Will Fields start the season?

[Spitta Andretti]

Fans are going to be calling for him from game 1 if Andy starts

 

[and 69 others]

Of course

Really wish they didn’t waste $ on Andy friggin Dalton and kept Fuller but oh well...maybe the Dalton signing helped as a smokescreen

No. And he shouldnt unless he absolutely balls out in the preseason. No need to rush this. Just look at how it worked out for Mahomes with a season behind Alex Smith. You give him a start or two near the end of the season hoping that Dalton stays healthy all season and doesnt force your hand.

3 losses he’s in

I thought you didn’t like him. No idea, can’t keep all the guys who didn’t like him in check anymore :/

agreed. No reason to rush him. This team won’t make the playoffs barring an Aaron Rodgers trade anyways.

we need to figure out this tackle situation before killing fields

Personally wanted Mac

I've been critical of Fields but I didnt care which one they ended up with in the end.

I'll be a Fields supporter

LOL...I'm still in shock. I thought pace would something stupid like go after Jones. WOW we got Fields ??

 

[Rise]

I really hope the fans don’t. What we need is dalton or Foles to carry us to an ok year and let him sit and learn. Just like Mahomes did. Do not toss him out there early unless he has earned it. We finally have a nice foundation to let a young talented qb learn in, use it please!

 

[Briggs is GOAT]

Sit him the whole season unless Dalton is absolute trash/gets hurt.

Fields gives ya more than Jones.

 

[tcmtrinity]

Hell yeah. Pace finally has his TE1.

You & I both liked Fields as the better than Wilson and Mac Jones.

I mean it’s inevitable Dalton sucks and/or gets hurt. I guess question is, is Fields your #2 or #3? If Foles is gone, Fields is staring by week 5 or 6.

So by oct 1?

 

[Urblock]

Toss him out there. Stop planning for the future. Play ball and win games. If he does he will own Chicago fans. If not keep drafting.

 

[CHIBEAR]

Of course you start him WTF !!!


Mahomes was a generational talent but also sat behind a qb who had been with the team 5 years and made the prow bowl 3 of those 5 years.

You prepare him as if hes gonna start and only deviate from it if he looks as though hes not ready . Now of course Pace and Nagy can save him for the next GM and coach but its really in their best interests and the teams to show that Fields, Montgomery, Mooney, Arob, Kmet, and Cohen are one of the most existing young offenses in the game .

 

[Bears4Ever_34]

I think they're going to try and Jordan Love him this year, but things almost never work out that way. Dalton and Foles are not the most reliable guys to count on, and Matt Nagy could still be fighting for his job.

 

[Brandon Marshall]

Depends on a few things.

1) Draft OL in round 2
2) Is that OL we drafted in round 2 a capable starter to begin with?

If yes, then:

3) Is Fields good enough to start?

If he is, then you play him. If he's good enough and the OL can't protect him, then I do not want him developing bad habits because he's rushing through everything just to avoid getting sacked.
