Finally, people complain about Justin fumbling…CW is going to have a bunch of fumbles the way he holds the ball out there like a loaf of bread.

I met Walter Payton in 1985 after they won the Super Bowl, outside United audio in Highland Park, he had his black Lamborghini out front, and he was just walking out with his brother Eddie, and I was walking right in and I was so shellshocked, I was so Paralyzed I couldn’t even say hello or speak… He was my idol, he was the reason I listened to football in the first place, because when I started watching him it was three times hand it off to Walter.. and punt, hopefully not this time but that was it until the 80s and the Bears started getting better and better but it took a long time to build that 85 Bears team, more like 10 years. And I see Meryl Hodges so excited to meet a player that made him feel like a little kid, but when I met him he was huge, he’s smaller than Hodge but it didnt seem like it after seeing him with guns out.. I don’t believe Merrill looked bigger when Walter was at his peak… He was physically taller and heavier but he wasn’t built like Walter.👍🏼, but most people didn’t see him without his long sleeves, they only saw him in his uniform, long sleeves and that’s it… They never saw him in a tank top ripped to shreds like Superman, I mean he might’ve been about 210 when I saw him because he was huge in my eyes… Not so tall but physically built like a Superman, it was ridiculous. I never felt that way until I met Sammy Sosa maybe 10 years later he was about the same size… A little taller and a little bigger. But Walter was ripped and so much bigger than expected because like I said you never see him in anything but long sleeve shirts and football jerseys. By the way, great to have him here, keep talking to us about his opinion on Caleb Williams because it’s the right opinion

Merell Hodge is absolutely correct 💯. Justin Fields wants to be a Bears. Keep Justin Fields in Chicago. I have watched Justin Fields give the Bears his all. Even when the Bears were losing Justin Fields never quit on my Bears. Allegedly Caleb Williams doesn't want to be a Bear. In oder to get his foot into the NFL door Caleb Williams is going to say whatever he has to say in those interviews. There are a lot of alleged rumors of Caleb Williams saying he doesn't want to be a Bear. What if the Bears draft him and he gets to Chicago and starts crying and mucks the Bears over. Caleb Williams got to Oklahoma and hit the transfer portal after like 1 year or so. If Chicago trades Justin Fields and drafts Caleb Williams number 1 overall and Caleb Williams doesn't want to be a Bear. This would be devastating; the Bears will be screwed. The same media that is talking about how great Caleb Williams is is going to attack the Bear's front office. Warren, Poles, Cunningham and all of Chicago's coachs are going to get fired. Remember how the media said Fields needed wide receiver help so Poles tried to help by trading for Claypool and Claypool laid down on the Bears. The same media that praised Poles for getting Claypool turned on Poles and called for his firing.. Williams and his father allegedly have all of these foolish ideas that will cause volatility in the Bear's locker room. Justin Fields is loyal and wants to be a Bear. The Bears need to reward Justin Fields' hard work by signing him long-term.

Truth

Merril has nailed a lot of quarterback predictions and a great Walter Payne story, nice video.

Hoge is correct. Williams is not special. Special players don’t go 9 tds with 4 int’s the final 7 games. These were the only games he played even reasonably decent defenses. He is bad against pressure and his pocket awareness is poor. He takes far too long to make decisions and that’s a killer at the next level. The NFL has teams which are far closer in ability and everyone is fast. Unless Caleb buckles down and works hard, he won’t last. If he’s humble and serious, he can be good. As of now, I wouldn’t take him over a couple of other guys, but he’s fun to watch!

It’s easy to select between JF1 and Caleb. Who did the best on the fluid test that was introduced in 2017. That will determine the best QB on the field in reading defenses. Done!!!! Don’t over think it.

Hoge didn’t like Andrew Luck either lol.

Fields and collge QBs need developmental coaching to transtion to NFL or Fields in year 3 would be a lock. Merrill is working to influence #1 pick. Comparing College Caleb to NFL Patrick is comparing apples to oranges. Caleb with a 2023 improved college oline and defense, is winning 2nd Heisman. All of the egregious decisions of Riley hurt Trojan players and fans and his own career.

“ That indicates the Bears, who received the pick in a mammoth trade last offseason with the Panthers, are more likely than not to make the pick and land their new franchise QB “ looking like we keeping Fields

Merel always right about them qbs

I can’t wait to see what the Bears do! I just hate when they throw around the “Generational talent” phrase. Mahommes and Stroud weren’t called generational talents when they came out. All #1 picks that were QB’s are a 50-50 coin flip.

The thing is I agree with his evaluation of Caleb, but I don't like Fields either. So, unfortunately for Bears fans, I think either decision could end up being a bad one. It would all depend on the type of package you could get for #1, many teams might share his concerns about Caleb and not be willing to give them a haul for the pick.

For anyone sayin "even Mahomes wasn't Mahomes in college" well yeah he came into a system where he got to sit & learn from a vet QB on a good team w/ one of the greatest coaches of all time.

He good but I think he's closer to what they already have in Fields. What's going to happen they going to trade Fields and he's going to figure it out with a better organization. Then Caleb's camp and just his attitude is not good for what they trying to build. Chicago is a tough blue-collar city, and I just don't see that in Caleb. Draft Sam Hartman as a legit back-up and build your team up.

Merril knows QB well, this is concerning and I agree messy play won't do it in the NFL

You can’t say Caleb isn’t special and Justin is worth keeping without admitting you’re biased towards fields.

I don’t know why the Chicago media is still convinced we have to move on… I’m not convinced at all, you seem to think it’s so obvious, it isn’t so obvious, and there are a few guys like Merrill, Payton, and quite a few others, and many fans who love Justin Fields and have seen enough growth and ability, and we saw a special things for the past couple of years… You cannot sit here and say that we didn’t see some ridiculous, incredible passing and running plays.. that were kind of ridiculous… You can certainly put them into the Chicago Bears time machine and say oh my God, who is this kid? And it’s not just his ridiculous runs, he’s made some great plays with his arm, things that most quarterbacks can’t do except maybe for a handful in the NFL… And the guys that got better around him because they were in a great situation, they aren’t more talented than Justin, they had a better situation and how it turned out for at least four or five of these guys. Players can change, players can improve, it takes time and the right situation. The situation around is just getting better and we need to keep improving it, that’s the right way to do this

I’m curious who his QB 1 is this year if it’s not Caleb.

Daniels. Caleb Williams has 30 career fumbles

Please schedule Hoge for an interview for a year from now he said that one thing for sure is that Caleb is not special, He's a regular guy. Obviously he's not studied QB's/ What QB does he think is special? Trubisky!?

Josh schrock dude not even a bears 🐻 fan so why you so worry about who they pick

I agree. The USC kid is playing against weak competition..I don’t know what my team(Da Bears) will do but if we keep fields I will be cool with that..

Finally someone speaking FACTS... I hope that Fields gets traded and he SUCCEEDS....

Where is Hoge a GM at. How many star QB's has he picked!?

Patrick Mahomes wasn’t Patrick Mahomes coming out.

Does anyone think Mahomes would be this good if Chicago would have drafted him....HELL NO. He fell into the perfect spot.

Merril go into Steelers office and help Fields directly then

Thank you, Mr Hoge! So correct about the problems CW will face at next level whereas Justin has already experienced all THAAAAT. More bocking, more weapons and QB1 be fine. The fans that assume he sucks are dumb, dense, and dim...just like Josh Shrock. Congrats you 'fans.'

I'm starting to see why many former NFL players are not head coaches and instead have TV jobs. They don't get fired for being wrong on TV. I understand if the Bears are hesitant to select CW but keeping Fields is a foolish mistake. This dude has a 10-28 record.

“Everyone else sees”.. 90% of what I hear about Caleb is from people that haven’t watched his tape but are regurgitating info they heard elsewhere

34 was the best!

This is such a funny and dumb take. I love JF. But just look at the trade market value of JF: next to none… and it wasn’t that low just because everyone knew that the bears would take Caleb (which is also evidence that they should take Caleb: every other team knew and agreed that they would/should take Caleb). JF’s 4th quarter stats were atrocious in games that were within a score. Also, it’s true that the bears failed fields but to say so confidently that “they don’t know what they have” is just a silly point. They knew exactly what they had. And that’s why it was even a close call. JF can take a team to the playoffs but he wasn’t the right choice for the bears. In fact, knowing the bears history, I’m shocked they didn’t take that easy way out.
