Yahoo Sports NFL on Tyson Bagent
From the article
Williams was replaced by backup Tyson Bagent, who Johnson has considered one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the league (and therefore starter quality) and has earned the respect of his teammates. Bagent led a two-minute drill into the red zone before Dallas Turner sacked him on the game's final play.
STACKED’s take
Bagent considered starter-quality by Johnson; teammates express full confidence in backup.
Bagent replaced Williams as the Bears' backup quarterback and entered an emotional environment with the game in the balance. Head coach Ben Johnson has considered Bagent one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the league and therefore starter quality. Bagent led a two-minute drill into the red zone before being sacked on the game's final play. Teammates expressed confidence in his abilities: Odunze said Bagent is 'as ready as it gets' and ready each week for his opportunity; Loveland called him 'a heck of a player' and 'a baller' who 'really knows how to play quarterback'; Bradbury noted 'we have all the trust in him' and praised his ability to enter an emotional environment, saying 'He's been in that position before.'
