For as long as anyone can remember, the Chicago Bears have not had a competent quarterback. That could be changing.
The Bears traded up in Thursday’s NFL Draft in order to select Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields in the first round.

When the day first started, Bears fans were convinced that general manager Ryan Pace would find a way to screw up the draft. Now, fans have completely changed their mindset.
After the Bears selected Fields, social media erupted, with Bears fans celebrating the move in full-force.
Thank you Ryan Pace

Justin Fields won't play a game for months and this is already the closest the Bears have come to having a good quarterback since literally World War II

The Chicago Bears fans’ reaction to getting Justin Fields in the NFL Draft shows just how bad QBs have been in Chicago for a long, long time.
Sure, nobody knows if Justin Fields will really be the answer. We don’t even know if he’ll be the team’s starter come Week 1 in 2021. But the Chicago Bears finally got a quarterback who their fan base can rally around.
Live it up, Bears fans. Today is a good day in Chicago sports.
