Chicago Bears: Won’t Sit Justin Fields ‘Just for Fun’

Chicago Bears (Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports)

While it’s been said that the Chicago Bears intend on starting Andy Dalton as ‘QB1’ against the Los Angeles Rams Week 1, there’s a rumor that the Bears won’t sit Justin Fields “just for fun,” to give quarterback duties to Dalton.

“Now, if Fields is just undeniable over the next three to four months in training camp, they’re not going to just sit him just for fun or posterity just to play the veteran. So they’re going to give him the best chance, but they’re OK sitting Fields if Dalton has a good grasp on the job and they feel like they can win with him.
