Four years ago, this kid was playing high school football.
He was all hyped up by the media and fans, and that served to raise expectations to an unrealistic level. I just don't think that 9 games into a rookie season, and with precious few exhibition game snaps, we ought to be passing judgment on this kid.
He is facing the same fate that all recent highly touted Bears QBs have faced: a mediocre at best O line. It boggles my mind how the Bears keep making the same mistake over and over again for what seems like DECADES.
For the record, I was among those who wished the Bears had kept Fields, traded down, acquired more picks, and used them to draft and/or trade for talented O line players to protect him.
