I listened to this live Monday. Bernstein was spot on, on this. So was Holmes. Getsy more or less saying #1 needs to buy into their way. That is not good coaching. Good coaching is catering to your players strengths. It is evident that Getsy refuses to play to fields strengths. It is mind blowing. Please do what the raiders did and give him the axe midseason.
Bernstein and Holmes generally don't care about calling people to the carpet. Cubs, Sox, Bears, Bulls, Hawks, Northwestern. They tend not to fluff things for fear of losing access.
We've seen this story before with the Bears and QBs. Grossman/Orton, Cutler/Hanie and now Fields/Baguette. Bears fans become disenfranchised with the QB1 and can't wait to get a taste of what the backup can do. Orton had the running game and defense to mask his weaknesses. Hanie sucked. Bagent or whatever his name is on paper was a great story. They beat the lowly Vikings. Then they got piss pounded against the Chargers. So now what?
Nagy consistently tried to make Trubisky something he wasn't and they ultimately failed. I think we're seeing the same thing with Justin Fields to where any chance of him being a franchise quarterback is being intentionally sabotaged. We can probably assume that Assistant GM Ian Yates Cunningham is going to get a GM opportunity soon, and I think he's a lot of the brains in the current operation, so his leaving likely becomes a loss.
Grim. As usual. Kind of White Sox grim, actually.
