Even if there is a busted play here or there it doesn't even mean our bottom of the roster stinks. Football is a team game and it only only takes one or two guys out of 11 messing up to completely blow a play. When that happens in the preseason it doesn't mean that 5-10 guys on a play didn't do a good job. It's why preseason can be frustrating, because unless you see a player execute or not in a one on one situation with an opportunity you really aren't getting much of a picture on anything.
 
Yeah there probably won't be a lot of difficult decisions getting down to 53.
Plenty of decisions between the 40th and 60th players on this team. Don't let the 86th man blowing a play for the whole unit distract you from that.
 
Whatever happened to Jomal Wiltz? Thought he showed promise.
 
People gotta realize that it's entirely possible a QB like Fields can come out as a rookie and play well since he can make throws with limited reads and make plays with athletic ability, and it's also entirely possible that he doesn't ever elevate his play beyond that. People also gotta realize that he could come in early and win more games for a questionable regime in Chicago than Dalton or Foles, but the better thing for Chicago and Fields longterm may be to actually have this guy learn progressions and reading the defense before he takes the field and learns to rely on instincts to succeed. Do NFL teams ever do that these days, in the absence of a QB like Aaron Rodgers or Alex Smith? No. Do we have a lot of QB's who come in and peak early and don't ever advance their game beyond their first or second seasons? Yes.
Fields might not ever be good. However, he has a strong toolset (arm strength, size, running ability) that you can be patient with for the upside. Similar to Allen.

You need a strong toolset to develop, otherwise what are you wasting your time developing? What's the upside?
