I would like everyone to forget all the things I'm wrong about and point out that I've been dogging Nathaniel Hackett since he was the OC of the Jaguars.

Good watch. Everything I learned about quarterbacking, I learned from ole JT, a Mike Sherman acquisition.
On the 1st Love-Doubs TD, rookie “John” Wicks beat a pistol force coverage and was WIDE in the corner of the endzone. But we ain’t playing Madden, so Love trusted his progression and opted for Doubs instead. The best part bout Love is, while he’s still a diamond in the rough, he ain’t look anything like Hundley or Kizer.
His video on Fields game is an interesting contrast. Fields did not have anticipation, would not throw to open receivers downfield and didn't keep his eyes downfield when things started to break down. On the other hand there were a number of of WTF play schemes and some really incompetent blocking on several plays.
Btw, Kentucky, I actually thought of you while watching the highlight of 82 of the Jesters returning a walk-off punt-6 against the Bills on Monday. Did you see the Bill punter’s pathetic attempt at tackling 82? Shades of JK Scott, eh?
Proof that the PFF grading system is bullshit:

I don't have the full breakdown of their scoring, but the fact that they have Fields at #7 and Love at #19 means their system is useless.
PFF probably employs a bunch of math nerds like Bobble who ain’t ever played a down of football. Some of us actually shut down Darren Charles in a game while Bobbles stares at a chalk board full of numbers and figures, wasting time solving unsolvable mathematical equations.
Justin Fields is actually ranked 18th, Love 19th.
Still doesn't make sense to me. Love missed some throws and certainly wasn't perfect, but he didn't fumble or throw a bad pick-6 either. I'd also say more of Love's throws went farther than 5 yards beyond the LOS - Field threw a lot of screens and checks into the flat.
One area Fields had Love beat was scrambling. He had some pretty impressive runs where GB defenders just couldn't get their hands on him. Dude is elusive. Still think Love outplayed Fields, and so do most people who watched the game.
A lot of good points about the unreliability of PFF - going against common sense and observability. Some people seeing it now with Love, though, maybe have been a little bit blind to it in the context of other positions.
Starting to look like the Bears are imploding to me.
Justin Fields' body language and presser speaking volumes. It's like Eberflus (and esp. Getsy) lost this team when they lost to GB.
They'll have 2 top 5 picks, probably including the #1 pick next year.
Probably a new HC and GM too.
Yeah, it's an early take 2 weeks in, but they travel to play KC now and I don't see them winning. Mentally it looks like they are already circling the drain.
