Renowned Musician's Brutally Honest Advice for Justin Fields and his playing style
Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins recently hopped on the Bears Banter podcast to talk about life and sports.
During the conversation, Billy delved into his passion for the Chicago Cubs and their triumphant 2016 championship, as well as his own musical career. He also touched on the topic of the Chicago Bears, given his well-known status as a fervent Chicago sports fan. Billy emphasized the importance of increased protection for Justin Fields, while also acknowledging the benefits of Fields reducing his running in the long term.
«To Mr. Fields,» Corgan stated, «And as we've seen with, was it RG3? Guys like that, when you have that guy that has that level of skillset, yes, it's impressive, and yes, you marvel at that level of ability, but historically, guys like that get hurt. And as you seen in the NFL, if you lose a quarterback for 1, 2, 4 games out of a season, that might be the difference of you making the playoffs or that might be the difference of a free agent signing with your team.»
He goes on saying
So to create a winning franchise and build around a quarterback which anybody in their right mind is going to be thinking in the back of their head, is this guy going to get hurt? We could be having a truly winning season, people could be projecting us to go deep in the playoffs, and you get to game 11 and he does a simple run, goes around the end and somebody creams him. That's nothing against Mr. Fields, I was just talking about him and his tremendous skillset, but guys historically who run a lot get hurt. And he isn't quite as big as a Josh Allen, who looks like he can take that level of punishment (Allen has 2 inches and about 15 lbs on Fields).»
He also hopes that he is wrong and that Justin Fields can succeed with this style of play.
«I hope I'm wrong, I hope his skillset endures and the Bears are able to build around it. There was some talk that maybe he was going to go, maybe take someone in the draft but they've made their decision and they are going to stick with him. So there's definitely upside, but there's downside that goes with it and that's difficult if you're a Bears fan.»
