Yahoo Sports NFL on Tyson Bagent
From the article
The Bears will almost certainly benefit from putting Bagent into the lineup given his ability to contribute to the running game with his fresh legs, operate more effectively on rollouts and also stretch the field given his arm is much stronger than Keenum's.
STACKED’s take
Bagent's arm strength and mobility should expand Johnson's offense; unfamiliar backup advantage.
The source argues Tyson Bagent should start against the Jets because his physical skill set—including superior arm strength compared to Keenum and greater mobility—should broaden Ben Johnson's play-calling options and open downfield windows. Bagent hasn't started an NFL game since his rookie year (2-2 record subbing for Justin Fields) and never under Johnson, making game reps valuable for his development. The source notes that six quarterbacks who started games this season despite not being their team's Week 1 starter are collectively 6-0, suggesting unfamiliar backups benefit from limited film. Bagent should benefit from more than a full week of prep since returning from concussion protocol, further advantaging the Bears against the Jets.
