This isn’t just the right call. It’s the only call for Chicago. Fields’ ceiling is way higher than Andy Dalton, and there’s nothing the former Bengals QB can do that Fields can’t already.
Sitting behind a veteran makes sense if the veteran is capable of opening up the playbook more.
With Fields and Dalton, the latter actually keeps the playbook closed to a degree because he’s not a great athlete.

Fields is a freak of nature athlete with a powerful and accurate arm. When you have a guy like him on the depth chart, you simply have to unleash him and let him get to work.
That’s what the Bears are doing going forward with Fields.
