Most impressive to me is how big a step forward he took between these 2 preseason games... Day and night. You like a fast learner as your rookie NFL QB...

Justin Fields came crashing back down to earth. I swear the nfl is so quick to name the next great thing.

I couldn't understand the praise last week, I know it is rookie quarterback enthusiasm, but looked to me like most of his passes were checkdowns less than 5 yards from the line of scrimmage. Doesn't mean he won't be good in the future but the media gets carried away way to early

I didn't see the hype either and it was against MIA 2nd stringers.

I see zero value playing Dalton at QB. Dalton been atrocious in camp and preseason

Chicago should play Fields now…unfortunately Nagy and Pace are trying to keep their jobs and will probably go with the safer option

So far these rookie QB's look really good, especially Lance and Wilson.. Going to be interesting once the real defenses show up in 2 weeks.

I think Grappo will decide when Lance starts - Lance will play when Grappo is injured or plays poorly, although I don't see Grappo playing terrible, he has been pretty decent QB throughout his SF career. Health always has been issue for him.

On a personal note, I drafted Lance in my FFL in late round so I'm hoping Lance will eventually starts after a few games. Or otherwise I have wasted my 15th round pick.

Saw part of the PFF podcast this morning and they made the rather good point that the Bears play the Rams wk1, best to let Dalton take those lumps than destroy a rookies confidence right out of the gate

Yeah Jimmy GQ will get hurt or something... always does

They have been trying to trade him since the draft. They are waiting for a major QB injury among a top half of the league team for draft capital which isn’t a bad strategy at this point.

The rookie Qb's look good cause no one is game planning, vanilla defenses, basic coverages, some are playing against 2nd and 3rd stringers. Reality will set in week one. Like all rookies they're going to have their lumps.

You're right, and the pre-season rookie QB hype is, as always, ridiculous.
You can see Zach Wilson's progress in mechanics, throws and confidence though. Difference in a week is an encouraging sign for his future.

Sure he's gotten off to a good start with some encouraging signs.

But he hasn't been tested yet. Preseason is not a good indicator of success.

Caleb Brantley (who exempt himself fmor 2020) is unsigned. not even sure he got a camp invite anywhere.

Thaddeus Moss, may make the Bengals as 3rd string TE, got that LSU connection with Burrow.

Sua Cravens - finished his degree w USC, part of their pre and post game radio. Seems happy with his life choices, has a baby girl.
