The Nonexistent Quarterback Controversy for the Bears Has Finally Concluded
On Sunday, General Manager Ryan Poles expressed hope for Justin Fields' potential early return to the Bears' lineup, possibly in time for their Thursday night clash with the Carolina Panthers. NFL Network insiders had earlier suggested that Fields' return for the Thursday game was a possibility. With three practice sessions ahead, the Bears will evaluate if Fields is primed for play. Should he be fit, he'll be the starter. If not, I'm comfortable with Tyson Bagent stepping in again for another prime-time showcase.
To clarify, I'm not advocating for Bagent to become the permanent starter. Rather, I see value in him assuming a caretaker role�like a trusted neighbor who looks after your house, not one who permanently moves in. So far, Bagent has demonstrated that he's a capable backup in development, and any attempts to label him as more than that are misguided or insincere.
Looking back, Bagent's journey might shine as a highlight in a challenging season. His fearless playstyle is infectious:
Watching Bagent play is reminiscent of watching a carefree underdog�there's a certain charm in his nothing-to-lose attitude, and I find myself wishing his coaches would take a page from his playbook.
Being the backup QB for the Bears is akin to watching a playful puppy�it's entertaining in an innocent, unguarded way. You can't help but smile at the puppy's boundless energy, even though you're aware that accidents happen and you may need to clean up an occasional mess without any hard feelings.
In the first half, Bagent was that joyful puppy, eagerly greeting you after a long day�completing 10 of 13 passes with two touchdowns and an impressive passer rating. However, the second half showed a different side�like a puppy that knows it's done wrong, with Bagent's performance dipping to a lower completion rate, no touchdowns, and a couple of interceptions.
