Since drafting Justin Fields in 2021 the Bears are 6-25 when he starts and 6-7 when the backup starts. (alien.top)

The bears now have as many wins in 13 games using a backup QB as they do in 31 games when Fields starts. People keep talking about how bad the rest of the roster is (which is true) but it's crazy how other guys have somehow managed to get it done.

As a neutral with no real concern for any of the teams or players, fields was leading the NFL in TDs when he got hurt, and it seemed like the coaches didn’t want him to run for the first month, and then he started to run a little and had back to back 4 TD games.

As for Nagy/trubisky, it seemed like Mitch would have a great game where he had designed runs and roll outs, then the next game they’d have him do 40 7-step drops and he’d be awful. That’s a coaching problem if you can’t see what he was good at and then build on it.
