Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that Ryan Poles wants to do right by Justin Fields when there is no evidence of this statement being true. Secondly, the author quotes Ryan Poles saying he will know as soon as possible about his decision at quarterback but then states that it takes two teams to figure out a trade and getting to know draft prospects' personalities are among the most important things for him. This contradicts each other and shows deception in stating one thing while implying another.

Bias
(85%)
The author is biased towards the idea of trading down for a different quarterback. He mentions that he wants to figure out the first half of his quarterback situation soon and do right by Fields. This suggests that he may be leaning towards trading down rather than keeping Fields as their starting QB.
Bears fans haven’t seen many surgeons or artists under center, though there have been some Dr. Nick Rivieras and a lot of finger-painters and adult coloring-book enthusiasts.
He said, “Tomorrow.”
He talked about alternate timelines like he’s in a Marvel movie.
“No, I would love to know as soon as possible,” Poles said.
Poles answered some questions about cornerback Jaylon Johnson (he wants Johnson back, and they’re talking), but most of our questions Tuesday morning were about the big picture.
Poles said his phone was getting a workout, though he didn't confirm or deny it’s in the best shape of its life.
Talking to Williams, rather than parsing rumors and thought experiments, seems like it will help them figure out what makes this guy tick and if he can handle one of the most cursed jobs in sports.
“We understand that draft picks are just opportunity,” Poles said. “You have to capture that and you have to be right.”
