I am reading all of this stuff and I have to be honest. Some of these comments make me SMH. First of all, the Bears are going to make a big mistake if they sign Fields to a new contract. He isn't going to get it done here. Can the Bears win with him? I doubt it. But one thing is for sure. They are never going to win because of him.
I picked CLE to win today. Not because I am some kind of a genius. To me, it came down to the QBs. I knew Flacco had the ability to win that game and I also knew he had the ability to engineer a game winning drive if needed. He doesn't get rattled. I also knew when it came to crunch time Fields wasn't going to get it done...and he didn't. He did nothing in the 4th quarter.
Some of you guys act like Fields was throwing balls all over the place that were dropped. Early in the final drive Fields scrambled to his right and had a man wide open about 25-30 yards up the right sideline. He threw a pass that was too high and uncatchable. When you have less than 40 seconds left in the game and no timeouts that pass HAS to be completed. And that 46.5 QB rating Fields had isn't going to beat any team.
On the other hand, Flacco threw three INTs in the game. But when it came time to make a 4th quarter comeback and engineer a game winning drive he got it done.
When you have an offense that can only get you 11 points you shouldn't expect to win. Yes, the defense scored the other 6. Pitiful. Sorry guys. Fields has to go or we'll be having some of the same conversations next year.
