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.

    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.
