Chicago Bears’ Bold Prediction – Justin Fields Makes The Pro Bowl
Few quarterbacks were more electrifying last season than Justin Fields, who showed flashes of superstar potential in the second half. Fields used his electrifying mobility to keep the Bears in games despite a subpar supporting cast, raising hopes that he can lead them for the foreseeable future.
GM Ryan Poles did a good job upgrading Fields’ supporting cast in the offseason by getting him another playmaker with D.J. Moore coming over in the trade for the top pick in the draft. First-round pick Darnell Wright will also help bolster Chicago’s leaky offensive line, giving Fields more time to beat teams with his arm in addition to his legs.
A leap forward from Fields could help him reach his first Pro Bowl, especially given the dearth of top quarterbacks in the NFC. With Tom Brady entering retirement and Aaron Rodgers now playing for the Jets, there’s no reason to believe that Fields can’t become one of the three NFC quarterbacks in the Pro Bowl Games with a better statistical season.
Pro Bowl quarterbacks don’t usually come from Chicago with Mitchell Trubisky earning the Bears’ last nod for a passer in 2018. Fields has much more upside than Trubisky and should prove that he belongs among the game’s elites with a tremendous season.
