Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy revealed that Justin Fields is working on his weaknesses this offseason and is maturing as the Bears hope, according to a report from the ‘Chicago Tribune. N’ last Sunday  ( superpg1688  )

The Bears traded up to select Fields as the 11th overall draft pick in the 2021 class before the 23-year-old showed his talent. It’s a good starting point to prove he can become a franchise quarterback, and as the Bears prepare to open off-season training to improve their new offense at Get. Xi said Fields has shown growth compared to last year’s off-season. 

‘Where he was last year and where he is now. I think he’s ahead of where he was last year,’ Getsy said. ‘And I feel like he’s got a lot more room to grow in the future. So we’re excited to try and bring out the best in him. And continue to work where we think he can go.’

The Bears finished the 2022 season with a 3-14 record, but Fields has made great strides in his second season. Especially in the running game, where the 23-year-old quarterback set franchise records by rushing for 1,143 yards and scoring 8 touchdowns.

However, Fields still has room for improvement. This is because he led the league in fumbles (16) and struggled with his pitching game. That includes throwing 11 interceptions and averaging less than 150 yards per game, and the 23-year-old quarterback is looking to improve on those numbers this off-season at Matt Eberflus Head. The Bears coach supports Getsy’s claims that Fields is showing noticeable improvement in key areas.

‘One part (needs improvement) is rhythm and timing. That’s Justin’s footwork,’ Eberflus said. ‘He really works at it. Very good in terms of throwing the ball quickly. Dropback Throwing moving ball throwing And he’s made huge strides in that area so far. on his own and is now entering phase two. (of the off-season) in that first week’ 

The Bears decided to move forward with Fields after striking a deal to trade the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft to the Carolina Panthers, adding 25-year-old wide receiver DJ Moore as part of the deal. such agreement They also extended Equanimus St. Brown’s contract and signed winger Robert Tonjan and selected winger Tyler Scott from this year’s draft. That’s another all-around weapon for the 23-year-old quarterback.

Moore has proven himself to be a reliable wide receiver after catching at least 1,000 yards in three seasons in his first five years in Carolina. Since entering the league as a first-round draft pick in the 2018 class, he has 888 receiving yards in the 2022 season, despite the Panthers having issues at quarterback. As for the Bears, no wide receiver has caught more passes. 550 yards last season

With rookie mini-camp underway and more experienced players reporting for team activities in the coming weeks. While there aren’t many opportunities for Fields to work with his new weapon, Getty believes that when Fields and Moore get the chance, They will build camaraderie and everything should flow smoothly from there.

‘A quarterback is as great as you can be or as great as an outside wing can be. If there is no relationship and connection between them It doesn’t matter,’ Getsy said. ‘The great thing is the experience DJ has had, playing with two or three different quarterbacks and a few different systems. You could tell he wasn’t alarmed by the new thing. That would be great.’

‘When the two can communicate with each other, body language, quick communication with words and so on. Everything will get better as we move forward.’
