Any first-round pick at quarterback will always be the prevailing story of a preseason. They are, naturally, the expected future of an organization. The basket a franchise is putting all its eggs into. Justin Fields is no different. If anything, he might be an exception to the rule in that he’s already transcending past that general future-of-the-franchise quarterback conversation. Thursday was another perfect example.
As the Bears tilted off against the Dolphins in another joint practice, it was the Fields Show all over on Field 3 at Halas Hall. Even if Fields has yet to take snaps with Chicago’s starting offense, it appears he’s more than comfortable with their backups and depth position players.
