As you said, "Fields is one of those QBs that is dynamic against mid defenses or worse" Well, in 2023 the Bengals were 31 out if 32 in defensive rankings (embarrassingly. only ahead of Washington). Using your argument, he would flourish against a 2023 Bengal defense. And, I won't even go into the historical backup QB success rate against the Bengals. Fields is a tremendous back QB.

Unfortunately I live close to Chicago and have had to suffer through watching Fields attempting to play QB - he is BAD. The Stealers took a flyer (note the Bears couldn't even get a 2024 pick from anyone for Fields) that they could fashion him into at least a remotely usable QB.
