O.J. Simpson predicts Justin Fields will lose Bears QB1 job to Tyson Bagent - “You will be seeing him before the season's over” 

Justin Fields' days as the starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears are numbered, according to O.J. Simpson.

After an underwhelming first two seasons to start his NFL career, Fields has continued to struggle through the first two games of the 2023 season. He's completed 40 out of 66 passes for 427 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. The Bears are currently 0-2.

Per Jay Glazer, the Bears remain undecided on committing to Fields as their long-term quarterback.

Former NFL running back O.J. Simpson thinks that if Fields continues to play the way he has, then he will lose the starting job by the end of the season.

He predicts that undrafted rookie free-agent quarterback Tyler Bagent will take Fields' spot.

"If Fields continues to think and not react, they got a guy named Bagent, their rookie that I predict you will be seeing him before the season's over. Even though I wish Justin Fields the very best, but this kid Bagent just like Brock Purdy, he's played a lot of college football at quarterback and he's ready to be a pro quarterback."

Bagent accumulated the most passing yards in NCAAF history (17,034) while playing five seasons for the Shepherd Rams.

Justin Fields called out the Chicago Bears coaching staff for his struggles

Justin Fields put more pressure on himself as well as the Chicago Bears organization this week.

After a disastrous week for the Bears that saw their defensive coordinator, Alan Williams, resign, Fields was asked about his struggles and he pointed his finger at the coaching staff.

“You know, could be coaching, I think. At the end of the day, they are doing their job and giving me what to look at, but at the end of the day, I can’t be thinking about that when the game comes. I prepare myself throughout the week and then when the game comes, it’s time to play free at that point. Thinking less and playing more.”
