Justin Fields’ first NFL start has Bears fans concerned. Not about Fields being a bust. But about what might happen if Matt Nagy continues to hamper Fields’ development as a rookie and what it could mean for the future of the Bears franchise.
Chicago put up their worst offensive outing in 40 years, mustering only 47 yards of offense. But the Bears’ offensive struggles are nothing new for this Nagy offense, which has only gotten worse with each passing year.
Over the last three years, former Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky was the scapegoat for the offense’s woes. While Trubisky certainly was part of the problem, he wasn’t the biggest part, which was evident in Sunday’s loss to the Browns, where Nagy’s offense looked the worst it’s been in four years.
Only now, Nagy doesn’t have Trubisky to deflect most of the blame. Which has some fans and analysts sending their formal apologies to Trubisky for placing all the blame on him during the last few years.
Trubisky. Nick Foles. Andy Dalton. Fields.
Those quarterbacks aren’t the worst the NFL has ever seen, but there is a common denominator: Nagy.
