It's easy to see why the Bears have brought Vick on board. Fields, in his career thus far, has shown parallels to the four-time Pro Bowl maestro. They're both dynamic athletes whose agility and speed pose significant threats to opposition defenses. Moreover, Vick has always been vocal about his admiration for Fields, even lavishing praise on him earlier this year.
Last season saw Fields accumulate over 1,000 rushing yards, an achievement Vick only accomplished once in his NFL career. While this is a commendable feat, Vick, having faced the consequences of relying too heavily on his rushing abilities, knows the importance of honing Fields' passing skills. Vick's career saw a decline as defenses began focusing on restricting his run game. This experience offers a wealth of knowledge that Vick can pass on to Fields, equipping the 24-year-old to tackle such challenges. After a somewhat shaky start last season, Fields appeared to find his stride as the season progressed. His performance in his third year will provide critical insights into whether he has the mettle to be the Bears' leading quarterback.
