Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields has shown more and more glimpses of being the offensive team leader the front office imagined he would be when they selected him in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. But is his growing field maturity and efficiency making the case for him remaining in Chicago or is it merely bolstering his trade value on the open market? It’s almost a sure thing now that the Bears will have the overall no. 1 pick in this coming year’s draft from the Carolina Panthers. That means they’ll have first dibs on blue chip quarterback…

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields has a lot of support when it comes to keeping his starting gig with the Bears, even as the “Trade Fields” contingent continues to voice its support of moving on from the 24-year-old. One of the most vocal pro-Fields supporters has been Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, who’s already publicly stated on a few occasions that Chicago can and should build around the 3-year veteran. Micah Parsons Bullish on Fields In a recent edition of his The Edge With Micah Parsons podcast, the defensive star affirmed his belief that the Bears, with Fields leading the…

The Chicago Bears’ quarterback Justin Fields may be on the outs after three up-and-down seasons with the team. The Pittsburgh Steelers are in desperate need of a steady, high-end QB to lead the offense after Kenny Pickett, selected with the team’s 20th overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, has failed to dazzle. So, does this make the Bears and the Steelers a draft trade match made in heaven? Chicago Bears-Pittsburgh Steelers: The Justin Fields Trade According to Parker Abate of Steelernation.com, the answer is “yes, of course.” “It’s fair to say that the Chicago Bears stink,” Abate recently opined.…

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields has shown significant progress these last few games, demonstrating a greater proficiency for throwing the ball and not simply relying on his mobility to move the ball downfield. The 3-year veteran is giving the appearance of being the type of player the team hoped he would become when they drafted him with their 2021 first round NFL draft pick (11th overall). But that doesn’t mean that they will keep him as their starting QB. Chicago Bears Likely To Trade Justin Fields? There’s a growing sentiment that the Bears will move on from Fields and select…

Up until a couple of weeks ago, it was considered a foregone conclusion that Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus would be fired sometime between now and the offseason. A semi-rebuild was set to begin with the ousting of Eberflus and quarterback Justin Fields. A new coach would be brought in to guide an incoming rookie starting quarterback, selected with the Bears’ overall no.1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft. Hold your horses, though. The Chicago Bears Have Been Killing It The Bears are on a 2-0 run and have played increasingly well over the last few weeks. Fields has…

How about this to chew on? The 5-8 Chicago Bears, who started the season 0-4 and sputtered unevenly until fairly recently, could make the playoffs AND get the overall no. 1 in the 2024 NFL draft. If it DID happen, it would be the first time a team has accomplished that best-of-both-worlds feat since the 1973-1974 Dallas Cowboys. Wow. Is this some sort of Bizarro World fan fiction, concocted by a delusional die heard Bears fan with way too much Red Bull in their system? Honestly, maybe. But, actually, it IS possible. Technically possible. Technically possible, with a whole lot…

Sunday, at Soldier Field in Chicago, the Chicago Bears beat NFC North rivals, the Detroit Lions 28-13 to up their record to 5-8 on the season. This is the first time under head coach Matt Eberflus’ tenure that the team has won back-to-back games. Avenging their frustrating Week 11 31-26 loss to the Lions– one which saw them allow fifteen come from behind points in the last four minutes of the game– the team looked sharp and motivated. Bolstered by a strong defensive effort (which has now allowed 13 or fewer points in back-to-back games) and an effective Justin Fields-DJ…

The future of Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields with the 4-8 Monsters of the Midway may be up in the air, but there should be no doubt that the 24-year-old is still very much a bad man with a lot of tools that could burn an opposing defense. This Sunday’s game with the Detroit Lions should showcase some of that “badness” in a pairing that, realistically, means much more to the Lions than the Bears. For Chicago’s sake, the fans hope that Fields’ “badness” is not literal. Lions head coach Dan Campbell is one of those who not only recognizes…

Wide receiver DJ Moore has been a bright and shining light in a Chicago Bears season that has been mostly gloomy and, at times, dreadful. The talented 6-year veteran now finds himself forced to dip his big toe into the gloom as he waits to see what the future holds for quarterback Justin Fields. Chicago Bears at the Crossroads with Justin Fields Big decisions about the future of the team and, specifically, the future of Fields with the team will have to be made between now and the 2024 draft. Moore, however, is making it clear that he’s more than…

Justin Fields’ future is in limbo. The next five weeks or so will either serve as the saving grace of his run with the Chicago Bears or as the swan song of a failed effort to lead the offense of the historical franchise. This also could threaten his status as a starting NFL quarterback altogether. The Bears will likely have the first overall pick of the 2024 draft and two of the first five picks. With stud quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Drake Maye available, there’s a big possibility of the team choosing one to begin a rebuild, of sorts, at…
