He did everything he was supposed to do and had us with a 12 point lead with 4 mins left, and the defense went and gave up two tds. Also one of our wrs dropped a game clinching pass after he had fumbled earlier in the game. And he did it all without the thumb in his throwing hand being one 100%. There is nothing a Caleb Williams or Drake Maye could do to elevate this team with all the holes and terrible coaching. Poles will most likely take a QB just to cover his ass and give himself a few more years but it will set us back a few more years and maybe longer if they bust l.
We didn’t lose cause of Justin but we didn’t win cause of Justin either.
We never should have been in that position in the first place BUT our series between the Lions touchdowns he needed to convert. The first play call up the gut was bad but the second run was an option and you could see Barnes not bite and wait out to his left and would’ve had a clear shot at Fields. On 3rd down he had DJ wide open crossing Fields left. Then on the final play he fumbles.
Yes he shouldn’t have been in that position to begin with but good QBs find ways. Fields 10 4th quarter TOs in close games and one game winning drive, not to mention a career average 165 yards per game aren’t going to get you far in the NFL.
I don’t see how a new coach can resist taking a QB if he gets a choice of Maye or Williams.
