Chicago Bears News: Tyson Bagent’s shortcomings are made public
Tyson Bagent, a rookie quarterback, would have defied the NFL’s general consensus regarding undrafted quarterbacks if he had been successful during his tenure as the starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears.
It’s generally accepted that those quarterbacks have a ceiling that falls short of being an effective NFL starter.
That would have been the cause for many fans to exercise caution following Bagent’s NFL debut victory over the Los Angeles Raiders. Indeed, Bagent fulfilled his duties, and the Bears prevailed over the Raiders—who have since sacked their general manager and head coach—thanks to his performance.
The last two Chicago Bears games have demonstrated Tyson Bagent’s limitations as an NFL starting quarterback.
Nonetheless, throughout the last two weeks, we have witnessed Bagent’s limits as an NFL quarterback.
Bagent demonstrated his ability to carry out the duties often assigned to a backup quarterback by executing a game plan while leading the offence. Additionally, Bagent has demonstrated that he is not a quarterback who can play from behind at this point in time. Because he can’t rip it, Bagent has trouble making anticipatory throws across the middle of the field. Bagent’s arm strength is criticised not because he lacks the ability to throw the ball down the field, but rather because his ball lacks the zip necessary to make the intermediate throws that are required to cross the middle of the field.
The argument over whether Bagent should start at quarterback instead of Justin Fields is finished because Bagent was the cause of four of the Bears’ five turnovers in the team’s loss to the Bears on Sunday. Hopefully, Bears supporters will learn from this that just because Fields isn’t the team’s quarterback going forward, it doesn’t mean the next person will be either.
