BTW, I have been reading and seeing a lot of stuff that says it really doesn't matter that much what Fields does in the last 7 games, barring being extremely bad or extremely amazing.
That line of thinking goes like this:
If Bears end up with a top-2 pick, Poles is moving on almost no matter what. He will trade Fields and take the opportunity to reset the rookie QB contract clock.
If Bears do not end up with a top-2 pick, Fields will be the starting QB here next year.
Feel free to agree or disagree but that doesn't seem far-fetched to me.
But he's gotta prove in these 7 games that he is the guy. Ball is in his court right now to prove that. Consistent play. Solid play.
On the draft scenarios, its damned if you do and damned if you don't. For instance...
Yes, I know it's early but right now no question we whiffed on CJ Stroud. If you doubt that, ask yourself: If I could turn back the clock to last spring knowing what I now know, would I draft CJ Stroud? And the obvious answer to that is: YES!
If Fields gets shipped out and goes somewhere else to ball out...
If you keep Fields and pass on Williams or Maye and they go on to be great...
Watch us somehow missing out on drafting MHJ by only one pick. Just like we did with Aaron Donald...
All these things are why GMs get paid millions
