As someone who wants to see Fields succeed and still believes in him I am happy that our upcoming schedule is so tough, it will be the ultimate test for Fields the true make-it-or-break-it time for him as our franchise QB. If he can succeed against the lions, browns, vikings he is the guy and if he sucks he isn’t.

Minnesota and Detroit have very average pass defenses.
Yes, but the offense still has to outscore their offenses to have a chance to win.
I don’t care how much the defense has supposedly improved; they’re not holding Detroit or Minnesota to 13 points in their fast-track domes.
The winner of these games is very likely to score 30+.
I just hope he gets a chance to show one way or the other. When we played the Chiefs, the entire offensive unit was malfunctioning so badly that it was practically impossible to evaluate him.
We all know Fields is gonna fold faster than Superman on laundry day.
he’s sucked the entire time he’s been here. why do these next few games matter?
You really think if he is great the rest of the season (I know very unlikely) that shouldn’t matter ?
No dude!! He had 2 really good games before sucking like usual again!!! He could finally be getting it together!!!
And what would you say if he repeats those performances in 5/7 of the remaining games?
Do we get to play against the 32nd and 31st-ranked defenses in the NFL in our last 7 games?
(Yes, Denver’s defense was so bad in the first 5 games that even with how relatively well they’ve played in the last 4, they’re still the worst in the league.)
I would love to see that but the other 3 seasons worth of games give me extreme doubt
Oh I agree, was just curious about response to the hypothetical
Completely agree.
I think Getsy is awful and the problem. I have defended Bagent and Fields in that I can’t accurately assess any QB under Getsy
Having said that, it’s make or break time for Justin. If these are tougher teams so be it. Then prove yourself against them. Again I’m the world’s foremost Getsy critic, but Justin getting hurt was respectfully somewhat in Justin also not protecting himself. That meant he missed an extremely easy part of the schedule. So it is what it is at this point.
In a perfect world, Justin balls out, the Panthers get that #1 pick which goes to us, and the Bears both get MHJ and a draft haul.
But if Justin can’t prove it in what’s left in the season and you have the #1 or 2 pick, it’s time to go QB. Even if it means Justin works somewhere else. It’s time. He shows it over the rest of the season or the Bears have to move on. And I think Justin can work.
Shouldn’t all fans WANT him to succeed? Now believing he will or not is a different story
Regardless of where you fall, the answer is yes because even if you want the team to move on, Fields playing well only increases his trade value.
Totally agree. The only reason to want to see Fields fail the ROS, is to “be right” or to justify the move on approach. Chances are, he will continue to play well in streaks and we will never know what could have been.
Seems like a decent chunk of people would rather hate to say they were right, I just want to root for my team
Some of those people hating on him actually wanted him to succeed but flipped the switch just to go with some rant flow on this sub.They aren’t true fans, just emotional dolls.
thanks, twitter
I’m indifferent at this point. He is right on the far end of possibly becoming a boom. Mpst signs point to him being a bust, just like every other qb we’ve ever had. Why care? If he does great, the great! If he’s trash, then whatever, he will just be another name in the long list of bad Bears qb’s. At this point I don’t expect anything other than garbage from this franchise with the occasional playoff appearance that was entirely dependent on the defense they always seem to be able to put together every 5-7 years or so.
I’m all for just having an answer one way or the other. We are set up to take either path without mortgaging the future for a QB. Let’s all find out together, shall we? 🐻👇
This all depends on where the Bears pick comes in and not the one we receive from Carolina.
the ultimate test?
