I imagine Bears fans are most concerned about Fields’ development, and having him sit for a week, four weeks or half a season won’t stunt his growth. If the Bears force him into action before he’s ready, he could press, he could struggle, his confidence could take a hit, and that’s when bad habits can creep in. When you see a young quarterback start dropping his head in the pocket, bad things begin to happen. I’m not saying this would necessarily happen to Fields if he’s thrown in there for Week 1, but it’s a possibility and he still has a lot to learn. That’s why playing an entire half Saturday in Nashville will be a positive for Fields. The more experience he gets, the quicker he will develop.
