Yeah. People keep conflating Chris Collinsworth being dumb as gently caress with it being a narrative.

Fields and Bagent both suck, but Bagent just sucks more because his arms weaker and he can't run.

Collinsworth was dumb. It's dumber still to think collinsworth has ever had a good opinion or set the talking points for nfl fans.

There absolutely was a small but vocal contingent of Bears writers and fans that were part of that narrative though. They were…who you’d expect.

Announcers talk to the coaches before every game, they get their narratives straight from the source. I have a hard time believing Collinsworth said that on TV without the Bears staff wanting it out there, or at least letting it slip during a meeting.

Whether they were trying to light a fire under Fields or just saying dumb poo poo, it didn't come from nowhere.

Chicago sports media assumed that Luke Getsy fed Collinsworth some of those narratives and...maybe. But if I find almost completely unbelievable that a coach, any coach, actually thinks Tyson Bagent was a better option than Justin Fields. I dunno.
