If Justin Fields fails at QB, blame the entire Bears organization
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — On Thursday, Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy sat behind the same team-branded table on the same dais in the same room that Marc Trestman, Aaron Kromer, Adam Gase, Dowell Loggains, Matt Nagy and Bill Lazor once did. We’ve heard head coaches defend the work of their respective coordinators despite reasons to think otherwise, from Trestman sticking with Kromer to Nagy ultimately firing Mark Helfrich after two seasons. And we’ve seen players wear T-shirts in the locker room that said “bunker down” on the front and “no noise” on the back in an effort to rally around each other amid a media frenzy. The options aren't promising So it wasn’t surprising that Fields said what he said Wednesday at Halas Hall about his overthinking on the field and the Bears’ coaching place in it. Then it’s firing those who drafted Fields and putting him through a rebuilding season under Poles that saw the Bears trade their best two players on defense.
