Fields has a learning curve ahead of him that begins when he plays. Rookie QBs are, well, rookie QBs. If he sits for 10 years on the bench there are SOME things he will only learn by doing. There is no getting around that fact.
Get used to it guys because there will be rough games from this kid no matter when he is anointed the starter.
So we should just throw him in the fire and hope he doesn't turn out like Trubisky?
We have no reason to throw him out there. Let him learn, let us get better supporting cast and play caller.

Joe Burrow had 3 ints today. Should the Bengals get Andy Dalton back and "sit" Burrows for another year? Cmon. I'm more ticked by the WRs not making catches today than with Fields.
You don't know what Zach Wilson is yet...this is a ridiculous statement.
How so?
He's a QB who has more INT's than TD's. He's clearly not ready for the NFL and throwing Fields out there will end up exactly like Wilson. The 2nd half alone proved Fields ain't ready.
LMAO!!!! You know how many INT's Peyton Manning had through his first two games his rookie year? SIX!!! And he only had 2 TD's.
Either way, you don't know what Zach Wilson is or will be. Do I think he's the next Peyton? Absolutely not. I don't even think he's as good as Fields...but one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Some of you act like every QB who ever started right away has been ruined, when that is not the case at all. Wilson will probably not be good because he's not good and never should have been the 2nd overall pick...gee...who does that remind everyone of?

Apparently not. If he sits we are assured its a sure thing he turns into Mahomes. Sure thing. And if he plays, he'll be Zach Wilson apparently. 100% guarenteed.

Every player and situation is unique. I'd be fine if Dalton starts a few more games... the world won't end. But I'm also fine if Fields starts next week. Will he (gasp) make some rookie QB mistakes? Certainly. This is what rookie QBs do. I'd prefer to see him get some of this out of his system and learn - and come into 2022 that much ahead of the game regarding the learning curve he has to climb.
I'm watching the game right now (I record them to re-watch). I think Bears fans are totally over-reacting to one game here. They need to get a grip.

Jackson threw a ball that got picked because he didn't see the DEF switch from one coverage to another. Vet QBs make mistakes, but apparently, Fields can't make even one.
Fields making mistakes and learning during a lost season >> Nick Foles.
Throwing fields out there and making him Zach Wilson <<<<<< Being patient with him and having him sit to turn into Mahomes/Rodgers.
You realize KC's decision to "sit Mahomes" turned out to the WRONG one, don't you?
We understand why it happened--Alex Smith was playing lights out--but Mahomes should have been starting. He was clearly the better player almost immediately.
Fields will be starting week 3 and that ends it. He starts rest of the year unless hurt. The Dalton injury provides a convenient excuse.

Trubisky "turned out" like Trubisky because he was Trubisky. It wouldn't have mattered if he started week 5 or week 50. No correlation between those two things.
