Within Halas Hall and outside of it, there’s a rush for the Bears to figure out what they have in quarterback Justin Fields. Is he a franchise quarterback who can launch the organization out of perpetual mediocrity, or is he merely another name on the long list of non-answers they’ve had over the last few decades?
The frustrating part is that this isn’t the time to determine that. Not even close.
The Bears won’t truly know where Fields is heading until the games begin in September, but the first week of training camp was too early to make even an initial assessment when no one was in pads and he was free to shuffle casually in the pocket waiting for a wide receiver to get open.
