Justin Fields remains unfazed by MVP chatter, expressing confidence in the Bears' offense as they gear up to face the Packers in Week 1.
While the title of "MVP" hasn't been traditionally associated with Bears quarterbacks, Justin Fields is changing the narrative as he enters his pivotal third season in Chicago.
With the Bears' season opener against the Green Bay Packers just two weeks away, Fields has made it to the top 10 MVP odds. Although he showcased his prowess as the NFL's most dynamic runner last year, his passing skills were less than stellar, mainly due to a struggling offensive line and subpar weapons.
Despite these challenges, the external buzz around Fields is that he's poised to rise dramatically this season, potentially becoming one of the NFL's standout stars. However, Fields remains unaffected by the hype, prioritizing winning over accolades.
Fields commented on the MVP discussions, stating, "The talk doesn't help us win games. What matters is being the best player for my team."
In the recent 24-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Fields' performance was mixed, yet he is confident that the Bears are prepared for their upcoming game against the Packers. He emphasized his team's commitment to continuous improvement and being better every day.
The Bears have made significant efforts to enhance their offense, with key acquisitions like wide receiver DJ Moore and improvements to the offensive line. Although training camp presented a mix of highs and lows, the consensus is that Fields and the offense are on the right trajectory.
Head coach Matt Eberflus is optimistic about Fields' progress, remarking, "We're excited where we are, but we still have a lot of work ahead."
As the countdown to their game against the Packers begins, all eyes will be on Fields, watching to see if he can turn MVP discussions into a reality.
