JUST IN: Another major setback for the Chicago Bears revealed

Enjoy Tyson Bagent’s underdog moment without superfluous Bears quarterback discussion, says Schrock

Schrock: Enjoy Tyson Bagent’s triumph over the odds without going overboard The initial discussion about the Bears quarterback aired on NBC Sports Chicago.

COLUMBUS — There is a Tyson Bagent. That does not imply that he is a “real deal” quarterback in the NFL. The jury is still deliberating on that; a decision may never be made.

However, Bagent, a rookie out of Division II Shepherd University who went undrafted, is as authentic as they come.

Oh, right. After helping the Bears defeat the Las Vegas Raiders 30-12 at Soldier Field, Bagent was asked if he was apprehensive to make his first NFL start. He said, “Yeah.

The majority of professional athletes would repeat the usual clichés from the sports world, such as putting on blinders to filter out the noise and concentrating exclusively on themselves.

That is not how Bagent is. He doesn’t hesitate to say that he felt anxious before the most important event of his young life. Who would not? He stated the emotion passed once he ran onto the field for warm-ups, so it is not an indication of weakness or that he is a worse player.

Using numbers Bagent was ordinary on Sunday. He was 21 for 29 for a total of 162 yards and one score. But for a young player whose previous start came against Colorado School of Mines to enter Soldier Field and appear to unlock sections while being unaffected by the situation and making no mistakes

After the victory, tight end Cole Kmet told NBC Sports Chicago, “He played really good football today.” I’m not sure of the statistics, but that QB play was excellent. Although everyone seems to be obsessed with fantasy points or other metrics, the quarterback performance was excellent and effective.

Bagent managed the Bears’ offense in exactly the way that offensive coordinator Luke Getsy desires. He was punctual and accurate. He threw with anticipation and timing. On the afternoon, he connected with seven different receivers while without turning the ball over. With Bagent in charge, the Bears’ offense maintained a lead and relied on a forceful run game that, in Kmet’s words, “kicked the Raiders’ ass.”

Most likely, you won’t find

The 12-yard scramble during which he used the pump fake was certainly clever. The Bears ran a terrific toss-back screen that was crucial in their 88-yard, time-consuming third-quarter drive. Then there was the third down pass, where Bagent maneuvered through a difficult pocket, climbed it, and hit Tyler Scott for the first down.

None of those plays will move the needle. They provided the vitality, however, that kept the Bears’ offense humming and the Raiders’ defense on its toes.

No matter the numbers, that’s noteworthy for a man who was playing West Chester College at this time last year.

“It was really impressive for an undrafted rookie,” Kmet stated.

Right guard Teven Jenkins praised Bagent’s skill and poise in the pocket, saying, “It was really good.” “He was very at ease back there. He was looking extremely excellent with the way he was moving around and avoiding pressure.

The Bears had faith that Bagent could lead them to victory on Sunday. He entered Halas Hall with a sense of assurance that was immediately apparent. They were certain that he would handle the situation well. His self-assurance assured his teammates that he wouldn’t fail them as long as they did their jobs and had his back.

Tremaine Edmunds, a linebacker, was asked how he first realized Bagent was more than just an ordinary undrafted rookie. He responded, “Just seeing his playmaking ability.” He was quite effective jogging and

In today’s sports environment, there is a reflexive urge to attribute broad, overarching views to everything that occurs.

In the instance of Tyson Bagent’s first start and victory of his career, that is not necessary. He complied with the coaching staff’s request, released control of the ball, and left the remaining work to Moore, D’Onta Foreman, and the Bears’ skill players.

Without a doubt, the Bears’ offense functioned efficiently. The Bears went 8-for-13 on third down and 3-for-3 in the end zone, had superb pass protection, and carried the load in the running game.

The cornerstones of Getsy’s offense are rushing the ball and having the quarterback release the ball on time and with accuracy. That Sunday, Bagent did. Honest to God, his

He has a quality about him. Put any name you like on it: moxie, it factor, or self-belief. Whatever it was, his teammates were aware of it and drank it up. Sunday saw the Bears play some of their finest football, which gave Bagent the chance to excel.

All well and good, but Sunday’s 30-12 victory wasn’t a proclamation about the Bears’ future, a sign of development, or the beginning of a quarterback controversy.

It’s acceptable to take in the Tyson Baggett spectacle without declaring Justin Fields to be the franchise quarterback of the Bears in the near future.

Tyson Bagent provided the Bears with the exact quarterback play they required for one Sunday (perhaps more), and he was a key component in bringing the uneven or nonexistent components of the offense to life.

That is a topic for a different discussion. There is no need to think about oneself or to look weeks or years into the future for one day.

It’s ok to be present in the moment for a single day.

Tyson Bagent, a Chicago Bears quarterback who defeated the Raiders and became a legend in Division II, is the rightful owner of that moment.
