Forget Andy Dalton, the Bears need to make Justin Fields the starting quarterback right now.
So says former Bears wide receiver Wille Gault.
“The coach is going to make that decision, but for me, let’s go!” Gault told TMZ Sports at a charity softball game in Los Angeles on Sunday.
“Why not?! Off the bat, absolutely.”
Despite the hue and cry from Bears fans to make Fields the Week 1 starter, coach Matt Nagy has said Dalton is the team’s starting quarterback. Case closed.
But Fields’ performances in training camp practices and the first two preseason games keeps the debate alive … at least among fans and some Super Bowl-winning former players.
