Two things are clear…
Fields has NO ANTICIPATION. This is what DJ has said over and over after playing with Caleb about what he has. Also inferring Fields had none.
Report above shows he can’t read the field. His eyes are everywhere as a result they are nowhere.
I think that you and Fleet both make valid points with regards to the “newness” of our current QB situation. We have a body of work on JF whereas we don’t with Caleb so perhaps that makes the JF discussion easier to have at the moment.
With that said, I despise anyone that could criticize a player in the way that this supposed “source” did while at the same time not being willing to put their name on it. It just doesn’t feel like the standup thing to do. Even if you are trying to protect yourself and your career, one could just opt to not say anything at all. Then there is the timing of it as well. Why now? At a time when this coach is presumably no longer here. Fields is no longer here. The integrity of it all just feels highly questionable to me.
Bottom line, I just wish we could be excited about Caleb while simply wishing Justin luck on his future NFL endeavors. Football aside, I believe JF is a good dude that doesn’t deserve to have his professionalism and character attacked on the way out the door. It’s cheap and tacky in my opinion.
Whoever this was, was probably asked the question and was brutally honest in his answer. Right or wrong….
Bill Lazor, DeFilippo? A receivers coach? As far as players, some combo or selection of guys like Alan Robinson, Foles, maybe even Andy Dalton are among the few people who would even know. Josh Lucas was talking about this toxic or dysfunctional stuff in February. Wouldn’t be surprised if Lucas put Dunne in contact with whoever has been talking. I would be a little surprised if anyone from Getsy’s/Eberflus’ staff was involved. Justin had better vibes going with those new people. “Over coaching” notwithstanding.
“We thought having two vets with him would really help him with Andy and Nick, and that was not cohesive at all,” ex-Bears director of player personnel Josh Lucas said. “The part you don’t like about it is that there’s a teachable moment in every point of practice. There’s teachable moments in the building during the day, how you carry yourself as a quarterback. There’s teachable moments at press conferences. There’s teachable moments every snap on Sunday. When you’ve got two guys that have won as much as Nick and seen as much as Andy, and you don’t take that information in, because you’re a little standoffish and a little abrasive, you’re wasting that opportunity.
