The big concern among Bears fans, especially supporters of Justin Fields, is whether Caleb Williams is actually going to be an upgrade should the Bears select him.
They see their own quarterback from a winning college program who has gradually improved each of his three years without becoming a huge success as a passer. Now they finally see him backed by a strong defense and believe he’d make the great strides they hoped for all along.
The Bears are going to dump this possible future for a rookie who might be overrated as far as anyone knows?
It’s a classic case of being comfortable with mediocrity.
The Bears could draft Williams and if he bombs out, then Fields goes on to great success elsewhere, it could be even worse than the Mitchell Trubisky/Patrick Mahomes debacle.
Besides running for some touchdowns and leading the Bears to four wins in his last seven starts, Fields hasn’t really done anything to indicate he’s a winner in his three years of play. He had a 53.4 passer rating in fourth quarters and 51.1% completions then. You can only blame his pass blocking for so long and then Tyson Bagent comes in and has a sacks percentage 7% lower than Fields did, and more targets are catching passes.
Along comes a quarterback who is being compared to Mahomes by everyone from his own coaches, to scouts, to Snoop Dogg of all people.
