Just curious with the Fields debate. Has there ever been a QB mid-way through their 3rd year or later with so much uncertainty develop into a reliable starting QB? Alex Smith comes to mind but obviously wasn’t good enough to keep his position.

I’ve had this thought a bunch lately. Alex Smith came to mind as well as Steve Young, who was forgettable as a Buccaneer before gong to SanFran. Brett Farve was traded to GB before he took off. You can perhaps put Tua in there also. I’m sure theres a couple more but they’re rare and the common denominator for each is getting paired with a great offensive coach. I’m rooting for Justin big time but this organization has done absolutely nothing to help him become great. Drafted by a lame duck GM and Coach only to then be given a defensive HC by a new GM who clearly wasn’t hired to build around him. If Justin pulls this off and proves himself here, he will have done it alone. If/when Justin leaves, he could be one good coach away from reaching his potential.
I was all in on the year three leap and following the Allen and Hurts path when we got Moore. Justin’s personality and big play ability make it really easy to root for him. I completely agree he’s handed a raw deal to start his career which lead me to this post. Hoping for success for sure but also realistic that with rookie contract ending and high draft pick it will have to be a hell of a 2nd half of a season for him to keep the Bears from drafting another QB.
