As part of the journey to greatness for Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields, the Bears’ new coaching staff — led by offensive coordinator Luke Getsy — should do everything that former head coach and offensive “mastermind” Matt Nagy didn’t do. One of those things would be to have Fields roll out before he throws — because although Nagy didn’t call a lot of rollouts for Fields in 2021, Fields still was able to show that he was quite good when he did so.
When I wrote this year’s “Best NFL quarterbacks for every type of throw” piece, Fields’ success on designed rollouts was clear. In fact, he was perhaps the NFL’s best quarterback (admittedly, with a very small sample size) when he did it.
