First off, there were a lot of people who thought keeping Fields was the right move (even some “experts”). The Bears were 4-3 their last 7 with Fields and quite frankly, should have been 6-1 (and likely would have been without coaching screwups). No, Fields was definitely not perfect; but he looked like he was at least good enough (and IMO still could get
much better). You clearly disagree. Conclusions on Fields weren’t quite unanimous.
Secondly, I “nitpicked” Williams because sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t. And if I truly was nitpicking him at “every chance I got” I’d have made fun of his nails or his crying. I didn’t do that. Of course I’m going to scrutinize a potential #1 pick. Why wouldn’t you?
