Tyson Bagent secured his second career win on Thursday night against the Panthers, contributing to the Bears’ 3-7 record this season.

He completed 20-of-33 passes from under center, amassing 162 yards. Additionally, he gained 12 rushing yards. Most importantly, he managed to avoid the costly errors that plagued the Bears in their previous game against the Saints.

Former NFL quarterback J.T. O’Sullivan, who is the creator of “The QB School” YouTube channel, conducted a breakdown of Bagent’s performance in the game.

O’Sullivan critiqued various aspects of Bagent’s game, particularly highlighting his lack of patience in the pocket and his erratic footwork. Bagent’s tendency to pop up too high at the end of his pitch was also observed.

O’Sullivan also provided insight on Bagent’s missed throw to Tyler Scott, commenting on the rookie wide receiver’s open opportunity down the middle of the field. O’Sullivan noted instances where Bagent decided on a play pre-snap instead of making in-game adjustments.

On a different note, O’Sullivan acknowledged Cole Kmet’s impressive chip blocks in the game, adding a positive perspective.

In summary, O’Sullivan’s video highlighted both the positives and areas for improvement in Bagent’s game. While Bagent has strengths, he still has a ways to go before becoming a starting quarterback, especially considering his background as a Division II, undrafted player. Nonetheless, his journey is commendable, but when Justin Fields is ready to return, he will likely reassume the starting position.
