Analyzing the Bears’ preseason — and predictions for 2022
Bears quarterback Justin Fields and coach Matt Eberflus talk after the Bears’ win against the Browns last week.With the season opener about a week away, the Sun-Times’ Patrick Finley breaks down the Bears’ biggest questions:
Where will Justin Fields rank among the NFL’s QBs this year?
FINLEY: As a second-year starter on a run-first team — sound familiar? — the Eagles’ Jalen Hurts ranked 27th with 209.6 passing yards per game, 22nd with an 87.2 passer rating and led all quarterbacks with 52.3 rushing yards per game last year. I expect a similar season out of Fields. He has more talent than Hurts — especially when it comes to deep throws — but less talent around him.
