Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields has looked stronger in his rhythm and timing so far this spring, according to head coach Matt Eberflus during his presser Friday, May 5.'Obviously, the priority is the passing game. We ran the ball very well (last year). But we all know that we've got to improve in the passing game. Part of that is the rhythm and timing. That's the footwork with Justin. He's been really working on that, really good - in terms of the quick pass, drop-back pass, movement passes. And he's really made some big strides in that area, coming so far on his own, and now coming into the Phase II, that first week,' Eberflus said.

Fields is hoping to follow a path similar to what we saw from Eagles' QB Jalen Hurts. The Bears have added more talent around him in the passing game, and that should continue to help him grow as a passer. Fields is still dangerous as a runner, but he'll need to be a better passer to play up to his enormous potential. So far, Fields is on the right track.
This is from Footballguys. I think Fields is in a for a big leap.
