like he's going to factor in to the starting role and I don't like the rest of their QB depth chart.
