Bears quarterback Justin Fields made waves this past week when he said coaching was one of the reasons for his “robotic” play vs. the Buccaneers as he described it. His comments evoked quite a reaction from the NFL world and he would later walk them back, but during the chaotic media frenzy he apologized to both offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko for his comments, according to ESPN.
It all started Wednesday when Fields was talking to reporters and said that he is thinking too much on the field and needs to play more off of instinct. When a reporter asked why he’s thinking too much, he said “ could be coaching.”
“They’re doing their job when they’re giving me what to look at, stuff like that,” Fields said Wednesday. “But at the end of the day, I can’t be thinking about that when the game comes.”
