Bears: Luke Getsy has encouraging reward for Justin Fields
Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy expects massive issues out of Justin Fields this yr.
Search for the Chicago Bears to sink or swim this season primarily based the rising rapport between beginning quarterback Justin Fields and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.
Along with hiring Kevin Warren away from the Large Ten, what this potential duo might do collectively is the factor that makes me probably the most excited in regards to the Bears. Fields has an actual shot to be a star on this league, whereas Getsy may very well be an NFL head coach sooner or later quickly. For any of this great things to occur, Fields should assert himself as a celebrity in his third professional season out of Ohio State.
Fortunately, it does look like Fields is doing all that’s required to be nice in Getsy’s eyes just lately.
Right here is what Getsy told the Chicago Tribune about Fields’s development and growth on Saturday.
“The place he was at the moment final yr to the place he’s now, I feel he’s simply light-years forward of the place he was. And I really feel like he has a ton extra to develop going ahead. So we’re excited to attempt to get one of the best out of him shifting ahead and preserve working towards the place we expect he can go.”
Needless to say that is solely the second yr Getsy and Fields get to work collectively in Chicago.

Whereas this all sounds nicely and good, all that issues is how the Bears play on the sector. Fields was not as careless with the soccer final season as he was throughout his rookie marketing campaign. Regardless of flourishing at Ohio State, Fields rapidly came upon that Large Ten velocity isn’t SEC velocity, and it actually isn’t NFL velocity. If and when the video games slows down for him, he might attain his potential.
Sure, having Getsy round offers him one of the best likelihood at success. In spite of everything, he was an enormous half in Aaron Rodgers profitable back-to-back NFL MVPs throughout his closing two years in Inexperienced Bay earlier than turning heel and linking up with rival Chicago. Whereas I are inclined to view Bears defensive-minded head coach Matt Eberflus positively, basic supervisor Ryan Poles has to indicate me one thing this yr.
Though I perceive the concept of accumulating property to construct a profitable crew round Fields, you would have had Will Anderson Jr., Jalen Carter or probably even Bijan Robinson. Buying and selling again from No. 1 to No. 10 might work out for the Bears, however that’s solely contingent on Poles drafting nicely and Eberflus’ workers making probably the most out of the substances he offers him. I belief Getsy greater than Poles.
I don’t assume the Bears shall be an terrible crew, however they really feel a yr away from being a yr away…
