And belive you mean Justin has been put through the ringer. A lame duck coach using a suspect offense that didn't work and then replace with an inexperienced and stubborn OC who couldn't or wouldn't cater to his signal caller's strengths? In his second year his team was torn down to it'd nuts n bolts for a rebuild with no quality receivers or offensive line? And learning new offenses back to back in his first two years, I'm not surprised he didn't put up all star numbers and is still figuring things out. But despite that his numbers have improved every single year. So Chicago doesn't really know what they have in Justin Fields and that's primarily there fault. Now that they have some semblance of stability no they have a proper chance to find out.
It's not that I firmly 100% belive that JF1 is the answer its more I don't believe CW13 is it either. The primary reason is at The Bears will have a plethora of draft capital to show for keeping their current guy and be able to rebuild faster and if Fields doesn't pan out they will be able to have an established team in place for his replacement.
Most importantly The Bears need to break the cycle of drafting a QB in a coaches lame duck year only to fire him and force his guy on the new coach. I'm calling it right now, Chi is not going to do well next year regardless if it's Fields or Williams and Eberflus is going to get sacked. Then Williams will be in the same boat as all his predecessors: Fields, Trubisky, and Grossman. The coach who drafted them gers fires and a new guy comes along who wants to hitch his wagon to a signal caller of his choosing. At least if they keep Fields and Eberflus together it will be a clean break and the new coach and QB will be on the same time line. This is the reason Chicago has always struggled in mediocrity.

This is where I am at. I think they should go Harrison Jr. If fields flops this year with him. Then you are high draft spot again and get a new QB with talent already in place.
