Former Super Bowl champion Steve Beurlein QB was on a podcast recently and gave his opinion on why Justin Fields did not work out in Chicago.
Beuerlein said that he believes Fields was not successful due to the organization not surrounding him with the right talent.
"I think there were a lot of things working against him in Chicago. Mainly the instability and overall talent around him. Not being given the opportunity to grow in a system with a lot of weapons and different offensive philosophies that would fit him,» Beuerlein said during his appearance. "My big statement on this whole evolution of what happened with Justin Fields, I though the Bears made a huge mistake not trading that first pick. I think the Bears, if they trade away that first pick, commit to Fields for one more year what they would've gotten in exchange for that first pick could've solidified that football team in a lot of areas, and prepared and set the table to go on a really nice run either this year or next year."
While this is not the only issue Fields has, it is hard to argue it was not a factor since the Bears seemed to have done a lot more to surround Caleb Williams with the proper talent.
