re: Justin Fields, the Chicago Bears and a quarterback conundrum

would say, his rookie year was basically a wash. Nagy didn't cater an offense to his strengths or help him out at all. I'm not sure any QB could have gotten any better in that situation.

Year 2, they were actively tanking with hardly any talent. Also they did not cater the offense for him until mid season.

This year Moore was awesome and I like Kmet, but they need more weapons. Also some interior O-line upgrades.

This. I don't view Fields as a third year QB because of all the crap and turmoil he's been through. This year they finally started putting some guys around him and he's starting to show what he can do. Need more weapons.

Keeping him may work in the Bears favor because if he performs next year you can then start talking long term but he won't command a monster contract. The circumstances might work in the Bears favor

As for this year, trade down, more picks. Get another 1st rounder next year and if Fields bust cut him loose and draft a QB next year.

The Bears need more draft capital to really beef up the roster.
