These coaches know a shit ton more about football than you (the average bears fan). Fields is real. The coaches have a learning curve to deal with such a dynamic athlete.
What I keep going back to are the teams that in the playoffs every year and going far in the playoffs without elite QB play. They all focus on team building first through the draft and then they get the QBs that drop to them.
The Chiefs before Mahomes. The Eagles before Hurts. San Fran before Purdy. The Ravens before Lamar.
The blueprint is there. Keep collecting talent in the draft and let the qb drop to you because you have a boatload of picks and can do it.
This is why I think the Bears keep Fields and trade back. It allows them to further stack their team and take a Qb that drops to them if Fields doesn’t pan out in year 4 or his 5th year extension year.
We don’t have to rush into a qb pick this year. We can be patient with Fields, stack the team and then ounce in 25 or 26 draft if a qb drops to us.
I think this is the approach that will keep this team competitive year in and year out. That’s all I want. Especially with how many injuries there are on every team at every position nowadays.

He played well against one of the best teams in the league.... Full stop.
He didn't play perfectly. But he played well, ran the offense competently... didn't look lost. Got through his progressions.... got first downs and made some plays....
He's NFL quality starting QB.. might not be for the bears if they end up with the first or second pick... but he'll 100% get a shot somewhere and I really don't wanna see what he'd do against this defense with their piss-poor tackling.

These OCs just love to prove how clever they are and end up showing the opposite. I want my next OC to be a guy that didn’t ride the coattails of a hall of famer.

I agree with those who have said, Justin isn’t THE problem but he is A problem. However, NFL history is filled with cases of QB who were considered busts and either getting better coaching or going to another team with better coaching unlocked their talent. We’re talking guys like Drew Brees and Steve Young. HOF. Steve Young won 5 games his first three years in Tampa. Everyone thought it was a joke when Bill Walsh traded for him. Brees got benched in the middle of his third year. Norv Turner became the HC in his fourth year and Brees started playing like the HOF quarterback he became.
So my question is why not get a guy in here that can actually develop a QB and find out if that’s the problem or not? THE PROBLEM is coaching. Go and look at Tim and JT videos. The blocking schemes are nightmares. At one point they had 3 guys pulling leaving the DT completely unblocked. Another asked Scott to block Hutchinson. On defense, their best pass rusher was sitting on the bench during the last drive.
Let’s get the coaching fixed first and then see what happens. If all the HC prospects don’t want to deal with him, then you know where you stand. Forget the money aspect. He’s cheap next year and even if they pick up his option it’s not outrageous. Let’s just not throw the baby out with the bath water. If Fields doesn’t work, they’ll be another QB coming the next year.
I mean, Fields isn't perfect. But a lot of the offense is pretty subpar.
