MVP? Generational QB? Expectations for Justin Fields should focus on improving

Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times

Bears quarterback Justin Fields is entering his third season.

Monday, one ESPN analyst claimed that Justin Fields was going to play like an MVP in 2023.

Tuesday, another one said that Fields will be the franchise quarterback for which Bears fans have waited their entire lives.

Wednesday, Fields was dominated in training camp practice by a Bears defense that was the worst in the league last season.

The disparity between bold predictions and cold reality has never been more stark — and it’s only early August. While some outside Halas Hall tout Fields as the next great quarterback, those inside the Bears’ facility simply want to see growth.
