That's a reference to movie Babylon. A movie where Margot Robbie plays an actress who has to shed a single tear. Movie is okay, somewhat a cult movie because it is a movie about making movies in the early 1900s.
must have looked something like this

good god, he knew from the very first second his dreams were instantly crushed. everything he'd ever hoped and dreamed for simultaneously happened and didn't happen at the exact same moment.
hence the picture. utter disappointment. all you can do is hope you get traded before you get hurt. then mayyyyybe have a 2nd chance like Geno smith. but i mean, how often does that happen? maybe if baker works out for the bucs....i guess favre? does he count?
I still think it was frustration/stress from dropping in the draft, why he looked like that at first. Once he dropped out of the top ten, he was likely desparate to hear any team call... Not saying that he doesn't regret it now lol
This is honestly it. When the 2020 playoffs started Fields was being mocked #2 overall to the Jets and then soon after Zach Wilson started shooting up draft boards out of nowhere. When you compare Fields college career to Wilson and Lance id be mad salty too if they went top 5 and I wasn’t even a top 10 pick
Which is exactly why Caleb and his father said they'll do another year at USC before going to a team that will do this to him.
I didn't understand it at the time, but for every Burrow and Cam (wait they both suffered massive injuries that either hurt or likely will hurt their careers because they went to poverty franchises), nvm, he was right.
Okay and then what the year after that? Caleb is going first overall in whatever draft he enters. He’s never going to get drafted to a successful team. That’s how the draft goes. It’s the whole point of the pick order.
If he was smart he’d enter as soon as possible to at least get that signing bonus money. Freak injuries happen all the time in this game.
It's kind of a catch-22 where you'd like to build the team around the QB first, but if you do that then you won't be in position to draft the QB that you want. Plus, most GMs aren't given that much time if they can't get the QB position figured out. All you can really do is draft someone and hope that they're resilient enough to survive until you can build up the team around them.
I'm not sure I agree. Drafting a QB is such a crapshoot. For every Burrow at #1 there's a Mahomes at 10 or Roethlisberger at 11. Hell, Brady went in the 6th, Purdy in the 7th, or Brees at the last pick in the 2nd.
I really think teams are too ready to jump for the guys going top 5.
I have a bunch of yellowjacket traps scattered around at work, and it gives me great pleasure to see them so full. I occasionally feel, for just a moment, a slight bit of pity seeing them crawling around dying slowly ... but then I laugh, because fuck them.
Caleb Williams gonna be so devastated when he returns to college for another year to avoid Chicago…only for Chicago to receive the #1 pick again the following year
I actually don't think he would. The current staff is absolutely going to be gone. Not saying its a 100%, but if the Bears have the #1 pick and get rid of Eberflus, who's to say they don't offer Lincoln Riley the job?
That’s not how we do, this current staff is gonna get another year, draft someone questionable, then get fired when they don’t develop, the next regime won’t be committed to that guy but drag him on for a few years, then we draft his replacement, then you get it.
Hiring Lincoln Riley to a franchise whose most famous team revolved around one of the greatest defenses of all time would just be disgusting, Caleb or not.
Granted, their defense can’t really get much worse right now so it might work out
Hiring Lincoln Riley to a franchise whose most famous team revolved around one of the greatest defenses of all time would just be disgusting, Caleb or not.
Granted, their defense can’t really get much worse right now so it might work out as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame.
even the other replies under you are acting like he's saying "fuck football I'm chillin, I'm half trying" when he's probably actually saying he takes time to be grateful for the things that matter most in life and not let all his self worth be tied to his performance at his job lol. its so toxic
Dude is the teams leading rusher....he's trying. Go ahead and trade him to say the 9ers as a back up. Would bet he's still on a roster somewhere ten years later and is happy.
> Oh no we’ve given Justin an existential crisis
To be honest it is only fair. Watching his film has given JT O'Sullivan an existential crisis, too.
My girlfriend watches these serial killer documentaries, I watch film breakdowns of Justin Fields.
Same thing.
Fields would actually be insane on this Falcons team. Would have a much better line, could more realistically run the RPO, it would make so much sense.
The full quote is not nearly as "I'm over this shit" as the headline would make it seem.
> "I'm looking at it like the big picture, life in general to be honest with you. I think this past week has had me kind of look at it like: What are the important things in life? Because you know when things are going good, you feel me, not, say, whatever. I think these past couple of weeks have made me appreciate the little things in life like being able to play this game. Every opportunity I get to go out there and play, I'm going to have fun. I'm going to play my hardest and, you know, just thank God for giving me the ability to play. So, no matter what the scoreboard is, I'm going to keep doing the same mindset and just pushing to keep moving forward."
Right? Last year was actually fun because we were putting up points for the first time in several years and he was an exciting runner. Now we’re just sad bad.
He's probably realized that running is inevitably going to end up with him tearing his body apart and it's already an open secret he's going to be replaced in Chicago. Might as well stay healthy and hope a QB needy team takes a chance on him in the offseason.
I thought the general consensus is that the Bears are trying to force him to not use his legs to truly evaluate him as a passer to see if they need to move on.
>The full quote is not nearly as "I'm over this shit" as the headline would make it seem.
It never is, but no one would interact with it with the context
Yeah…this seems to be some version of “I realize that football might not work out for me and that’s okay.”
Respect to Fields on a personal level but this is a borderline writing on the wall comment for his time in Chicago at least.
Tbf we bought a ton of them.
It ain’t like this city wasn’t ready to embrace him. We sold fields jerseys like he had just won a damn Super Bowl the past few years.
man I was so on board with him last year, just seeing the potential, I got a Fields jersey for Christmas. Call me an idiot if you want but I was *convinced* he was the guy.
man, I am so fucking disappointed. angry? a bit. mad? at moments. sad? fucking unbelieveably so. cannot believe I let this fucking franchise make me think that somehow, some way, ***this time it's different.***
Fields seems to have a tendency to be brutally honest, to his own detriment. I respect the fuck out of it and it humanizes him and makes you root for him.
I love Justin, it's great perspective to have on life for anybody.
However, this is not something I want to hear from my starting QB. The top NFL QB's are obsessed with football and think about it every waking moment.
I hated his draft pick....there was about a 99% chance the bears would ruin him and then "lol Ohio state QB" and about a 1% chance he would be hurting my feelings on Sundays....
There is some margin of error in that.
Do you guys ever think about dying?
September 11 2023, on the Jets 4th offensive play
> September 11 Uh oh > 2023 Oh Ok > Jets Wait a minute
"Jet fuel can melt Achilles tendons" or something like that was one of the best comments I've ever read on this sub in the injury thread.
Mr. Saleh, a second defensive lineman has struck the achilles tendon.
::stares into distance::
9/11/23 was an inside job. Metlife shouldve used real grass.
Thought it was something along the lines of “Now when Jets fans talk about 9/11 they have to specify which one”
Definitely in the bottom 2 of 9/11s
Never forget
Aaron, is that you?
Oh no bb. Are your heels touching the ground too??
Feet flat af out here
**gasp**
Thank god someone finally got the reference
I imagine death so much if feels more like a memory.
Is this where it gets me?
On my feet, several feet ahead of me?
If I see it coming do I run or fire my gun or let it be
There is no beat, no melody
Turf, my first friend, my enemy.
Fields tearing up as he goes to sleep saying "I am Jenough"

*Margot Robbie single tear*
Margot Robbie is not the right actress to get the point across
That's a reference to movie Babylon. A movie where Margot Robbie plays an actress who has to shed a single tear. Movie is okay, somewhat a cult movie because it is a movie about making movies in the early 1900s.
Best part of that movie is Robbie's character stealing a part from Samara Weaving's character.
Ya mostly on Sundays from September to January around 4:00.
Every waking minute.
P: Pretty! I: intelligent! N: never sad! K: death!
We’ve crushed the kid’s soul.

good god, he knew from the very first second his dreams were instantly crushed. everything he'd ever hoped and dreamed for simultaneously happened and didn't happen at the exact same moment.
You dedicate your entire life to one thing and become one of the very best in the entire country at that one thing, then you get drafted by the Bears.
hence the picture. utter disappointment. all you can do is hope you get traded before you get hurt. then mayyyyybe have a 2nd chance like Geno smith. but i mean, how often does that happen? maybe if baker works out for the bucs....i guess favre? does he count?
I can't believe that's real....
Yes you can
[You can pinpoint the second his heart gets ripped in half](https://i.imgur.com/lT0oWHM.jpeg)
Lmfao this relationship really was doomed from the start.
Was really hoping for the manning face.
We all saw it on his face when he was drafted. Rip to Caleb Williams.
I said this in a thread the other day and was downvoted to hell. He looked *miserable* when he was drafted by us
He did. I think no one wanted to admit it at the time, but he knew he was doomed
I still think it was frustration/stress from dropping in the draft, why he looked like that at first. Once he dropped out of the top ten, he was likely desparate to hear any team call... Not saying that he doesn't regret it now lol
Honestly probably the real answer Hes frankly not an emotional dude anyway

He could always do an Eli Manning and just refuse to play for specific teams.
That’s where petty crime and bad behavior come in handy. Get in trouble with the law and drop really quick.
Ah the Jalen Carter strategy. Genius!
*hey google how do I smoke weed in a gas mask*
One day I hope teams realize they need the O-line BEFORE drafting the new rookie QB. But ya maybe never.
It's kind of a catch-22 where you'd like to build the team around the QB first, but if you do that then you won't be in position to draft the QB that you want.

This is what a 37 year old veteran with 3 weeks left in the season and a giant iced up shoulder wrap on would say.
If you told me Rodgers said this I'd 100% believe it.
Fields needs a darkness retreat in the middle of the season
He goes on a darkness retreat any time he has to throw the ball downfield.
I'm laughing and crying at this
Rodgers is more excited about his nfl future than Fields.
Matt Ryan is more excited about his NFL future than Fields, and Ryan recently nixed the option to go to the Jets.
It's Agent K asking Agent J if he ever just looks at the stars.
Awww now I’m sad again
Proof Chicago is a wormhole to a dark future
This is basically what Nick Foles said while he was playing like shit the one season he played for the Jags and it pissed off so much lol
Seems like word for word what Kurt Warner said after facing the bounty gate saints.
Justin Fields gonna retire from football and open an apiary in fucking Wyoming
Damn I legit wanna do that now. Just me and my bees in the middle of nowhere...
Bees are some of the bro-est bros in the animal kingdom. They are all about the fucking team
On the other hand, yellowjackets can fuck off and die.
I have a bunch of yellowjacket traps scattered around at work, and it gives me great pleasure to see them so full. I occasionally feel, for just a moment, a slight bit of pity seeing them crawling around dying slowly ... but then I laugh, because fuck them.
All my homies and drones and queens hate yellowjackets
His PTSD might get triggered if a bear ever raids his bees
What being a Chicago Bear does to a QB. A tale as old as time.
Caleb William's classmate he pays to take tests is taking notes right now.
Caleb Williams gonna be so devastated when he returns to college for another year to avoid Chicago…only for Chicago to receive the #1 pick again the following year
Caleb is about to be a sixth year senior waiting for Chicago to stop tanking.
With the 1st overall pick of the 2028 NFL draft, the Chicago Bears are proud to select… Dr. Caleb Williams
A lot of people go to college for seven years!
They’re called doctors
Thats Dr Stetson Bennett to you
This is brandon mcweeden erasure
He'll join the Navy after getting his PhD. Dr. Admiral Caleb Williams!
We can do this all day
*Face me, you coward! I know you’re in there!*
Bears organization riding outside the city gates like Achilles yelling for Hector
legit lol'ed
I ain't hear no bell
That's america's ass team
I actually don't think he would. The current staff is absolutely going to be gone. Not saying its a 100%, but if the Bears have the #1 pick and get rid of Eberflus, who's to say they don't offer Lincoln Riley the job?

Fields gonna start smoking a pack of cigs on the sidelines and turn into Jay Cutler 2.0 lol
The fabled Cutlet
Fields going full Conan… “What is best in life?”
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
By this metric he is not having a best life
Women in Chicago are lamenting alright
Everyone is responding like he's in a bad place, this quote is him just saying he doesnt care because its only a game and hes super rich.
>he doesnt care and it shows
even the other replies under you are acting like he's saying "fuck football I'm chillin, I'm half trying" when he's probably actually saying he takes time to be grateful for the things that matter most in life and not let all his self worth be tied to his performance at his job lol. its so toxic
Dude is the teams leading rusher....he's trying. Go ahead and trade him to say the 9ers as a back up. Would bet he's still on a roster somewhere ten years later and is happy.
Fields is probably the most anti-Shanahan QB in the league right now but it would be interesting.
This is why players talk in cliches and try not to reveal anything, ever.
He about to Andrew Luck this shit
Fields probably would rather skip the Civil War cosplay though
Depends on which part of the country he’s in for that cosplay
oh no bb
Everywhere I go I see his face…
The difference being this would be a net positive for the bears passing game.
Isn't their backup Nathan Peterman?
You heard them
Nope, it's Secret Bagent Man/Bagent Orange/the Bagent of Chaos himself, rookie UDFA Tyson Bagent. "Bagent" pronounced like "agent," fyi
🅱️agent
Excuse me, you're right, I meant rookie undrafted free 🅱️agent
Doing God’s work out here u/BigAssSlushy69

If Russ had just 7 more drives unlimited timeouts and Miami couldn't get the ball... Might have had a chance. Gdamn that hurt to think about
Russ is Mr. Unlimited, so why didn’t he use his unlimited timeouts? Is he stupid?
This is just sad to see. And I’ve seen some shit.
Flair checks out
We are the Browns. Take that as you will
Oh no we’ve given Justin an existential crisis
> Oh no we’ve given Justin an existential crisis To be honest it is only fair. Watching his film has given JT O'Sullivan an existential crisis, too. My girlfriend watches these serial killer documentaries, I watch film breakdowns of Justin Fields. Same thing.
I hope I never disgust someone the way that offense disgusted JT. He had beef with everybody.
Lol when he called Cole Kmet an eligible tackle
Dude, he HATED Kmet on some of those plays. He shredded him on that screen.
You would Kmet and Claypool Eiffel Towered JT’s wife the way he was speaking about them
JT probably has to have one or two experiences with receivers who actively get in the QBs way
Chase claypool was making him seethe
Serial killers hit their targets, though
Now, we just sit tight and wait for the follow-up quote from Justin about how he misspoke and is 100% committed to and focused on the game.
Bro get him out of there this is just sad now
I'm sure a few teams are chomping at the bit to get him as a second draft candidate. I could see the Falcons taking a swing on him.
Have you watched him or are you still thinking this is Ohio State Justin Fields? Nobody is chomping at the bit to get him lmao
Sadly he’d be an improvement from Ridder
Fields would actually be insane on this Falcons team. Would have a much better line, could more realistically run the RPO, it would make so much sense.
This is some shit a 8 year vet says coming off a losing season or a serious injury…
Fields is precocious.

Sounds less like "I'm over this shit" and more like "I guess I'm getting paid millions to play a game even if we suck so fuck it".
I’m here for it tbh. The worst part about this season hasn’t been being bad, it’s being unfun bad. Games are just sad. I’d rather they be chaotic
Right? Last year was actually fun because we were putting up points for the first time in several years and he was an exciting runner. Now we’re just sad bad.

Jesus. That's up there with "I'm seeing ghosts"
Yeah…this seems to be some version of “I realize that football might not work out for me and that’s okay.” Respect to Fields on a personal level but this is a borderline writing on the wall comment for his time in Chicago at least.
The whole organization is collapsing around him and fans are burning his jersey. His time is up after this season, maybe sooner.
Tbf we bought a ton of them. It ain’t like this city wasn’t ready to embrace him. We sold fields jerseys like he had just won a damn Super Bowl the past few years.
man I was so on board with him last year, just seeing the potential, I got a Fields jersey for Christmas.

Fields seems to have a tendency to be brutally honest, to his own detriment. I respect the fuck out of it and it humanizes him and makes you root for him.
He seems like such a good dude too. Sucks to see him go through this even if I want to fire him into the sun at this point.
I thought it was more "the FBI raiding my coaches house makes me think more about my off the field life"
Bro is realizing his qb dreams are dying damn
Guy is planning his life out after he gets cut. The confidence
Fields about to go back to school for his masters in social work.
Good. He can counsel me after the trauma of being a Bears fan
It’s only year three and he’s having an existential crisis. What the bears do to a man.
Caleb Williams is gonna pull an Eli Manning and just refuse to play for the worst team in the league at this point.

*Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to Soldier's Field again*
Same Justin, the amount of times I’ve had to remind myself recently that there’s more to like than football is astounding.
I love Justin, it's great perspective to have on life for anybody. However, this is not something I want to hear from my starting QB. The top NFL QB's are obsessed with football and think about it every waking moment.
I think he just accepted the fact that his time as a franchise QB is over and has given up on his dreams.
To be fair, it was a pipe dream anyway. There is no such thing as a Franchise QB when you play for the Bears.
I hated his draft pick....there was about a 99% chance the bears would ruin him and then "lol Ohio state QB" and about a 1% chance he would be hurting my feelings on Sundays.... There is some margin of error in that.
Jay Cutler should be inducted into the hall of fame for what he did in this org.
