Strange Possible Justin Fields Conflict Was Revealed in a Press Conference by Matt Eberflus
It is not desirable to become overly fixated on conspiracy ideas. Even so, it’s difficult to ignore the strange feeling that Justin Fields is experiencing. In the game against Minnesota last month, the quarterback dislocated his thumb. Tests showed no break, although early predictions suggested he might be back in time for the New Orleans game. There were even whispers that the game was the intended target. The game, well, came and went. Fields was inactive. It was evident from that that he would have four extra days to prepare for Thursday night’s home game against the Carolina Panthers. Then some news leaked out. Fields wasn’t expected to play. Matt Eberflus added to the bizarreness of it all.
Regarding the matter, the head coach of the Bears was less forthcoming than normal. Although he declared backup Tyson Bagent would get the start, he left open the chance that Fields would still be able to play. His one constant was that the quarterback still hadn’t been cleared. A perplexing two minutes of audio revealed that Eberflus was unsure of Fields’ current situation. Either something else was going on, or the thumb was worse than they had anticipated.
Fields may not be able to play, according to Matt Eberflus.
Rumours regarding these circumstances are never reliable. Nevertheless, a source told SM that GM Ryan Poles’ opposition is the reason Fields hasn’t returned yet. He wants to make a change at quarterback, so he is putting off the QB’s return as long as possible. Poles is aware of the events that occurred in 2019 four years ago. It appeared as though Mitch Trubisky had lost command of the starting lineup. Then, up against some subpar opposition, he played brilliantly and won four of the final five games. Chicago entered the playoffs underhandedly as a wild card. That kept him in his job, and instead of beginning anew, the Bears decided to go after Nick Foles as competition.
If they had given up, they might have selected Jalen Hurts in the next off-season. Poles does not want to offer Fields a last-minute chance to save himself. He’s prepared to go on. Over the past month, sporadic reports of this have already been received.
It could clarify why Matt Eberflus was unable to provide a clear explanation for the situation. That or the easier explanation, which is that the head coach still lacks media savvy, applies. In short, Fields is running out of time to save a sinking ship, and Bagent will start at least one more game.
