lol what? When he played him week 1 he abandoned his plan.

it seems like Bears fans are more stubborn than Nagy. At least Nagy abandoned his plan when Bears fans won’t abandon this stupid narrative.
Wrong. Mahomes sporadically came in during games as well

This situation sure as hell has exposed those that carry water for the organization and those that are just afraid of having their access limited.

This is water carrying.

What the hell does Fields benefit from sitting on the bench. He has to throw that pick to Wilson to learn to not do it again. We all learn by doing.
Ok black rainbow jr…. ?

How do you learn to ride a bike? You get on it.... sometimes you fall.

How do you learn to play QB? Apparently by sitting on your ass... ?‍♂️

I think Fields should start next week

But what happened to the best player plays? Wasn’t that the CCS mantra all off season? Based on Sunday, Andy is the better player. I think if we move to Fields we need to acknowledge of dropping a game or 2 because of rookie mistakes, as very clearly could have happened Sunday

Which games?
His season totals from 2017 show him appearing in 1 game.
Really? Swore he came in on gimmicky plays. You’re correct then but a slight difference isn’t much to me. Fields isn’t learning by throwing one or two passes per game

I actually agree with the article. Everyone is excited to see what Fields can do, but let's progress at a pace that maximizes long term success.

FWIW, Andy was pretty good while he was in there. That's not some claim that he's better or it's an open competition. I'm just saying with the way that game turned out I'm pretty confident that the team could have also won if Dalton took all the snaps.

Right but are we trying to win games? Let’s be honest here Andy played better than Justin. That’s not saying Fields can’t win games but who gives us the best chance to win Sunday? All off season it was play the better player, now it’s not.

this is true. Those are Nagy gimmicks and unrelated to the sit or not argument. At this point it should become moot. Genie is out of the bottle.

Being the better player is different than getting better results in one game. Just like it was wrong to blame the 1st game on Dalton, it's wrong to assume that Fields is exactly what we saw last Sunday or will be that next Sunday.

You learn more by doing than you do by watching.

Then what are you basing justin being better off of then? I am literally basing it off the only direct comparison we have off of 2 players.

It's laughable to suggest Nagy hasn't tried to emulate Reid throughout his time with the bears including the Field situation. Nagy even mentioned Mahomes and Smith several times to the media when discussing Fields' development. The fact that it wasn't 100% the same doesn't make it less true that he was trying to follow the same formula. Had Smith got injured there's a good chance Reid would have eventually went to Mahomes as well as the starter.

It ends when he (and everyone else on the team) gets a ring.
