Montez Sweat 1st Presser (impressive guy)

Every player and every player situation is unique.  Fields has had to overcome poor coaches and poor support players in previous years - to the point they were wasted as far as evaluating anything other than the fact the Bears continued to fail their drafted quarterbacks here.  This season we had Getsy in his second year here, and arguably not quite as bad as a play-caller.  And we had D.J. Moore, a great WR.  The OL was horrific in the early games though... arguably worse than before.  Regardless, Fields had 5.5 games before he was injured and Bagent took over in that 6th game.  

So we have a half of a season to watch Fields play with a (now) better OL, hopefully a better Getsy calling plays.  It "should" be a better opportunity to properly evaluate where Fields is, in his development.  Certainly better than the opening games this year that were so bad.  Better defense and offense.  Hopefully a better Getsy too.  But regardless I believe the last half of this season could reveal valuable evidence of where Justin Fields is at on his learning curve - and more evidence helps support making a better decision at the end of the year.  So these games matter.  At least that's my belief.  I am a slow methodical guy.  I value being thoughtful when making decisions (at least when time permits).  We have the time.  Fields is here for the last half of the season.  Let's make certain we evaluate all of the evidence and then make an informed decision on him at the end of the season.  That just makes sense to me.

Braxton Jones has not proven he's the guy we need at LT.  He has shown some promising evidence, along with some bonehead plays too.  This last half of the season matters with him also.  I want to see evidence of improvement - just like I want to see in Justin Fields - in this last half of the season.  JMO.
