In December, Bears wide receiver DJ Moore expressed his desire for Justin Fields to remain the team’s starting quarterback, and his stance remains unwavering as the NFL Scouting Combine approaches in February.
As speculation swirls around potential quarterback prospects, including Caleb Williams, Moore remains steadfast in his belief that Fields is the superior option. Speaking on NFL Total Access, Moore reiterated his confidence in Fields, asserting that none of the draft prospects compare to him at the moment.
Moore’s allegiance to Fields is well-founded, considering the remarkable synergy they displayed last season. With Fields at the helm, Moore enjoyed a career-best year, leading the Bears in receptions, yards, and touchdowns.
“I still don’t think they compare to Justin right now,” Moore told the NFL Media.

Reflecting on their successful partnership, Moore highlighted the seamless transition he experienced after joining the Bears and establishing rapport with Fields during offseason workouts. This chemistry translated into on-field success, making Moore’s transition to Chicago a smooth one.
Despite facing quarterback instability throughout his career, Moore has consistently delivered impressive performances. Having endured numerous changes at the QB position during his time with the Panthers, Moore likely has little appetite for yet another rebuilding period.
With his stellar track record and a burgeoning connection with Fields, Moore’s endorsement of the young quarterback carries significant weight as the Bears navigate their quarterback situation.
