S1E30 | How analyists are wrong about Justin Fields | NFL Draft trade scenarios for the Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears are in a unique situation as Ryan Poles and company head into the 2023 NFL offseason. With a large amount of salary cap space available and the first-overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, this team has the necessary tools to find sustained success. This does not require that the Bears trade Justin Fields. Instead, they need to build around him. Too many NFL analysts are missing the point when it comes to Fields' 2022 season and what his future ceiling may look like.Rob and Justin look at some stats that it appears many are overlooking to show just how high Justin Fields' ceiling truly is, while also proving TV and radio pundits wrong.Then, the two look into potential trade scenarios regarding the first-overall pick and some veteran wide receivers the team should inquire about.
