Justin Fields named starter

[Royale with Cheese]

 

He's going to get killed over there.  Nagy is terrible.

Did Nagy promise Dalton he'd be the starter no matter what? Reminds me of when Matt Cassell took the very first snap of the season opener before Tyrod took over. His contract stipulated he would be the starter opening day.

Not much choice.  Bad teams play their 1st round QB picks.

Now the media can shut up. They have an unhealthy and annoying obsession with Fields and Nagy.

This will only get them talking more sadly 

[First Round Bust]

good move for the Bears, Fields gives them a modern qb; RPO, scramble, excites the fanbase,etc and they can always revert back to Dalton and the subsequent mediocrity

[mushypeaches]

They're just taking the next step in getting Justin Fields ready to be our backup QB in 2024

[WhoTom]

I seem to remember earlier this week when Nagy said Dalton would be the starter if he's healthy. Must have gotten a call from the front office.

 

Either way, it looks like another HC position opening up at the end of the year.

They have to go to Fields. Andy Dalton isn't even Andy Dalton any more. He is just flat out bad at this stage.

Nope. It's called a pivot. Trey Lance/Jimmy G talk coming until he's named permanent starter. 

[Chandler#81]

Whatev. He sucks and he’ll wash out in a few seasons. Bad attitude AND he’s ‘the Chosen One’ -for the BEARS.

🤦‍♂️

Think it’s just Nagy. I’m just curious to know what’s so much difference between Mitchell and Justin? Is Nagy really a QB guru? Bills thought Culley was in the beginning

On Monday, he literally said Dalton is the starter when healthy. What changed in the past 2 days? Dalton must be pissed. A good leader keeps his word; Nagy certainly did not.

My guess is this came down from management and he didn't have a choice.

Or Nagy is just an idiot, of which there is plenty of evidence

Sure, which is part of why he doesn't have a choice.  It's becoming clearer every week that he's gonna be out by the end of the year, and management / ownership probably stepped in to make sure they get a good look at Fields.
