Bears 2023 QB review: Justin Fields leaves big questions, not enough answers

The Chicago Bears wrapped the 2023 season with a 7-10 record, which included an encouraging 4-2 finish. The offseason is in full swing, which has already included some big decisions: Sticking with head coach Matt Eberflus, the firing of offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and the subsequent hiring of new OC Shane Waldron.

For the second straight year, the Bears have the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, and they have an important decision to make at quarterback — run it back with Justin Fields or draft Caleb Williams, who many believe to be a generational talent. It could very well be the most important offseason in recent franchise history.

Here at Bears Wire, we’re going position by position through the 2023 Bears and grading every player. We’re kicking things off with the position that’s already the talk of the offseason: quarterback, where Fields made major strides in his third season (but it still might not be enough to keep him in Chicago).
