In a recent episode of the BFR Podcast by Sports Mockery, Dave and Ficky welcomed WGN's Jarrett Payton onto the show to discuss various topics regarding the Chicago Bears. In the conversation, Jarrett shared valuable insights he received from a reputable NFL scout with a rich history in evaluating exceptional NFL draft classes. Specifically, Jarrett shared the scout's evaluation of Justin Fields and discussed the potential upside if the Bears continue to support him as their quarterback.
"I could win a Super Bowl with him (Justin Fields).. he wasn't handled right."
The evaluation of Justin Fields was intriguing, but what caught my attention even more was the NFL Scout's comments about USC Quarterback Caleb Williams.
"Watching Caleb Williams film is like watching Patrick Mahomes from Texas Tech.. just not as reckless."
Ryan Poles faces a challenging decision
Ryan Poles is faced with a tough decision here, and it's not an easy one. The conversation highlighted a valid argument from Jarrett, emphasizing that Justin Fields might flourish on a different team. Jarrett wouldn't be surprised if that happens. As Jarrett pointed out, selecting a quarterback in the draft is like gambling in Las Vegas – you can either win big or lose big.
That's just the nature of dealing with one of the most demanding positions in professional sports. Alternatively, Caleb Williams could truly be a 1:1 talent. Comparisons between Williams and Patrick Mahomes have been made before, and they may continue all the way until April. He is just that good of a prospect.
Should the Chicago Bears build a super team around Justin Fields? Jarrett Payton joins the show!
