Yep, they own the property now. Their lease at the current dump runs through 2033 but they can buy that out for $84 million in 2026. That's chump change for what they can haul in from a new stadium.

2026.
The year Fields crosses the 1000 yards career passing threshold?
1000 yards? Won't that take another 999 games?
I was trying to give OBF a little hope.
OBF, there is no such thing. I thought we clarified that.

This is perfect. The Bears can now suck at 3 home fields. Soldier Field, U of Illinois Stadium whlie Soldier Field was being turned into a space ship and whatever they call the new bear Stadium. A good name would be TBSS Stadium.

I think they should call their new field "Bare Minimum" Stadium. It will be the cost saving event of the century.
Mr. Rodgers neighborhood.
Who are the people in your neighborhood
Favre Field at Rodgers Stadium. I mean, as owners of the Bears they should get naming rights.

In most cases I would agree but I think tradition went out the window after the last renovation.
The five worst quarterbacks in QBR
28. Rothlisberger Pitt
29. Lawrence Jax
30. Wilson Jets
31. Mills Houston
32. Justin Fields Chicago
Hard to believe but the last 4 are on 4 of the 5 worst teams(Lions) have bad or inexperienced NFL coaches.

I was, Dorkchop. I even complimented Adams' toughness.

He'll have to buy a ticket just like everyone else.

What? The rest of the team staying home? That should make the Bears one dimensional. Assuming he attempts 20 passes - to no one anyone will be able to mention - he should un-accumulate a minus 100 yards in sacks alone. That will make the 1.1 net yards passing look like a NFL HOF performance.
Fields will be outstanding in his field - as a farmer - soon enough.

Coming?!?! He's not even breathing hard....
Is he going to read a defense this year? Or just "Daunte Culpepper" his way thru his career??
Fields looked pretty good last weekend. Still wet behind the ears but he's got some skills. His best friend right now is Montgomery. He's been running really hard behind a crappy OL.

Montgomery's out at least a month with a knee sprain. He was on my fantasy team.

I thought he looked OK too. Much better than the week before but there was nowhere to go but up from that game. I'm not sure at this point if it's better to just play him even when Dalton is healthy or put him on the bench and don't give Nagy a chance to ruin him before they get a new HC.

Luckily for Packers' fans, Fields doesn't have anyone like Randy Moss to throw to.
Culpepper with Moss:
1539 of 2391, 18598 yards, 129 TDs, 74 Ints. 93.2 Passer Rating. Almost half the TDs were to Moss (around 60-64)
Culpepper without Moss
477 of 808, 5555 yards, 20 TDs, 32 Ints. 71.6 Passer Rating
The bears played the lions last week.

Well, there's a shock. After weeks of "Andy is the starter when he's healthy" he's no longer the starter. Nagy is such a clown. Can we get this guy a lifetime contract?
Great news. This kid would benefit from watching a year, especially with the talent on that team. The fact they are going to throw him to the wolfs lowers his long term chances of winning in CHI.
Being a QB for the Bears lowers his long term chances of winning in CHI.
On one hand, Fields starting this week is another opportunity for him to get real game experience before facing the Packers. Of course, a poor performance could affect his confidence.
That said, starting against the Raiders is just more game film for the Packers to view to find tendencies, weaknesses, etc. I think what would worry me most is that Fields is a fast, mobile QB, and GB traditionally struggles against mobile QBs because of their history of shitty LB play.
Well they've got a lot if those on their schedule this year so sink or swim.
Yep - Fields maybe twice, L Jackson, Baker, Rusty, Kyler.
They’ll need to try and buck the trend against these guys..

Trade Love for Fields and he may end up with a better career winning % at Soldier Field or whatever they name the new dump.
Objective Bears Fan o.k today?
I think technically by what Rodgers said, we own him now.
