Actually it wasn’t. Tomlin said so in October when he benched Fields

"Justin has been really good, and we've been really good at times, but not to be confused with great," Tomlin said earlier this week. "This is a competitive league. We're trying to position ourselves to be that team and we got a player with talent who hadn't had an opportunity to play, so we're going to potentially explore those things sometimes it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with what Justin has done or has not done."

Tomlin promised Russ the job to get him to sign there.

You just proved my point. Fields was benched in favor of Wilson. Fields had his chance and couldn’t win the job. Wilson then went on and proved Fields is a career backup QB.

Benched…

Also it's super easy to see that Williams > Fields. If you think Williams sucks well, God damn Fields is way worse. I have no understanding of the infatuation with Fields. And yeah, when all is said and done he's going to be a career backup.

Why are so many of you obsessed with Fields still, when the Bears already have a better QB?
repeating for emphasis. Fields is gone. he had his time with the Bears. he's not coming back. I don't even think about him beyond reading this nonsensical drivel here still. some of you people need to find other shit outside of football to occupy your time, it's driving you mad.

There must be a tingle that runs down their legs when they think if him.

Fields is a career backup QB. He should have been ecstatic that he fleeced the Bears

Who knows how his career may have went if he was drafted anywhere but chicago. The bears are experts at destroying QB's, they tried their best to do it to caleb this year too.

Also, caleb knew he was going to the bears for like 4 months.

If this was a draft time decision and the bears traded up to #1 im sure he'd have the same look. No one wants to be drafted as a QB by the chicago bears with their track record

We probably would know because if the Bears don't trade up, the Vikes stay at their pick and draft Fields IMO.

Patriots also wanted him I'm pretty sure as well. KoC with fields would have certainly been interesting.

I gave up on that 4th round pick awhile ago.

Endless patience for Fields, zero patience for Williams. Even with Williams having a better season that Fields ever has had statistically. I’ll never understand it.
It’s 95 percent bitterness bc of trading Justin fields and not wanting to be wrong about fields. So make things up like everybody said he was generational (literally everybody!) so the team should have been immediately propped up by Caleb.

The seeds for this were being planted before the draft. Talking about crazy expectations he had to meet

Yeah I said he was generational and I still believe it. What he is doing this season around this shit show is remarkable. I can’t wait to see him when he has a solid system in place, real oline and running game.

oh no!!! bad people had expectations for a #1 overall pick at QB that was hyped as being the guy from day 1. that he would make those around him better, that the O line would look better cuz CW is back there instead of JF1.

how dare folks hold a player to a standard!! #ParticipationTrophy
