I’m a little disappointed in your post because I thought you’d address a problem I’ve seen recently in the fandom.
Unfortunately, some fans simply aren’t fans of the Chicago Bears. They are fans of a particular player, and don’t really care much for the team. These are quite frankly undesirables as far as I consider them.
A true fan would want both Fields AND Bagent to succeed. There is room for 2 QBs on this team and to root against one of them to support “your guy” is ludicrous and extremely selfish. These fans need to find themselves another team because they aren’t rooting for the Chicago Bears.
That said, I appreciate Bagent. He reminds of Kyle Orton, a good, but not great quarterback. Orton was a guy who would throw you 1 or 2 TDs per game. He was a game manager, accurate, and good decision maker. Most of his throws were short, but he could throw intermediate and surprise occasionally with a deep ball. While Orton wouldn’t outright win you the game with his superstar talent, he wouldn’t lose the game for you. He was above average and that’s a lot more than Chicago Bears fans have had for a long time.
Fields COULD become a great QB. The potential is there, but he simply has to start cutting that ball loose and anticipating the open receiver. In year 3, I think most of us hoped that Fields would have gotten to that point, but he hasn’t. Unlike what others have said, the offensive line did not improve the last 2 games. Bagent simply didn’t hold onto the ball as long as Fields does. The line played the same.
