The Chicago Bears are hoping that Justin Fields makes another huge jump this season. After having an improved second year, the Bears are hoping his game evolves even more. The Bears have had a good offseason and have improved the roster significantly. It is now on Fields to show that he can be the quarterback of the future. The Bears brought in legendary quarterback Michael Vick to work with Fields this offseason.
Justin Fields Works With Michael Vick
It makes sense that the Bears would bring in Vick. Fields had the second most rushing yards for a quarterback in a season behind only Lamar Jackson and just ahead of Vick. However, while Vick was electric with his legs, his arm was elite as well. This is where Fields needs to improve. Some of his passing stat lines last season were downright awful. A lot of people blamed this on the talent around him and while this was some of it, Fields struggled with accuracy as well. The Bears are hoping that Vick can show him some of the ropes.
All On Fields
The rest of the roster should take a step forward but the Bears are going nowhere unless Fields takes a step forward. Even with his great statistical season on the ground, the Bears still ended the season with the worst record in the league. With an improved offensive line, DJ Moore, and familiarity with the system, Fields has no excuse anymore. He has to show that he can become the quarterback of the future and the Bears are giving him every opportunity to show that.
The Chicago Bears were smart to bring in Michael Vick to talk with Justin Fields. If Fields can get to the level of passing ability that Vick had, the Bears are going to be a very scary team to deal with for a long time.
