After an offseason like few before it, Bears fan now know who will line up under centre when they travel west to Los Angeles for the Sunday Night Football opener.
The primetime matchup always gains momentum heading into a new season but excitement has reigned in Chicago ever since Roger Goodell read out Justin Field’s name with the 11th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Despite the fan hysteria, Matt Nagy took a more prudent approach when determining QB1 for the regular season, proclaiming Andy Dalton as the Week 1 starter.
As referenced by NFL Network’s Adam Schefter, Fields will start the Bears’ final preseason game at Tennessee this Sunday. Many experts and fans have petitioned for Fields to start but with the ferocious Aaron Donald first, you can understand Nagy’s decision. If the rookie were to be involved in L.A., we may have seen more hits like this…
Dalton, heading into his 11th NFL season, will provide experience, poise and stability at the quarterback position and with a tough early schedule, including the Rams and Browns in two of their opening three games, it’s understand why the Red Rocket was chosen.
Patience is a virtue and it may just be what Fields and the Bears need to succeed together longterm.
Justin Fields visits gun shot victim - makes his life
Scott Morrow was walking down the street when he was shot in the back…Morrow willed himself to live on, he couldn’t pass before witnessing the Bears’ great white hope.
Chicago’s new quarterback Justin Fields has endeared himself to Bears and football everywhere after a beautiful act of kindness toward a Bears fan who nearly lost his life last month.
Scott Morrow, a 41-year-old Chicago resident, was walking down the street when he was shot in the back. While being whisked away in an ambulance, Morrow willed himself to live on, he couldn’t pass before witnessing the Bears’ great white hope.
“I thought well…pretty much all of Chicago has gone our whole lives without even having great prospects for a franchise quarterback, I can’t die before seeing Justin Fields take the field,” Morrow told 670 The Score.
“I don’t plan to die before he’s a Hall of Famer.”
After hearing Morrow’s comments and learning about his accident, Fields and his parents visited Morrow at his home, with the rookie handing over a jersey to his new pal.
Morrow has a GoFundMe page set up which will help his recovery after losing his spleen and a kidney during the life-saving operation process.
If Fields plays anywhere close to the level of kindness and compassion he showed this Bears fan, he’ll live long in the hearts and minds of The Windy City faithful.
