re: Justin Fields won’t learn from whitey

1) There’s basically one quote from an anonymous former coach, after he’s no longer with the organization, everything else from his time that’s been reported spoke highly of his character.
2) I wouldn’t even be shocked if there was a bit of kernel of truth to it. The whole situation was completely mishandled from the start by the Bears. He wasn’t named the day 1 starter for the season (which maybe could’ve eased any threats if he thought there were any, and opened him up to learning). But he also wasn’t told “you’re our #3 the whole year, learn from these two guys”. It was a pseudo-competition from the start, with Fields the backup to Dalton and ahead of Foles, and then taking over as the starter a few weeks into the season after Dalton was injured. Just very awkward all around.
3) He was beloved in the locker room and by the organization in Chicago though, so even if #2 was true, it was a one-off in his rookie year in a weird situation.
4) And even if #2 is true, it likely has nothing to do with Russ’s, Dalton’s or Foles’s races, but simply Fields being humbled.
Overall, Fields didn’t prove enough, but the indications were that it was all on-field, not off- until coincidentally a few days ago. He could’ve done more to help himself, but he was also put in a terrible situation. Williams is entering about a 1 million times better situation in a number of ways, so we’ll see what happens with him.
ETA: Not a Buckeye fan anymore (despite the name) but a Bears fan.
