Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields has an improved supporting cast and continuity within the system and coaching staff, writes BradBiggs. Can he become the franchise's first 4,000-yard passer?
Quarterback Justin Fields speaks on July 25, 2023, as the Bears report to training camp at Halas Hall.
The Bears upgraded the offensive line, with Poles noting that first-round draft pick Darnell Wright, a projected Week 1 starter at right tackle, showed up in terrific shape. The wide receiver room significantly improved with DJ Moore and rookie Tyler Scott joining Darnell Mooney and Chase Claypool, who areAll of that is in support of 24-year-old quarterback Justin Fields, on whom so many are pinning the organization’s positive vibes. Without saying as much, it sure looks like Poles’ No.
“You want to see him improve everywhere. What he did with his legs was outstanding, but in the pass game, look at the different scenarios, situations, two-minute, and continue to improve that.”Bears quarterback Justin Fields keeps the ball for a rushing touchdown in the second quarter against the Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Nov. 20, 2022.
Don’t underestimate how critical this season is for Fields and the franchise. The natural timeline for a quarterback drafted in the first round is for the organization to have conviction — one way or the other — at the end of Year 3 in order to make a decision on the fifth-year option and potentially consider a second contract.
“A Bears quarterback hasn’t done it yet, so that would be cool,” Fields said. “With the help of this guy , hopefully I can get there.”
