NFL world believes Bears finally found their franchise QB in Justin Fields
The Chicago Bears have lost four straight games. But that doesn’t matter because the Bears have finally found their franchise quarterback in Justin Fields, who had his breakout game in a hostile environment on a prime-time stage.
Fields has taken some big steps forward over the last couple of weeks, but none more impressive than Monday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he showcased his poise, confidence and special skillset that shows why the Bears traded up to get him.
While last week Fields used his legs to best the 49ers defense, this week he used his arm, where he made some truly special throws in crunch time to open up the passing game in a way we haven’t seen it all season.
Trailing six points with less than three minutes left, Fields — with a smile on his face — marched his team 75 yards down the field for the go-ahead touchdown, a beautiful throw to Darnell Mooney.
Whether it was Bears fans, NFL fans, players or analysts, everyone recognized that Fields is a truly special talent and has a bright future in the NFL. And Chicago finally looks to have the franchise quarterback that’s eluded them for decades.
Justin Fields can ball.

If Justin Fields ever gets a real coach, he’ll be unstoppable.

Setting all else aside from last night’s game, the most important development was Justin Fields being the best player on the field for significant stretches of play. Kid is tough as nails and threaded several tight-window throws with perfect placement. Another big step forward.

The Bears have a quarterback. The rest is just noise.

Great throw by Fields! 💪🏾

"We lost the game but you are a little bit happy right now because of the growth you are seeing from Justin Fields."

Man I feel so F’ing bad for Justin Fields. Great game that the team couldn’t finish. Now get Nagy the hell away from the kid for the rest of the year.

Hats off to Justin Fields. He’s getting better every week. #Bears have a franchise QB. Now they just need to build up the franchise around him. Coaching staff needs to go; the lack of discipline and attention to detail cost Chicago the game.
— Bryan Perez (@BryanPerezNFL) November 9, 2021
Fields is special. He has IT. With everything & everyone against him, he proved that tonight on the biggest stage.
That said, this team could not be more undisciplined. This team has zero respect for its coach. He's a waste of space at this point.
Never stop tweeting #FireNagy

Bears went on the road to Pittsburgh, committed 12 penalties for 115 yards, and still could’ve won this game.
Justin Fields with 10 yards per attempt and a handful of gorgeous throws, all that matters in the end
— Brad Spielberger, Esq. (@PFF_Brad) November 9, 2021
Forget the loss, Justin Fields proved everything Bears fans thought he could be.
Learn. Grow. Future is bright for the QB.

Justin Fields was PFF’s highest-graded QB in Week 9…
Chicago’s got their QB1.

Justin Fields had more high-level throws on MNF than any rookie has had in a single game this year pic.twitter.com/9y6JvJFLw7

Justin Fields is starting to adjust to the speed of the NFL game. He’s playing with more urgency & it’s been fun to watch the last 2 games.
— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) November 9, 2021
"Justin Fields looked cool, calm, and collected. He looked like a veteran quarterback. He was throwing darts. He never flinched. He showed why he is going to be an excellent quarterback."
– Pro Football Hall of Fame RB LaDainian Tomlinson on NFL Network— Daniel Greenberg (@ChiSportUpdates) November 9, 2021
Justin Fields 🥶

Justin Fields was so electric last night, his highlights crashed the internet in just a matter of hours.
— Brendan Sugrue (@BrendanSugrue) November 9, 2021
If I'm the Bears, I'm pretty excited about what I saw from Justin Fields last night. That was the NFL's No. 1 D, and he was playing from behind all night. Showed poise throughout, and made big-time throws when needed to Kmet, Graham, Mooney and A-Rob.
Arrow's pointing up.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) November 9, 2021
I should be mad the refs screwed the Bears over. But I’m happy because Justin Fields is a stud and showed the entire world.

Man, Justin Fields. His ability to escape the pressure, dip to his non throwing arm side & toss a 🎯 w/ the flick of the wrist. The calmness & confidence on this play is otherworldly. The catch by Mooney…unreal! Let’s keep watching him grow! 🐻⬇️ #Bears pic.twitter.com/LxHEgH50o8
— Jarrett Payton (@paytonsun) November 9, 2021
The #Bears have a quarterback who is able to succeed despite poor coaching around him.
If you thought last night was good, imagine what Justin Fields can do with a better coaching staff.
— Jacob Infante (@jacobinfante24) November 9, 2021
Losing is never “fun” but I woke up this morning feeling pretty damn good about the #Bears future because of one player- Justin Fields.
The growth he’s shown over the past 2 games have been very encouraging & impressive. Especially when you consider his situation.
— Aaron Leming (@AaronLemingNFL) November 9, 2021
One of the worst officiated games you will ever see in the NFL. Don’t care about the result Justin Fields is the real deal. #PITvsCHI #DaBears
