WR Allen Robinson dubbed Bears’ projected MVP in 2021

Allen Robinson has been the most consistent offensive player for the Bears since his arrival in 2018. While Chicago’s offense has been among the worst in the NFL, Robinson has managed to thrive, posting back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with inconsistent quarterback play.

There’s no doubt that Robinson has earned a contract extension with the Bears. And yet, he’s about to play out the 2021 season on the franchise tag after Chicago tagged him earlier this offseason rather than coming to an agreement on a contract extension.

Despite the contract dispute, Robinson showed up to mandatory minicamp and will report to training camp on time. And there’s no question he’ll once again be a big contributor for the Bears in 2021.

NFL.com’s Dan Hanzus dubbed Robinson the Bears’ projected MVP for the 2021 season, which is a pretty easy assumption given how Robinson has thrived in Chicago’s poor offense.

Justin Fields is an exciting prospect, Khalil Mack is a perennial Pro Bowler and David Montgomery performed like a star down the stretch last season, but Allen Robinson is the player most likely to deliver an MVP season for the Bears in 2021. The eighth-year veteran signed his franchise tag in March and will be playing for a new contract this season. The man is QB-proof — perhaps the most valuable trait any wideout can possess. Playing with a coterie of ham-and-eggers behind center, Robinson has averaged 100 receptions for 1,200 yards the past two years with 13 total touchdowns. Andy Dalton is a capable hold-the-fort QB who provides higher upside than former Bear Mitchell Trubisky or current backup Nick Foles. Fields is a wild card with monster upside. With typical Bears QB play, Robinson will continue to deliver like a star. But with a legit QB throwing him the ball? Robinson can go to the next level.

Robinson’s success over the last couple of seasons has been impressive. But when you factor in that Robinson hasn’t played with a good quarterback since joining the league seven years ago.

With the drafting of Justin Fields, the Bears finally have a potential franchise quarterback in place who could very well be the best quarterback Robinson has played with. And Robinson is the perfect receiver for your young franchise quarterback.

Now whether a contract extension gets done remains to be seen. But whenever Robinson is on the Bears, he’s going to produce.
