Fans slam Chicago franchise as Tyson Bagent struggles vs Chargers on SNF: "Bears already ruined another career in 2 games"

Chicago Bears v Los Angeles Chargers
Fans slam Chicago franchise as Tyson Bagent struggles vs Chargers on SNF

Tyson Bagent could not lead the Chicago Bears to a win against the Los Angeles Chargers as they lost 30-13 on Sunday.

Much has been said about the backup quarterback, who has showed some flashes of brilliance. However, as the Bears defense failed to contain Justin Herbert and the Chargers' offense, the pressure was too much on a quarterback starting his second full game.

Tyson Bagent threw two interceptions and no touchdowns, and much will be said about his failures. However, many fans feel that the quarterback, who scored a rushing touchdown, was failed by the Bears organization and coaching team.

Fans skewered the Chicago Bears for putting too much on Tyson Bagent's plate. There have been indications that they might be looking at a quarterback competition between him and Justin Fields. However, his latest performance showed that both quarterbacks are united in their struggles this season in getting the Chicago offense going.

Justin Herbert rebounds for Chargers with imperious performance

While the quarterback situation with the Chicago Bears still in a flux, the Chargers have their franchise quarterback in Justin Herbert. However, many feel that he has underachieved, given his talent. That's especially true this season, as he has been uneven, not helped by an injury to his non-throwing hand.

However, against the Bears, he was nearly perfect, throwing for 298 yards and three touchdowns. There were no interceptions as he finished with a 122.7 passer rating, in what was an encouraging performance.

Meanwhile, the Bears have a decision to make. They could easily end up with the top couple of picks in the next years' draft holding both their and the Carolina Panthers' selections.

If Justin Fields or Tyson Bagent can show themsevles to be their quarterback for the future, they could build around them. If not, then another player like Caleb Williams might need to be picked.

However, as many fans have highlighted above, the dysfunction afflicting the Bears stretches beyond their quarterback position. For a long time, Chicago has not had a plan to pull in the same direction. Without stability in the coaching and executive boxes, any rookie player is expected to struggle.
