I have no worries about Andy Dalton, especially if our defensive line plays the way it did last week.

Fields is also a mobile QB, so the front seven will need to play solid,fundamentally sound football and stick to their assignments. Otherwise, Fields could hurt us with his running as well as his arm.
Yeah, if I was the Bears I would start Fields. It would give them a much better chance against us than Andy.
Nothing against Andy, he just looks a lot like a worse Cousins at this point in his career.
