Former Bears Coach Says Andy Dalton Injury Ruined Justin Fields’ Career

The career of Justin Fields in Chicago was one filled with what-ifs. Perhaps the one that isn’t discussed enough is what would’ve happened if Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace had managed to stick around longer than his rookie season. They would’ve stayed committed to developing him and certainly not blown up the team like Ryan Poles did a year later. It is a fair question. There are multiple layers to it, but one former Bears coach believes everything started slowly rolling downhill after Andy Dalton got injured.
