- Thread starter MD Buckeye
- Start date
I think the first 10 or 15 plays were scripted, and his teammates didn't really help him out. After halftime he got comfortable and was impressive. He'll do just fine.

I lead, you follow.
A few observations.
- Bears Oline is trash
- The internal clock appeared to "speed up" a bit after that tipped pass by Wilkins. JF was slow to go to his outlet check, looked more comfortable in some up-tempo at times.
- Chicago receivers aren't that great either
- Cole Kmet is legit though when Dalton actually gives him a chance
- Good extension on the fake when running that boot. It's an oft overlooked thing, but it really helps the sell and freeze on the linebackers and backside pursuit.
- Bears Oline is.... still trash. Interior isn't as bad as the tackles, but dear god is it not good overall. He's going to have to get used to setting up on the roll.
- Good patience when buying time and extending plays with his legs
- Needs to work on understanding simple spacing when they run those trips stack looks
- Nice back shoulder placement on a couple of those 50/50 balls
- Almost got his HB on an outlet reggie bush-ed by the DB
- Good patience in the pocket, but borders on holding onto the ball
Some good, some bad. Some smart looks given to him by the OC. Not quite the "dazzling" debut some make it look, but plenty to build off of.
He stayed healthy, made some throws and got his first taste. On the bright side, Chicago can trot out Dalton because that Chicago Oline is going to give Fields the Burrow treatment if they don't get better fast.
