*Rumor* Burns for Fields + picks?

A long time PSL holder who I trust told me today that he heard the team’s pro scouts have been keeping a close eye on Justin Fields recently. He theorized we could trade Burns for Fields and picks. I thought it was interesting bc Fields is a lot like Cam and we already know the Bears want Burns and we need picks. Fields has looked great recently. Tepper is close with the McCaskeys. Something to absolutely keep an eye on. How would you feel about getting back into the first and pick it up Fields?

I'd be shocked. I just can't see Tepper giving up on his super processing PG so quickly but it would be an encouraging sign.

It'd suck for Fields though. Bears to the Panthers. That's jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. The dumpster fire that is.

Imma be honest, I did have a good laugh.. It's possibly the most Panther thing to do.. Trade up for this kid only to turn around and trade Burns to the same team we got the #1 Pick from. Idk how I feel about it tbh.  I really like Justin but we saw how morbid he looked in Chicago with no line and no weapons.

BUT, i'd wonder if they are keeping tabs incase it's the chip that tilts a HC hire.  I'd be over the moon to get back into the 1st and have some additional capital to work with granted we have a new GM running the draft.

Oh, hell, why not?  Bryce and Fields in an open competition in training camp for starter?  At least it would be entertaining.

The Bears are keeping Fields. They'll draft Harrison Jr. and an BPA or Oline/RB with their two 1st rounders. They're close. There is no QB in the Draft that will be better than Fields in 2024.

If they draft Harrison Jr. #1 overall they're dumb as hell. If they're not taking a QB they need to put that pick on the auction block.

I've said this so many times, but people keep telling me about Caleb Williams..

Well if they can swing another pick to make 3 in the first and still get Marvin's kid that'd be brilliant. No QB is worth a #1 pick in 2024.

This is the smart thing to do, sell it to WAS then sell the #2 pick for a haul get a future first from the next sucker.  Continue to build from there.

Could be a possibility. They wouldn't have to fall far back, that's for sure.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
