Someone with a better memory of the early 2000’s help me with this. Through Michael Vick’s first 36 starts his numbers were freakishly similar to Fields. Similar passing yards, TDs and INTs, rushing yards and TD’s, similar fumbling problems. Fields has better completion percentage. Yet I remember Vick being viewed differently. He was so exciting and it feels like everyone considered him a super star in the making if he could just correct some flaws.

Am I just remembering this wrong? Is the reason he was viewed as a star because his team was playing well and winning? In 2004 he had pretty awful passing numbers but he rushed for 900 yards and the Falcons were 11-4 in his starts. What was the difference between wary Vick and current Fields?

I really think this would be a disaster for the locker room and for both qb’s psyches. Fields would get absolutely destroyed in the media and by fans the second he shows any struggles. And the new qb would hate being drafted so highly while the team also openly admits they don’t know if they want him to be the future.

In all seriousness there is no nickname for Bears fandom. At least nothing that actually is used. We’re just called Bears fans or any of the depressing titles listed in this thread.
