(670 The Score) As the Bears dropped to 1-5 with a loss to the Vikings on Sunday, the conversation surrounding them continued to shift to their future beyond 2023 rather than what they might accomplish the rest of this season.
And with that a familiar question looms for the franchise – who will be the answer at quarterback? Third-year quarterback Justin Fields has mostly struggled in 2023 and is now dealing with a right thumb injury, which has clouded his future with the organization.
With all of that in mind, the Mully & Haugh crew debated this question Tuesday morning: Who’s going to be the Bears’ starting quarterback in Week 1 of the 2024 season? Fields? USC quarterback and presumptive No. 1 draft pick Caleb Williams? Current Bears backup quarterback Tyson Bagent? Someone else?
Take a listen to what Mike Mulligan, David Haugh and executive producer Dustin Rhoades had to say in the audio player above. At this moment, Mully's best guess is that Fields will still be under center to open the 2024 season, while Haugh cast his vote for Williams. Rhoades believes it will be someone else entirely.
