Robert Griffin III: Bears Should Keep Fields and Trade #1 Overall Draft Pick | The Rich Eisen Show

That's because people know that the CHICAGO BEAR'S got something good in JUSTIN MF FIELDS they know that Justin can be the next man up LET'S GO BEAR'S

RG3 nails it!

I know the shiny new players everyone would like to get are the QB's and WR's at the top of the draft but the trenches are where the bears are the weakest. Trading back will significantly increase the odds of adding quality depth there for years to come.

Not a bad take by RGIII... The one thing we never hear is the Fields Camp pushing back. Been very professional about the turbulence so respect has been earned there. Just wonder how he is feeling about all of this. Does he want out? The Bears have been awful at QB forever!!!! 3 HOF's in GB and looks like there could be a 4th lining up.

If Eberflus was fired, then, yeah, I would have said the Bears was going to trade Fields and start everything over from scratch. But the fact the Bears retained Eberflus, let me know they are going to build on from last season with Fields at QB.

Knowing who Justin is after year 3, bears are better off taking a shot at QB. Not worth picking up the 5th year and potentially finding yourself in a Daniel Jones situation or even worse knowing who he is now.

No, they should NOT keep Fields. If they don't draft a quarterback, they better hope Bagent is going to be good - because he's WAY better than Fields.

Bears are going QB

Interesting thoughts by Griffin

If they do they are doomed to stay mediocre

Yeah I don’t think that’s zigging or zagging or whatever you said… I think the smart move is to keep Justin Fields there’s no proof there’s no evidence that Caleb Williams will be any better… He isn’t Patrick Mahomes… Remember college defense sucks, and the reason why he makes so many throws to open receivers is because they are wide open and it’s because he scrambles, like Johnny douche bag, Black Kyler Murray, so he’s just a little bit better than Kyler Murray, maybe a little bit bigger, but when a guy scrambles around the defenses, the cornerbacks, have to watch out for him so that leaves guys open… How many tight window throws has he done? Compared to Justin Fields in the NFL? He’s not playing against NFL players so there’s no comparison. You can say all you want about Caleb Williams but I think Justin Field is also a generational talent who is also bigger, stronger and faster… With a bigger arm, Justin Fields has a rocket Caleb Williams has got a good arm more like Bryce Young… But he’s not the same players Justin feels no damn way.Robert Griffin is absolutely right.

Well said absolutely right, I don’t want Caleb Williams or another quarterback, build around Justin Fields keep building this team they will get in the playoffs and become a much better team in a year or two

Another ESPN analyst thinking on emotions and not reality.. Of course you would keep Fields, that's why you work for woke ESPN and not for NFL

NO THANKS! I cannot watch any more 120 yard pass games

Makes sense

The bears have to ask this question: can fields win the north and can he win a Super Bowl. I personally think that fields can be a great quarterback, but he has never been consistent. I thought they should stick with him last year but with Caleb Williams an option… I can’t see how they don’t pass that up

RG3 gets it 🙌

Help me out here. If you decline the 5th year option and run it back, and the Bears finish 4th again, then Poles is getting fired along with the coach and qb. Whatever draft capital you pick up is going to be left for the next GM. If Fields stops fumbling, stops taking sacks at a David Carr rate, lowers his interception rate, shows some competency against zone defenses, and stays healthy, then the Bears would be using the franchise tag to keep him which would be more than $13 million more than the 5th year option.

Also, the Bears had a 4-1 stretch late in the season when the defense got 13 interceptions per and 14 sacks while facing four qbs who did not start the season as their team's starter. It was an unheard of rate of interceptions, and a sack rate that put them at the top of the league. I'm sure that is sustainable, and Fields clearly showed his value on the defensive side of the ball.

Thanks RGIII! You know your ish!

Packers have 5 of the Top 91 picks. How do they keep doing it!???

CHI gave Fields NO help.
What's Caleb Williams gonna do w/ZERO help?
Same as Fields. Get more picks for the #1 pick.

Exactly. You have to ju jitsu this situation a little- if Williams is so highly coveted, just think of what you can get for him. Fields is only going to get better. He needs 2 things: consistent, smart coaching, and good supporting players.

Rg3 is right

RGIII is dumb his response show that like all the time he speaks, no wonder didn't have god carrier. Mahoms-Allen, Mahoms-Lamar shows why you need Caleb, If Caleb is 70% Mahoms you have a chance for multiple superbowls and he wants to stay with a weak pocket passer

It’s a good thing he isn’t in charge

RGIII isn't the brightest person when it comes to football, if the Bears did that they would be in the same position the Giants were with Jones.

This is why they should’ve fired flus. Should’ve married the coach and qb but they are doing it backwards again. New Gm same mistakes.

👑King Poles👑 zags! You all keep zigging: Zagism

Thank you go get Marvin Harrison jr

If you don't know by year 3 if your qb is your guy or not, you have your answer. We need to take Caleb,. Eberflus isn't being fired after this next year. He has a longer leash than people think.

while I like RGIII's plan, the major concern w it is if fields doesn't work out. yea u have multiple first rd picks but there isn't a QB worth taking that high in the next few drafts. plus the bears roster is good enough to not be a top 10 pick so it'd take a good amount to trade up. while I want fields to stay, you rly can only do so if Williams doesn't blow you away or fields off season improvement does.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not everyone is pro Caleb for the Bears.

There is really no chance at all Justin Fields is on the Bears next season

Poles is gonna do exactly what RG3 is saying

The bears have shown that they can win with fields simple as that

Yes he’s a flawed player but they can win with him

Fix the OL DL add another receiver and running back then judge this team next season

Trade back for more picks and enough cap space to get it done

this is the reason why not to keep fields. rg3 = cornball

I agree with RG III

Agreed w/ rg3 ... Sounds like bears are running it back 🤦🏽 ... I would have fired Eberfuks a long time ago. Haha 🏈🐢🏈🐢🏈

I can’t believe he gets paid for these type of takes … eisen could barely respond … but did a good job… zigging instead of zagging … lol…. RG3 takes are more for comic relief

RG3 not right on this one

Makes sense!!!

You trade down and get MHJ. Its not a Caleb vs Fields debate, its a MHJ debate. He is the gem of this draft. Get the draft capital from the trade down and grab the WR. Imagine the #18 Bears jersey sales, I have mine on order. Trade down, Bear down!

THANK U RG3

Lazy take, Justin Fields regressed during that stretch to end the season and even if the roster is better, you’ll still be missing the most important piece, which is the QB. How’s that working out for the Jets? Talented teams are always handicapped by bad QBs, only in rare circumstances are mediocre or below average guys propped up by the talent around them because that talent depends on the QB to succeed.

I say trade Fields, trade their #1 pick, get Harrison, some linemen, a QB in later rounds, sign Russ Wilson

NOPE. Justin is highly talented and will get better, but not in Chicago. Poles, Flus and Getsy botched the assignment. Everybody needs a fresh start in this situation.

Preach Robert

Just so everyone knows... the bears finished 2nd in rushing yards.... but if you remove JF1 rushing yds, all of a sudden, they are 20th in the NFL ✌️ JF1 is not the problem

As a packer fan stay with fields As a nfl connoisseur they would be crazy to leave Caleb Williams there

Trade #1 to Patriots, draft MHJ, and draft Bo Nix at #9
