Fields is the best athlete the Bears have at the position. He probably has a better and more accurate arm than Bagent too. However, in the games I’ve seen with Bagent so far his football IQ is much higher than Fields’s as a rookie. He might misread a coverage but he is doing a really good job of progressing through his reads and dumping passes off to his RBs or TEs when the first and second options aren’t available and he runs when he needs to. I’m not sure Fields is able to progress through his reads this year as well as Bagent is as a rookie. So I don’t think the drop off from Fields is as big as people make it out to be. Again Bagent is a rookie, he threw a bad pick last game because of a coverage that he mis read but that was against a NO defense. I’m not scared of the Carolina defense.

Sincerely, A Bears Fan
