Justin Fields is officially getting his shot to be the starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears. It might have taken less-than-ideal circumstances for it to happen, but it feels like it’s long overdue.
That’s a bit odd to think, considering it is only Week 3. But, when you’re a team that trades the kind of draft capital the Bears did for a guy like Fields, one would think he’d be “the” guy a whole lot sooner.
In fact, many believed Fields should have been the starter to open the season. He should have gotten an opportunity to prove himself during training camp, at least.
