Matt Eberflus in awe after watching his new quarterback!
Matt Eberlfus was certainly well-aware of the fact he was getting a really talented, young QB when he took the job as head coach of the Chicago Bears a few months ago. Well, it looks like he was pleasantly surprised to see just how talented his newest signal-caller is.
"I would say, 'Man, he throws a good deep ball,'" Eberflus said Tuesday. "I'm excited about that. You could see it in the 7-on-7 and 11-on-11s. We're going to take our shots down the field. He does a nice job doing that, and that's what stands out to me."
"Those things stretch you," said Eberflus, who was hired by the Bears after spending the previous 13 seasons as an NFL defensive assistant. "When you get stretched vertically and horizontally like that, it always causes stressors on a defense."
"I'm in the quarterback meeting every morning and I really appreciate the way he coaches and the way he simplifies it for the players," Eberflus said. "He's doing a bang-up job in there, and you can see that in the execution on the field. The guys know what they're looking at and understand how to operate, and the offense is looking good."

This is great to hear. I know that the Bears need some help at both the offensive line and receiver position, but the most crucial aspect of this so-called "rebuild" is without a doubt the progression of QB Justin Fields. Let,s be honest, he has to take huge steps in the next season for this team to be successful.
Here is an example of the deep balls he can throw:
