I don’t know if he’s the better QB right now. I actually think Bagent does a better job getting the offense into a rhythm. But Fields clearly has a much MUCH higher ceiling than Bagent does. Fields biggest issue since he came into the league was hitting the layup throws. He hasn’t made much progress in that area so far. I also think that the Bears offense is still lacking another legitimate playmaker. You have to have at least two on your team or you’re not going anywhere. We have one.

There might be a slightly better “rhythm” but it’s a worse offense overall.
