Everyone covering and rooting for the Chicago Bears anticipated a significant amount of changes being made to their entire roster heading into the 2023 off-season. In my opinion, upgrading their weaponry around the quarterback is tied with beefing up the pass protection on offense in terms of importance. This matches the recent league-wide trend of paying much more of a premium for receivers and tight ends than in recent years.
There was no conceivable way to overlook the importance of having actual and dependable targets available to the quarterback within any modern concept on offense.
The Bears could not protect Justin Fields — nor did they supply him with enough ammunition — to make any passing game work in 2022.
