Jordan Howard has been in a whirlwind of uncertainty for about 14 months. Ever since Matt Nagy was hired and the questions started about Howard’s fit in the new Chicago Bears’ offense, everyone wondered what would happen with him.
Did that uncertainty affect Howard’s play on the field? Could it have had an adverse affect on his attitude? Or was it simply that Howard just didn’t fit into the new offense?
All of those answers could be true. Regardless of what is fact, it doesn’t change the fact that Howard is coming off the worst season of his career and it has become almost universally accepted that his fit into Nagy’s offense would never be quite right.
