New Bears center: Unfair to compare Justin Fields to Aaron Rodgers

Lucas Patrick was Aaron Rodgers’ center last year and is Justin Fields’ snapper this season. And no, he doesn’t want to compare the Bears’ second-year quarterback to the Packers legend.

“It’s tough to compare those two guys,” he said after the Bears’ OTA practice at Halas Hall. “You know, you’ve got, what, a 16- 17-year veteran and a second-year player. I mean, if I’m being honest, it’s like comparing an apple to an orange. It’s kind of a tough one, to pigeon-hole those against each other.”

The same could be said of every quarterback the Bears have pitted against Rodgers; in 28 starts, the Packers quarterback has beaten his rival 23 times.
