Why Bears QB Justin Fields' explanation over recent controversy makes sense and is believable

I didn't see the issue with his answer. In fact, I thought it was the best possible answer he could've given. Not only does it make sense, but I fully believe Fields. 

This is going to be the toughest offseason of Fields' football career. He's spent his entire life being the dude that everyone wants on their team. Even when he transferred from Georgia to Ohio State, he was a coveted player that essentially had his pick of transfer destinations. 

But now he has to publicly go through a pro franchise deciding whether or not they want him on the roster. And he has to helplessly watch while talking heads debate if he's good enough to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. Most of those debates, by the way, center on Fields' negatives. 

That's a tough place to be in as a human. And remember, there is a human element to all of this that it seems like we often forget about. I can totally understand Fields wanting to clear his mind of anything football related. The last thing he probably wants to do is open Instagram and see a Bears post which could instantly take him to a place of anxiety over the franchise's looming decision. 

Fields just wants some space from all the drama of the offseason. And since he's the one that's living it, he deserves the chance to have that space.
