Justin Fields made some of his own mistakes on Thursday night. Yet he was still far and away the best player on the field for the Chicago Bears. He threw for 190 yards and ran for 87. Yet the team couldn’t covert despite three opportunities inside the 10-yard line. More than ever, this game hammered home how limited the young QB is by his surroundings. The offense line got him sacked five times, and the wide receivers once again couldn’t make crucial catches when the ball hit them in the hands.
The end of the game was a microcosm of his season. Chicago had the ball with 1:49 left. Fields makes an incredible 39-yard scramble to get them to the 5-yard line. He proceeds to make two excellent throws. One was interfered with but wasn’t called. The other should’ve been caught, but Darnell Mooney bobbled it. Nothing sums it up better. Fields deserves criticism at times. The truth is he is not the biggest problem with this offense right now.
These WRs stink

Justin Fields can’t make a five-star meal out of trash.
Take a look at the other 10 starters on that offense and seriously ask which of them would be playing on almost every other team right now—David Montgomery and maybe Darnell Mooney. The rest should be backups. That is the extent of the situation Fields is in. He’s trying to carry mostly scrubs to success every week. That is almost impossible for even good quarterbacks, let alone a guy in his second year learning a new system. The kid hasn’t been anywhere close to good. Still, he’s the best player on the offense.
He needs help. Lots of help. There is no way for the Bears to get it until next off-season. Until then, their goal is obvious. Do everything possible to keep Justin Fields from getting killed. He won’t survive into November at this rate. New England and Dallas are up next. His life is about to get even harder.
If I was fields I would request a trade. It’s a shame Best quarterback we’ve had since Eric Kramer we are literally running out of Chicago. Let the genius GM pick his own guy like he want to do. He’s not married to fields and for that reason he don’t care if he survive..
It’s time to consider trading Fields. He’s not really running the Shanahan Offense the way the coaching staff wanted.
Possible starters we have that can start elsewhere are Montgomery , Jenkins , Mooney , Kmet , and if a team uses a FB then add Blasingame ! Even Fields many teams will look at as a backup at this time !
@jason.. I’d say that literally everything Tyresse said is fact, and it all happened, and we all saw it. So I am not sure how factual data is ridiculous. Just because you don’t like what someone else has to say doesn’t take away the physical facts. But all the hardcore Fields fanboys think any negative word about him is ridiculous. Which in itself is whats ridicuIous. When it’s facts, ya gotta take the good with the bad. Pretending it’s not true doesn’t change that it’s true. I don’t know about Montgomery being the best player though, as he routinely gets… Read more »
I’m sorry Tyrese, but you’re take on Fields is ridiculous. I saw play after play where he is looking at a d lineman the second he gets the ball. If he’s not getting sacked he’s getting hit hard play after play. Fields was the only guy on that offense who gave the Bears a chance to win and he almost pulled it off. Poles should be embarrassed by the talent they have on o line, and it’s sad because this kid is gonna get hurt
