Is it time for Bears fans to start panicking? Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields has made a significant move on social media by unfollowing his own team on Instagram. This action has sparked a discussion among fans on President’s Day, questioning whether Fields is still a part of the Bears’ future plans.
Fields’ decision to unfollow the Bears comes at a time when reports suggest that Chicago has already made up their mind regarding their quarterback situation. They are currently contemplating between sticking with Fields as their starter or potentially selecting a new quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Many projections point towards USC QB Caleb Williams as a potential candidate.
This news is certainly concerning. It seems that Fields may be aware of something that the fans are not. Despite having a successful season, where he achieved career highs in passing yards (2,562) and completion percentage (61.4), Fields has failed to fully convince the Bears organization that he is the long-term solution at the quarterback position. He did, however, contribute significantly with 642 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground, totaling 20 touchdowns overall.
The Bears have already taken steps to improve their offense by parting ways with offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. Now, all attention is focused on who will be the starting quarterback for the team in 2024.
Bears president Kevin Warren has expressed his support for Fields, highlighting his exceptional qualities both on and off the field. Warren, who previously worked with Fields during his time as the commissioner of the Big Ten conference, commends Fields for his intelligence, size, strength, and speed. He believes that Fields has the potential to continuously improve and become an even better player with each passing year.
The big question now is whether the Bears will choose to stick with Fields or go in a different direction by making Caleb Williams their starting quarterback in 2024. Fans are encouraged to share their predictions and thoughts on this matter by emailing alejandro.avila@.
