    Don't expect to see Fields starting any time soon unless something happens to Dalton. Andy Dalton is firmly ahead of Fields on the depth chart. 

    Bears open with the Rams, Bengals and Browns. There's a real chance they'll be 1-2 or 0-3 and the pressure to start Fields will be very high, whether he's ready or not.

    if you go to the link, click on the logo to take you to the main page, there is a watch live button in the top right corner.  No guarantee it will be there tonight, but I'll be trying.

    WSOC and WCSC are both currently showing the News. It started at 7pm, right?

    Just watched the Hall of Fame game and neither starting QB played . I understand there was health reasons .  How much do you see Darnald playing in our first preseason game? The backup QB is very important . The backup QBs for Dallas and Pitt looked pretty good . How do you think ours will look ?

    Well Dak was hurt and Big Ben's going into his 18th year. He doesn't' exactly need many preseason reps at this point.

    With four preseason games, teams had a pattern, but I don't know how teams will parse out reps with just three games, especially after having zero preseason games last year.

    I think we'll see Darnold play a couple of series at Indy, maybe a quarter against Baltimore and then back to a series or two against Pittsburgh, depending on how both he and the offense look. But that's a pure guess.

    Just put CMC in bubblewrap and don't even give him a helmet until Week 1.

  4. The biggest concern I'd have from Fields doing well is that it emboldens Tepper to get more involved. Even more so if Darnold doesn't pan out.

    Look, I was the biggest Fields fan pre-draft. Loved the kid. I was screaming at the TV for us to take him. But we didn't. We aren't getting a mulligan. He's a Bear. 

    But now put yourself in David Tepper's shoes. You were right about Fields. You knew it, but you trusted your football people and it blew up in your face (scenario assuming Darnold is Jet's Darnold again.) Now when the draft comes around again, and you get a conviction about a prospect, you're probably more likely to throw your considerable influence around. That would be my concern. I hope that makes sense.

    From what I’m gathering the Colts have had a terrible camp, wonder how that translates into our joint sessions.

    Their defense is still really good which should give us a great read on our offense. Both of the teams we are having joint practices with have good defenses. 

  6. Playing for the Cowboys gives any player a boost in these types of awards (MVP, OROY, DROY, DPOY, OPOY). The Cowboys are just shown more often so more people see them outside of highlights, though things like the Red Zone channel are probably helping to even the field a bit.
