Fields’ impressive preseason had the Chicago Bears’ fan base roaring about the rookie quarterback.

Matt Nagy and the Chicago Bears are four games behind the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North. After Monday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago will have matchups against the Ravens, Lions, Cardinals, and Packers. Should the Chicago Bears consider going back to Andy Dalton for the rest of the season?
If the Bears lose on Monday night, Chicago should consider resting Fields. Matt Nagy stressed that Justin Fields was the future of the Bears. Chicago should start considering the physical and mental toll that the rest of the season can play on their rookie quarterback.
Justin Fields’ physical health should be the top priority for Chicago. If that means resting the rookie quarterback for the rest of the season, then that’s what needs to be done. As it sits right now the Bears are a long way away from making the playoffs. That should tell the Bears that resting Fields is the best option for not only his future but the team’s future as well.
