Instantly I know I’ll get the crew who is already done with fields knocking me for this take.
But for the rest of us who still feel like maybe… Fields still could be the guy…
OL is playing well, defense playing well and instantly improved by Sweat. Moore is still the best player on the team, Kmet, Mooney, Foreman, Herbert coming back, great opportunity for Fields to show if he can be the guy we thought he could (and show consistency) before the franchise moves on.
Admittedly I’ve been very reluctant to give up on fields, I just see so much potential fucked up by (imo) coaching and play calling. But I will move on if he gets to prove me wrong through the rest of the season… or he can prove me right and we can ball out on other positional needs and make our run!
I just want success for Da Bears, Bear Down
This is stretch of games literally the ideal situation for both sides of this argument. Theoretically if Hebert and Davis play this upcoming week then we would have our #1 offensive starters all playing together for basically the first time this year, minus the fullback but close enough. This should be the best offense Fields has had (not saying it’s a good one but it’s better than what it’s been) and he either succeeds and shows he can be the guy when the team isn’t dogshit or he fails with his best guys and shows he can’t be the guy. He also plays both good and bad teams during this stretch so it adds to the sample size for those of you saying he pads his stats against bad teams and plays terribly against good ones.
