ESPN predicts Justin Fields will lead NFL in interceptions in 2022 (2022 Season)

So much for the new front office and coaching staff of the Chicago Bears not believing in quarterback Justin Fields. General Manager Ryan Poles appeared on ESPN 1000 Friday and confirmed he and the entire Bears organization are “all in” on Fields in 2022 and beyond.

“We’re all in on Justin. I believe in Justin,” Poles said. “Our coaches believe in Justin. Like I said from the beginning, we’re going to set him up to succeed.”

Poles has come under fire this offseason for his apparent failure to do just that. He hasn’t added any established veteran wide receivers to the roster nor has he upgraded the offensive line beyond the free-agent signing of center Lucas Patrick. And even Patrick is more of an average starter.

“My level of belief is sky high,”

The 2022 NFL Draft was further evidence that Poles believes in his quarterback. Five of his 11 draft picks were offensive linemen and a wide receiver. If you add running back Trestan Ebner to that count, the Bears committed six draft picks to positions that directly impact Fields. That’s a hefty investment, even if they came on days two and three.

There’s nothing more Poles can do to change the bizarre perception. His actions prove he supports Fields, and now his words do too.

‘My belief is sky high with him,” he said.
