I totally agree. I think Justin Fields has Jalen Hurts type of potential meaning that if they could actually get some offensive talent around him - a good offensive line and some actual NFL receivers - I think it's possible that he could take his game to the next level. Hurts had arguably the best offensive line in football, two outstanding receivers in Smith and AJ Brown, a great tight end in Goddert, and decent group of running backs.
That's so much more than what Fields had at each and every position. Given the Bears' cap space, draft capital, and if Fields can take a big step forward in the pass game with more talent they could potentially turn this around pretty quick.
