The Chicago Bears haven’t exactly been successful as of late, but that may all be a thing of the past sooner rather than later.
It seems like they’ve already found the most important piece an NFL franchise could look for, which is a quarterback to build around.
Despite the early doubts and criticism, Justin Fields finally looks like the real deal, which is why Mike Greenberg of ESPN took some time on “Get Up” to elaborate on why he believes he’s going to be the next superstar quarterback in the league.

For starters, Greenberg stated that people seemed to have forgotten about the fact that he was the best high school prospect in his class, even ahead of Trevor Lawrence, and that he was spectacular and led his team to back-to-back postseason appearances in college.
He later pointed out the fact that he had the fourth-highest QBR in the league since Week 7 last season, trailing only Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes, which is why the Bears didn’t use their No. 1 pick to draft his replacement.
Greenberg stated that Fields is a much better prospect than both Allen and Hurts were, and they all went through some major growing pains before finally breaking out, which is the very same thing that could happen with Fields.
Last but not least, the Bears will have a revamped offensive line, and gave Fields a legit No. 1 weapon in D.J. Moore.
