Justin Fields’ divisive departure from Chicago bears exposed, now faces uncertain future with Steelers.

Justin Fields’ Divisive Departure from Chicago Bears Exposed ¹:

– Justin Fields was dealt a bad hand when the Bears selected him in the 2021 NFL Draft

– Like many promising signal-callers, Fields entered the NFL in a losing situation without the necessary support, infrastructure, and clear plan to develop and reach the star potential his talent suggests

– The 24-year-old has shown flashes during a three-year stretch that would have chewed up most young quarterbacks and spit them out

– He has had two head coaches and two offensive systems

– He has had his mechanics altered

– He’s played behind an offensive line that has been under construction and, until DJ Moore arrived, had limited weapons

– The Bears asked Fields to prove he was a franchise quarterback while swimming uphill during a rebuild

– Fields’ third season has had ups and downs

– There was the slow start followed by eight touchdown passes in two games against the Broncos and Commanders

– A dislocated thumb and a four-week absence followed

– Fields returned in Week 11 and has played well since getting back on the grass

– As Fields’ season speeds toward a crescendo, the Bears quarterback is aware of the chatter surrounding his uncertain future at the helm of the franchise

– The Bears currently are in line to own the No. 1 overall pick via the Carolina Panthers

– With Caleb Williams and Drake Maye expected to declare for the draft, many expect the Bears to move on from Fields this offseason and reset the quarterback contract clock with a guy of Poles’ choosing.
