Troy Aikman is finishing up an interview on The Score. Some interesting stuff.
Mentioned that the Bears have likely already made the decision on Fields, and he gets the impression they like him based on his discussions with Flus, Getsy, Poles. Said he felt they would move on from him early in the season, but has seen enough to believe he can be the guy at least for another year. Said he really likes Caleb Williams as well. Talked about how impatient the league is these days. Bradshaw took 5-6 years before he hit his stride, Aikman said it wasn’t until year 3 and he got Norv Turner and a better supporting cast when he turned the corner.
Said that Minnesota is a tough matchup because of the way they play. Seems to think Justin played pretty well but also acknowledged the fumbles. Said he really believes in a strong run game and that no one benefited from the run game more than him.
Mentioned that environment is really important. Mentioned that Brock Purdy probably wouldn’t have the same success if he were in other places. Says he understands how hard it is to be on the bottom since he was there the first couple years of his career. Good interview.
