The Bears officially introduced new HC Matt Eberflus and GM Ryan Poles on Monday. And Chicago's new brain trust showed the proper commitment to QB Justin Fields, writes BryanPerezNFL. FrontOffice33 | DaBears
introduced Ryan Poles as the team’s new general manager and Matt Eberflus as the club’s new head coach on Monday, and while the pair certainly offered plenty of quotable moments, the biggest takeaway from the press conference didn’t come from either one of them. Instead, it was Justin Fields.
Fields’ excitement to work with Eberflus is encouraging, but what’s even more important is the fact that his opinion mattered enough to the Bears’ new regime to be included in Monday’s presser. It’s the kind of commitment to the team’s young franchise quarterback that was missing under Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy, who left Fields to spar with Andy Dalton for the leadership role in the locker room in 2021.
Fields beginning year two as the unquestioned leader of the Bears will have a significant trickle-down effect on not just the offense, but the entire team. And having a defensive-minded head coach who won’t prioritize his offense over his quarterback’s development is a positive, too. So much for that narrative of the Bears missing the mark by not prioritizing a young offensive-minded coach to develop Fields. Instead, they’ll trust new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy with that responsibility.
