  • Bonus question - what would it take for Fields to remain the Plan A starter for the Bears next year?

    My take: good QBs have bad games and bad QBs have good games. In order to be considered a long term option, the bare minimum you want to see is twice as much good as bad. This year Fields has been the other way, with 2 good games and 4 awful ones. By this admittedly simple logic, he would need 6 consecutive good games with zero stinkers before I would consider him to have turned the quarter and re-entered the franchise QB discussion. (By this same logic, two more awful games would mathematically eliminate him from achieving the magic 2:1 ratio this year.) So yes, I think it is still possible that Fields turns it around and becomes the guy. As a Bears fan that’s what we should all be rooting for. But the odds of that happening look very slim indeed right now.
