It kind of annoys me that people are saying Bagent sucks because he played bad in his second game, but then expecting Fields to come in and turn things around in his 32nd game. No idea which one’s better, but these people are clearly contradicting themselves.
My amateur couch eyes told me the kid played well for most of the game. He commanded the offense, avoided pressure, and made decisive throws the entire first half, however his teammates and the refs did him zero favors with penalties, drops, and missed calls. He had 3 TDs taken off of the board (yes I know 2 were on same drive but still). In the second half he had to start forcing things, but that would be any QB. I’m impressed with his 2nd start, but agree he’s a backup. I hope he sticks around for a long time in that role, and if he does he’d become a Chicago icon solely because of his blue collar credentials

I wish the mods would ban every Fields vs Bagent discussion. This is so dumb.
There is no reason for talking about this more.
Fields has had 32 games to show that he’s the QB. He’s not. He’ll probably get hurt again so I’m sure we’ll see Bagent more.
