Back to the actual preseason…
Look, I know this statement is precisely the kind of garbage that gets puked out by 14-year-olds on Reddit and some of the hackiest sports talking heads (who may be the same people), but I still need to put it out there.
Tyson Bagent looks like this season’s Brock Purdy. This dude looks like HIM, and while I desperately hope that Fields stays healthy and takes a massive step forward as a passer, if he misses a bunch of time…
Yes, I know it’s just 2 preseason games and Bagent isn’t even playing against the 2s, let along the 1s, but he looks like he has “it”. Right now, he’s the most poised and the best passer on the Bears roster. I’m fully prepared to be mocked for this in 6 weeks but holy crap. If the Bears try to get him onto the practice squad, he’s gone. He definitely should be the #2 ahead of PJ Walker come week 1.
