It seems like the consensus is, despite how dysfunctional the Bears offensive scheme may or may not be, Justin Fields isn’t an NFL ready quarterback. But does he have potential as a gadget player? He can run, he can throw the ball sometimes, hell he can probably block and could catch a short screen pass like Taysom. Yeah, I’m sure the Bears didn’t draft this guy to be a gadget player, and they’ll move on from him, but could he have a career as one?

Really, in general it seems like these run first super athletic QBs coming out of college have strong potential as gadget players if they don’t pan out as QBs. Is the NFL as a whole underutilizing people like this?
