In an appearance on 670 The Score’s Mully & Haugh Show the day after Chicago’s loss to Cleveland, Moore was again asked if he understood the speculation that has been swirling around the team’s quarterback position. The Bears WR doubled down on his support for Fields in his answer.

“Just being here for the whole season and offseason, I’ve seen him grow, and I can see where he’s headed towards,” Moore said about Fields. “I don’t really see how they can say that he’s not the quarterback for the Chicago Bears right now. He’s been doing everything that’s asked of him, keeping us in games. His growth has been phenomenal. The outside noise, I’ve heard it for two weeks now. … At the end of the day I’m standing by what I said.”

Moore knows he may not have a say in the matter, however. “If they gotta do it, they’ll do it,” he said about whether the team will draft a new QB to replace Fields.

It’s easy to understand why Moore enjoys playing with Fields, as the Bears WR is having the best season of his career. Moore currently has 80 receptions for 1123 yards, and seven touchdowns, which is tied for his career high. Considering there’s still have three games left to play this season, his career highs in yardage (1,193 yards) and receptions (93) should be easily attainable.

Undoubtedly, the chemistry Fields and Moore possess has been fun to watch. But Chicago’s position in the current draft order could be what ultimately dictates Fields’ future. The Bears have the No. 1 and No. 5 overall picks at the time of publication. The appeal of drafting a rookie with potential on a far cheaper contract could prove too attractive.

Fields has started nine games this season, missing four games due to a thumb injury on his throwing hand. He has a 63.5 completion percentage, throwing for 1,976 yards, 14 touchdowns and eight interceptions (85.6 rating).
