Colin Cowherd contends that Justin Fields may not be the solution for the Bears.
Following the Bears' snowy victory over the Atlanta Falcons, the momentum behind Justin Fields has grown, with more supporters jumping on the bandwagon. However, one national NFL analyst remains skeptical about the Bears' third-year quarterback.
Colin Cowherd, on his show "The Herd," presented an argument against Justin Fields, highlighting various aspects of his performance that he finds less than desirable. Cowherd pointed out that Fields has faced criticism for his passing abilities and highlighted his statistics.
Fields currently holds a 10-27 record as a starter in his career, with 11 missed starts, which Cowherd considers a significant number. Fields' career completion percentage stands at just over 60%, specifically at 60.2%. He averages 167 passing yards per game and has recorded 40 touchdowns and 30 interceptions in his career. His career passer rating is 82.0.
It's worth noting that Fields' numbers have shown improvement in his current season. He has thrown for over 2,400 yards in 12 games (averaging 201 yards per game), with 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Additionally, he has rushed for 630 yards and four touchdowns.
Cowherd acknowledges the marginal improvement in Fields' numbers but remains critical, particularly of his passer rating, which has only seen slight increases each year.
Despite Fields playing in his third year with several upgrades, Cowherd questions whether the Bears have full confidence in the quarterback Fields has become and will continue to develop into in the future.
Cowherd suggests that the 2024 NFL draft could offer a superior quarterback prospect, specifically mentioning Caleb Williams as a more accurate passer and a better option. He proposes the idea of trading Fields, preferably to Atlanta or possibly Washington, for a second-round pick.
The Bears possess the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, and there is reportedly a market for Fields, with his trade value estimated to be a second- or third-round pick. However, Cowherd emphasizes his preference for selecting a star quarterback in the upcoming draft, specifically Caleb Williams, who he believes embodies the qualities of a star quarterback.
In summary, Colin Cowherd remains unconvinced by Justin Fields and suggests that the Bears may have an opportunity to secure a more promising quarterback in the 2024 NFL draft, potentially through trading Fields. He singles out Caleb Williams as his preferred choice for a star quarterback.
