Stooge
I disagree there are Many bear fans that don't like Fields
Always the contrarian.
This guy is a moron😂, “you gotta take a RB high to get it right”? Most Great running backs in The league today are taken out of the first round or late 1st round
How dare you…
Fields will have an amazing year and silence the critics. Expect big things cause they're coming!
Hub and Carm! Talk about a village idiots convention. Fields had a horrible offensive line last year. And we won’t take Bijon because it’s a passing league.
Yeah no. Bears have mo business picking a RB with the 9th pick 😂
It’s weird lol he is an awful QB
He can't do any worse than the last 30 ABc's except Mchman..
How manyQBs would have done well on the Bears last year
This Hub guy needs to retire. To say JF1 isn't accurate just isn't true. He has the highest completion percentage on deep passes since entering the league. It's more difficult to make short/intermediate throws when you don't have receivers that can create separation. Not to mention he was sacked 55 TIMES! Give me a break. This guy wouldn't survive 1 quarter if he started at QB last year. Let alone nearly break the NFL rushing record for a QB.
L guest!!!!
I think taking best player available is blown out of proportion. U have to rational it with needs. Cuz u taking best player available nfl history normally suggested u were wrong. Last year second round pick we took Kyle Gordon when more of needs were on the board WR and who fell after him was Watson from GB and Pickens in Pittsburgh. So picking best available is correct if u get it right but how can u not account for if u don’t.
The last 30 QB's stunk, Cutler was alright, McMahan was cool too…
Well said Hub! Well said.
With the new Eagle player Eberflus and Poles have had time to see if Da Bears can implement their quarterback sneak technique in training. If they decide they can use or need to use Carter for this task then I can see them trading up and grabbing him before Detroit grabs him. Carter has already decided where he wants to go when he hired his agent last year and has met twice with Chicago already. 🐻⬇️
I was iffy on his take of justin fields and was giving him a pass but then he lost me when he said bears need speed at WR when mooney ram a 4.38 and Moore ran a 4 42 and not to mention V Jones ran a 4.31. Also claypool ran a 4.42 😂🙄
I like hub but i disagree getting a rb may get one later is good though
This team isnt lacking speed. guy doesnt watch bears football, or study our wide outs. Claypool, above average speed, mooney also has very above average speed and route running, and moore has speed. Didnt even bring up Velus Jones, who hasn't figured out the wideout part but is very speedy as a utility guy and PR.
If they are gonna draft a playmaker it has to be JSN
Hub's a Justin hater
I disagree with hub very much
You are against that guy!! But it’s all good he will show you both.
Totally disagree Hub lighten up give Fields a chance he’s generational talent
I love Hub but I feel like the game has passed him by. It's a new era and things are done a lot differently now.
Not sure what Hub is watching??? If you watch ANY tape, you can see Justin go through progressions and reads when he has time. Not only was pressure a problem but receivers getting separation was a huge problem, along with not coming out of breaks on time. I think Hub needs to stop being the same old negative, living in the past of misery beat writer! Wishing you health and prosperity though Hub!
Hub has always been king of the obvious, and his time of relevance is long gone…he would recommend a 1st rd rb.
Somebody needs to keep these old dinosaurs off the air!!!
LT at 9!
I'm sorry but to say say it starts at the QB position is 🤦🏽♂️ it starts with the Oline you can put any QB that is the best at the game behind a bad Oline they will not play well at all. You get justin some protection and some WR he's going to be 1st bears QB to hit 4000 passing
Fields lead led league in comp% in throws 10-19 yds, and that was with his 2nd Offensive Coordinator…who is not proven.
Love Hub, LOVE Hub but you DO NOT take a frickin running back or JSN that you DON'T NEED at #9 especially when you've TWO really good backs & THREEr dynamic Wideouts.. If Poles doesn't think these O & D linemen nor Witherspoon at #9 are top 10 you thern TRADE BACK.
Arkush aint never tip toe'd in the end zone…. WTF DOES HE KNOW!!! WE DONT NEED A RB STOOOOPID!!! WE NEED OLINE/DLINE….
BIJAN isn't even the best RB in the draft, let alone the 2nd best player in this draft.
Good to see hub I grew up on him and bears news I'm 27 now bear dahhn
Justin Fields is already the beat QB we ever had!!! HTF can u see the filed without protection!!!!😂
