One of the most significant transactions of the NFL offseason was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ trade for Justin Fields, which will undoubtedly get even more attention once training camp and preseason play get underway. The Chicago Bears acquired a sixth-round pick—possibly a fourth in the 2025 NFL Draft—from the Steelers in exchange for the former first-round selection. Because of his ability to break off big runs, Fields is one of the most exciting quarterbacks in football, but one of his old coaches in Chicago had a lot to say about his weaknesses. One of Fields’ former coaches from Chicago had a lot to say in Tyler Dunne’s series on the turmoil of the Bears over the past few years on Go Long.
“Observe his gaze,” the unnamed instructor advised. He tries to see everything, but he is unable to see anything. It’s very difficult to watch with his eyes darting about. It’s simply awful football. Fields would be “A tremendous single-wing quarterback if that was still around,” the unnamed coach added.
