A Scout’s Take: What’s the Problem with Justin Fields?

While the Chicago Bears are off to a good 2-1 start in 2022, the talk of the town isn't the start, but that second-year Quarterback Justin Fields hasn't played well yet. I disagree a little on that thought in that I feel under the circumstances of the opening game in a monsoon, he played very well, but yes, the last two games have been disappointing outings.

Because of that below-average play, several fans are already trying to label Fields a "bust." I feel it's way too early to go that far in the evaluation. To look at this topic objectively, let's first go back to how he played in his two seasons at Ohio State and last year in Chicago.
