Still doesn't even seem real tbh. I can't believe we got this dude, I can't believe he wanted to be with us so badly, and I can't believe he turned out to be as good of a dude as he is a football player - and he may be the best football player ever.
We have truly been blessed. In a blink of an eye it will all be over though, so milk every last second of it. [Reply]

Few coaches are going to take a guy like Fields and 'play the slice' so to speak.
Especially when it's a young passer you may be able to mold into something more.
I don't fault him for trying to do what he did with Fields. It was a better long-term solution than saying "hey, just go out there and run around a lot..."
In time you may have seen the sort of hybrid player the Eagles are getting out of Hurts. But that wasn't going to be a seamless process.
The real mistake he made (or Pace) was having Andy Dalton and Nick Foles as backups. Granted, those backups went 4-3 to the 2-8 he got from Fields, but if he's going to try to develop Fields in a multi-faceted offense, he needs a veteran passer that can actually run that kind of offense so he can do a full install of it.
The Bears trapped themselves in between. Once they drafted Fields, they needed to get someone like Tyrod Taylor in there behind him who could move the pocket around, make smart underneath throws and use his legs to extend drives.
I'm going to have to call a little BS on this one. No way Nagy went behind Reid's back and did this. My guess is Andy was in on it as well.
I'm sure they were testing Pat to see how badly he wanted to be here, and wanted to check how quickly he could absorb Reid's complicated scheme and if he would put in the effort to do so in such a short period of time.

Either way, just awesome.
Agreed, but if they were doing this on the sly who were they hiding it from? Dorsey? [Reply]
Matt Nagy being asked if he gave Mahomes Chiefs plays before his visit:
"I mean...maybe a little bit"
Adding⬇️ "I had a little part of that to help out...I just know a lot of people (Reid and Veach) in the building liked Patrick...everybody was all in on him"#ChiefsKingdom
