The Chicago Bears finished with one of the worst records in the league. They ended their season with just 3 wins and a whopping 14 losses. However, they have a chance to turn it all around with the first pick in the upcoming draft. However, the organization remains in an interesting dilemma. In 2021, they drafted one of the best prospects in Justin Fields. Even though he had a tremendous start, the youngster started to feel the pressure of playing as a QB1 in his initial years in the league. This sparked some devastating rumors for Fields. However, all will be well for the young QB in Windy City as the team shared relieving news.
There has been some interesting speculation about what the Bears might do with their first-round pick. However, their possible moves for their pick might indicate that Fields will stay in the land of deep-dish pizza just a little while longer.

The young QB has been touted as a youngster with a lot of potentials. Despite some injuries and initial misgivings with the Bears, Fields is reliably being looked at as a franchise reviving talent. However, there was speculation that the Bears would be picking the latest unofficial number-one draft pick, Bryce Young. However, recent Bears’ activity might indicate otherwise. As per NBC Sports, the Bears might be leaning towards trading their first round first pick in the 2023 draft.
Furthermore, as this news went viral, fans themselves had something interesting to say about the close possibility of Fields being traded away for a complete rookie. They took to Twitter to share their thoughts after the news went viral.
Fans showcase a mixed bag of emotions for Fields
NFL fans had some conflicting opinions when it came to Fields and his status with the Bears. One fan spoke about how Fields is the only real superstar with the Bears.
Justin is the only superstar on the Bears. Just wait until we get him some real talent of offense and a better defense. Fields didn't lose them any games last year, the defense did. He's gonna light it up this year

Furthermore, one fan commented on how logically keeping Fields is a better option.
Even if you think Bryce Young is better than Fields, he’d have to be better than Fields PLUS whatever they could get for the first overall pick which will likely be 2+ first rd picks

Who is the great young QB they have? They should play him.
