Former Bears Offensive Coordinator Getsy Opens Up About Justin Fields Following His Move to the Raiders
If Justin Fields stays with the Chicago Bears, he'll be working with his third offensive coordinator in as many years, all while navigating the significant scrutiny surrounding his suitability for the quarterback position.
Luke Getsy, Fields' most recent offensive coordinator, shared his insights on the quarterback after accepting a position with the Las Vegas Raiders this offseason. On February 16, as reported by ESPN's Paul Gutierrez, Getsy praised Fields' development, describing him as "one of the best human beings I've ever got to work with" due to his daily work ethic, consistent approach, and character. Getsy believes Fields will continue to improve, emphasizing the quarterback's dedication to growth.
The future of Fields with the Bears is uncertain, especially with the team holding the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Analysts widely anticipate that Bears' GM Ryan Poles might draft USC's Caleb Williams, a prospect likened to Patrick Mahomes for his exceptional talent. This speculation suggests Fields could be traded, despite some internal discussions about retaining him even if Williams is drafted, a strategy ESPN's Adam Schefter highlighted as both intriguing and risky according to former Bears Director of Player Personnel Josh Lucas.
Interestingly, the Raiders emerge as a potential trade destination for Fields, setting the stage for a possible reunion with Getsy in Las Vegas. Although their time together in Chicago didn't yield spectacular results, with Fields showing modest improvements in his completion percentage and standout moments as a rusher, the possibility of their collaboration in a new environment remains open. Fields' performance, particularly his rushing achievements and moments of brilliance as a passer, highlights his potential, even as the Bears and the NFL move into a period of free agency and trade discussions.
