Agree or disagree? I don’t think he will come back this year from his injury. If his agent had half a brain he would make him sit. I still think teams would give up a mid to late first or a player of value for him. I think we should Forsure go maye over Caleb who is essentially the same player with a bigger mouth and ego… Bagent is not an nfl caliber player but it is bringing in a lot of publicity. I think this whole bagent story is to create a narrative that the bears do not ruin QB’s

      If you look at their post history, it’s actually something much stronger than that.

    Disagree. Right now, an UDFA has a better record than him this year. He needs to change that narrative. Fields has no choice but to prove his can play, that he can win, and that he can overcome adversity. He is not good enough to wait-and-see…he has to prove it.

    I disagree about Bagent as well. He is playing like a rookie, some good and some bad, but the Bears can continue to develop him as a great backup and maybe a starter a couple years down the road. They can have a QB that is a strength instead of a weakness with talent they developed…how great would that be?

    I’m not sold that the Bears will draft a QB with their top pick. It is a stacked class and there are some great options in later in the first round of the draft too. They could trade out and stack the team with talent or they could take a MHJ with the high pick and a McCarthy or another QB with the lower pick. Trading Fields for a high pick might net a WR, QB, and OL or DL talent from this years #1 round alone.

    Lots of great options

        That is a dumb thing to say, it’s what losers say. Of course they are A state, just not THE stat.

        No matter, if Bagent, and UDFA, can go .500 and perform with these WR, OL and offense, then so should Field, in fact he should do better.

        I like Fields and want him to step up. I would hate having to using a draft pick on another QB after spending three years wanting him to succeed. That said, it’s on him to step up, lead the offense, protect the ball, and become a leader who can win.

    Why would he sit. He’s still under contract for next year regardless if the pick up his 5th year option

    He’s coming back extremely soon. Players that aren’t in a position of power don’t sit out. He’s absolutely not worth a mid to late first. And I’ve never been on the Bagent bandwagon but he fully belongs as a backup in the nfl at this point. Do you need to be a superstar to be nfl caliber? You’re wrong on straight up every point.

    I hate these posts made by our bipolar fanbase.

    Field’s agent would demand he plays because he’s playing for a contract. If the Bears decline his option he needs a new team and you’d rather get a starting QB role and salary opposed to a backup 1-2 year deal.

    Bagent is a rookie QB, what do you expect? Honestly, he looked better then most other rookie QB’s from the past few drafts. Fields is obviously going to start next Sunday unless he suffers a massive drawback. He’s been throwing and fully participating in practice.

    You’re 100% wrong. Which will be proven very soon

    Fields sitting out would be stupid for his career. The best thing he can do for himself is to come back and ball out

    His agent needs his player to ball out the rest of this year so he lands a massive contract and they both get paid. Sitting out while healthy is the shit that teams don’t reward
