No one is going to make Fields a good NFL QB. Quality candidates should avoid this job because for whatever reason, his development is a condition.

I thought Fields was the second coming, no?

I’ve loosely followed, but haven’t turned on the NFL in two years. It hurts because I like football, but if they want to call me a racist because I’m white, then I’m tuning out.

I think the Bears take a perverse pride in picking quarterbacks that are not premium NFL material. Even when they traded picks to move up, they reached for Trubisky with the #2 overall pick, passing on Mahomes and DeShaun Watson. I'm glad they didn't get Mahomes, they would have ruined him.

The Bears like to win with a mediocre or at best serviceable quarterback and a world-class defense. Rex Grossman was mediocre at his peak. Jim McMahon was serviceable when healthy and his head was in the game. Other than that, it has been a string of Bob Avellinis, Jay Plummers and Mitchell Trubiskys.

Let's be honest here: The Shitcago Bears have multiple issues:

1. The Bears first problem is drafting talented, high-quality QB's and then demand the QB change to fit into the Bears offensive system. The Bears don't change their offensive system to match the talents of the QB's they've drafted. As a result, the Bears have RUINED every quality College QB they've drafted in at least the past 30 years.

2. Bears Offensive Line. It's been a sieve for years and they refuse to fix it.

3. The Bears have completely screwed the pooch through poor draft choices and "trading up" (Trubisky) that they cannot for at least another 2-3 seasons begin rebuilding a team in earnest, using the draft. Every good NFL team builds their core of players through the draft and supplements the leadership and experience the team needs through free agency. Every successful modern NFL team has done this. The Bears did the EXACT OPPOSITE for the past decade or longer. The Bears are going to SUCK for at least another 4-5 years because of all their blown draft picks and choices.

4. The McCaskey Family. I've said it before, I'll say it again: The Bears will NEVER win another superbowl as long as the McCaskey family owns them. Period. The only thing the McCaskey family cares about are butts in the seats and tv revenue. They don't care about winning. (Ironically, this is the exact same problem the Cubs had while the Wrigley Corp. owned them, and they didn't win a World Series until they were sold.)

I gave up on the Bears 20 years ago. I'm a Green Bay Packers fan. Go Pack GO!
