CHICAGO BEARS ENGAGE IN A CHAT
The Bears’ quarterback question consumes all of my attention.
But soon, there might be another one picking at them.
The Bears will have another issue if they determine that dealing Justin Fields is the best course of action. Not one, but two quarterbacks will be required. Caleb Williams would be one, of course. They would then require one more.
This isn’t necessarily in favour of the Andy Dalton/Fields or Mike Glennon/Mitchell Trubisky reenactments, but it is more than just necessary to find another one.
You’ll recall the catastrophe in Glennon. When Trubisky was ready, he was supposed to be the bridge, but in reality, he was a bridge to nowhere. Following his arrival and three years of $43.5 million from Ryan Pace, Glennon declared to the world, “This is My Year,” going 1-3 with five interceptions, five fumbles, eight sacks, and a 76.9 passer rating. After that, John Fox said that Trubisky’s squad was in charge, for better or worse, and the big man’s “year” was finished.
Before suffering a knee injury, Dalton started one whole game and nearly half of another. After that, he only appeared as Fields’ backup when the rookie was hurt.
And that’s precisely the point: Dalton was out of the starting lineup for 1 and a half games.
Tyson Bagent, who has four and a half games of experience following Division II ball without being picked, and the rookie quarterback from USC are the only options left for the Bears if they select Caleb Williams and cut Justin Fields.
