In the year 2024, sports fans on social media are about as reactionary as possible. Today I’ve seen comments such as:

“It’s so obvious that Fields is better” “Fields was never the problem” “Should’ve drafted Joe Alt”

Obviously it’s ridiculous to come to this conclusion 2 weeks into Caleb’s career and even more so to proclaim it to the entire world. The thing is: I’ve seen a variation of those 3 sentiments with at least 2-3k likes. Am I missing something or was every top reply/comment to anything related to the bears vs packers game week 18 of last year about Justin’s “inability to read the field” “tendency to hold the ball too long” “just not a very good NFL qb” blah blah blah

I guess my question is: is this just social media giving a small segment of fandom too much voice or are people really just this reactionary and even more so because it’s a bears qb? I just find it really hard to believe that most people are being this reactionary TWO GAMES into Caleb’s career. There’s a world where Caleb wins Roty and we literally forgot this game even happened
