I can't focus on all that right now. Like I said before, Justin's gonna have his time, and Justin's gonna have a great career. But right now, it's my time and so my focus is being on the best player I can be for this team and do everything I can to help this team win."It's certainly in Dalton's best interest to simply focus on his role with the team rather than looking over his shoulder towards the future of the franchise. While he'll do his best to zero in on his job,  Bud Dupree Jersey if Fields continues to impre s, it may become harder to ignore.  When will Justin Fields start for the Bears?
