Then he proceeded to strip the team and screw over the young talent on the team!! Giving Fields the least amount help in the league and expect him to do everything. Then when the team is about to make the turn you trade Fields for nothing only to draft the same player! The Bears could have kept Fields, traded the picks and land 2-3-star quality players including a generational talent like Marvin Harrison Jr.

[@courtneyreisert6807]

Poles wanted the chance to draft his own franchise QB. Justin was drafted by Ryan Pace. I don’t think we ever gave Justin the best talent or opportunities to succeed, but there were things that needed cleaning up within his game and mechanics that didn’t get cleaned up. I think Poles respected Fields enough to take a lower pick to put Justin in a situation where he was truly wanted. Mike Tomlin will give Fields a chance to compete for the job and learn with Russ. Other teams were not going to start Justin or even consider him for a starting job. I’m trying to trust the process on this. I liked Justin and I wanted him to be our QB, but we have a huge opportunity to flip this franchise potentially. I want to see what this looks like.
