Bump.....Cmon bears, you haven't given us anything since 85!

How confident are we in QB1 bears fans?
No chance of happening, but I dream of beating A.Rogers in the SB. Just cant let that prick have the last laugh. It's eating me up inside.

Take the North and never give it back!

Be careful being positive about the Bears around here. Boards riddled with spackers fans double quick to lay the boots in.

Having said that speedy, I reckon we need to see how much arm power Fields has with at least adequate protection before we can anoint him.
I do have hope though.
Think we are still 2/3 years away and then we’ll also be able to assess if Ryan Poles has made the necessary advancement to be taken seriously

It would be great to have the Bears back, they were such a fixture of real NFL bash contests in my childhood in the 70s and early 80s. Just no real ability to manage things off field since then...

I don't think its all on the protection (not that i'm an expert). A lot of other qb's/teams seem to get the ball out quicker and make the protection a non-factor. Fields definitely has to improve in certain area's along with the protection and wide-outs.

More confident than I ever was with Trubiski that's for sure. He'll never be a Brady or Burrow but he's already an elite runner and can be a Josh Allen level passer if he has the support, and I like how the O-line and receivers are lookin this year.

MVP hype on the Bears? Before Justin Fields it had been a while

Fields was 15 when the Bears last had a player enter a season among the Top 10 MVP candidates, and now he gets a chance to live up to the hype.

Situation is now made for a QB controversy looming. Fields stinks mid-gane, pulled for Bagent, who, if he plays well, suddenly has legs to be starter mpving forward. Bagent is a very high character guy and leader, as well as a lot of passing ability (college career).....

After serving as the Bears' primary backup for the first two games of the season, Nathan Peterman is now set to become a free agent. Undrafted free agent Tyson Bagent is now the only quarterback on Chicago's 53-man roster besides Justin Fields.

RIP Dick Butkus.
A local who god like status in Chicago and truly loved da bears.
I’m glad the team finally showed some heart on this day and time in his honor

Never a decent fit. Waste of a pick but right decision to move him on.

Bears' Tyson Bagent to complete journey from D-II QB to NFL starter​

Tyson Bagent will get his first NFL start on Sunday, and the Bears are confident the undrafted rookie will meet the moment.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Three plays after being thrust into action against the Minnesota Vikings in place of an injured Justin Fields on Sunday, Tyson Bagent's regular-season debut teetered on the verge of disaster.

The Chicago Bears' undrafted free agent quarterback tried to avoid an all-out blitz by side-stepping a free rusher, but upon cutting back to his right, Vikings safety Josh Metellus barreled down on Bagent and forced him to cough up the ball, which Minnesota returned 46 yards for a third-quarter touchdown.

Rookie wide receiver Tyler Scott stood next to Bagent on the Bears sideline as the QB aimed to diagnose what had happened. That moment reinforced to Scott the type of player he had witnessed Bagent develop into since the two made their way to Chicago in the spring.
"He's always prepared," Scott said. "That's one thing I noticed because I sit next to him sometimes on the plane. He's always watching film, always looking over the book because [you're] one play away."

One drive did not define Bagent's welcome to the NFL. The 23-year-old quarterback marched the Bears 77 yards down field for a touchdown in the fourth quarter and had a chance to lead a game-winning drive at the end, but he underthrew DJ Moore and was intercepted as the Bears lost 19-13.

This week, Bagent will go from running the scout team offense to assuming the role of starting quarterback in place of Fields, who is doubtful to play against the Raiders in Week 7 with a dislocated right thumb. In looking to build on his performance against the Vikings (10-of-14, 83 yards, INT), Bagent will be the fourth Division II quarterback in the past 20 years to start a game, according to Elias.

The Bears' belief in Bagent was solidified when they elevated him to QB2 on the depth chart over veteran Nathan Peterman earlier this season. His results from less than one-half of an NFL football game don't say much, but the poise Bagent has shown over the past six months has the Bears excited about his potential.

"I think we've seen it every day since his rookie minicamp, just his poise," assistant general manager Ian Cunningham said on Aug. 30. "He's got this moxie, he has this confidence about him. I remember walking out of the tunnel with him against Tennessee [in the preseason] and it was like, he's been here before. Right? And he's showed it. He's displayed it ever since he's been here and then in game exposure, his accuracy, decision-making, his poise, we saw what he was able to do with his legs. I think the kid's got a bright future."

From D-II to NFL starting quarterback​

Shepherd University product Tyson Bagent will join an exclusive club when he starts for the Bears. Here are the other three QBs who made the jump from D-II to NFL starter in the last 20 years.

PLAYER	COLLEGE	LAST START
Jon Kitna	C. Washington	2010
Todd Bouman	St. Cloud St.	2010
Keith Null	West Texas A&M	2009

There weren't a ton of colleges clamoring to sign the 6-foot-3 quarterback, who led Martinsburg (West Virginia.) High School to back-to-back state championships in 2016 and 2017. Bagent, the son of a 17-time world champion arm wrestler, waited for an offer from West Virginia University that never came. His only Division I opportunities came from Albany and Robert Morris, but their lack of on-field success left a lot to be desired.

"It was weak," Bagent told ESPN ahead of the draft. "I felt like I had put in so much work and put up such good numbers and had been a proven winner."

Bagent didn't let his lack of recruitment deter him from continuing to win. His parents, Travis and Casey, were graduates of Shepherd University and had taken Tyson to watch Rams football games throughout his adolescence. By the time he left Shepherd in 2022, Tyson Bagent held the NCAA record for all-time touchdown passes (159) and became the Division II record-holder for all-time passing yards (17,034) and total touchdowns (171).

That earned him an invite to the Senior Bowl -- a rarity for a Division II quarterback -- where he was coached by Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.

Bagent went undrafted and signed with the Bears in May. Over the course of the offseason, he rose from inexperienced rookie to No. 2 quarterback, beating out Peterman, a seven-year veteran, and current Cleveland Browns QB PJ Walker.
As he continued to climb the depth chart, Bagent got more opportunities to showcase what he could do.

Good luck to him.
I think he’s on a hiding to nothing being thrown in with a rubbish O line in front of him… same reason I’m not as critical of Fields as most, he’s had very little suppport to progress

 

[Big Unit 30]

Tyson Bagent has just become king of Illinois
The fap fest over this game will be completely over the top I bet …

This might be pertinent now GG.exe , there will be a groundswell of support for Bagent now.
It’s one win , I’m not chips in just yet myself.

Thats alot of money

No doubt, they painted themselves into a corner after giving up a second rounder for him though.
We have the cap space but with so many issues to address and players to pay going forward I’m yet again pessimistic about the future after the teardown.

And yet …. We won and managed to firm our grip on the first pick

 

[Big Unit 30]

I hope it was a calculated tank, but we’re not that smart. It was just a cluster**** as per usual

 

[Big Unit 30]

Let’s hope there’s no dead cat bounce over at Carolina with the coaching change. We need that No1 pick to stay in our hands.
