Call Justin Fields a can’t-mess prospect

There’s no doubt Justin Fields is the right quarterback for the Bears.

Poise from Day 1. Miles to his deep ball. And speed. That sweet, sweet speed the franchise has never had at the position. He has the potential to be everything his predecessors over the previous century weren’t.

But, as Bears great Jim McMahon so harshly — and precisely — put it recently, Chicago is “where quarterbacks go to die.” So the real question is whether the Bears are the right franchise for Fields.

More specifically, is Matt Nagy the right coach to develop him into the maximum version of himself?
