Beating up on two sub-par teams in a row can still mislead many.
Justin Fields can look like Houdini as many have said after a play where he escapes a sack. But what happens when he overthrows a receiver or holds onto the ball too long?
That’s exactly it. He shows flashes of brilliance and before we know it, he’s fumbling the ball or throwing a terrible pass. Certainly, a shitty offensive coordinator has a lot to do with it. But remember what I said months ago about players defying coaches? This is the problem.
When that interception was thrown against the Cardinals on a first down, common sense says the ball should have been given to a running back. Instead, Fields throws a poor pass for an interception in the end zone. If Fields was smarter, he would have defied the shitty offensive coordinator and told the players that they are going to give it to Herbert or whomever was lined up.
I don’t see why the Bears still can’t draft a quarterback and keep Fields for at least one more year. Maybe if the horrible excuse for an offensive coordinator is fired, maybe the new one will be competent. Then again, since it’s the Bears making the decisions, probably not. But this franchise owes it to their fans to have an insurance policy just in case Fields regresses. I love me some Tyson Bagent. However, if someone is better and available, they should absolutely go for it.
And if Fields ends up kicking ass? Great. Then the Bears can trade that quarterback for some picks.
