CLAYPOOL TRADED TO BEARS

I'm always jealous of the teams with two 1st round picks. I'll happily take two somewhere between 18-33. LOL

 

I went to a Bears forum, and one guy posted this


Who the hell took his Notre Dame entrance exam?

I think it's too early to judge him, they have done a terrible job of surrounding him with talent, a bad OL and below average weapons.

 

The Bears receivers don't get many targets, Fields likes to take off and run a lot.

 

He has too, their OL will get him killed.

 

The Bears must not be playing music at their practices either.

 

Keep on losing Chicago...

 

But because of running....most years He will be on the sidelines...like Hurts,Tua, and Lamar

 

Sounds familiar for some reason

 

One of those players is not like the others. Tagovailoa is a pocket passer who can run. Hurts is more of a passer than the other two as well. Jackson and Fields need to run to be effective. They aren't going to scare anybody if they stay in the pocket.

 

Well really I'll leave Tua out of this because He may not play again, and He doesn't depend on His legs You are correct..., but Hurts has rushed for over 740 yards in only 14 games....I would say He depends very much on His running.

 

One was Running, and the other was just taking off.
The point is they are taking a average of 3 times as many Hits as a Qb that play predominately in the pocket. (I believe that's the average I heard on Speak)
So really no matter where they are getting hurt....the telling injury could be coming from a accumulated effect. Why put You franchise most important player in more harm???
It's like last year people will say Lamar was hurt in the pocket, but everyone that seen the Steelers game the week before in the later 4th quarter.....seen Him running down the sidelines trying to get away from the Steelers, and step on the 1st down chain marker....grab His ankle, never run the rest of the game, and low, and behold.....very next game .....same exact ankle hurt in the pocket.
It bad business.

 

No, he takes advantage of his running, but he can hurt opposing teams from the pocket. That is mostly what he did to the Steelers. He can cut back on running the ball and still be effective. Take the run away from Fields and Jackson and they suck.

 

They probably will the Bears are starting Nathan Peterman at QB this week, Fields is dealing with an injury.

 

Yes, but bust QBs tend to not look the part in college. They're usually just throwers with great WRs or scramblers. Fields was a passer and a good one and still is...if he gets upgrades all around him and new offensive philosophy.

Maybe they'll trade us the #1 pick for Matt Canada. Win/win for Steelers.
