I’ve been thinking about this a lot and finally decided to look up the actual numbers. Since we drafted Justin Fields in 2021 our starting QB W-L records are:

Trevor Siemian 0-1

Nathan Peterman 0-1

Nick Foles 1-0

Tyson Bagent 2-2

Andy Dalton 3-3

Justin Fields 6-26

It’s kind of ridiculous that over the past 3 years we are 6-26 when Fields starts while being 6-7 when he doesn’t start. I know wins and losses aren’t completely on the QB, but this is a huge disparity

I’m a big fan of Fields. I think he’s a good leader and dynamic runner. He’s got a strong arm. But he still lacks as a passer. I feel like too often he doesn’t get the ball to open receivers and that he too often looks to run while eschewing the pass

And just for comparison, Trubisky was 29-21 through 4 years as a starter

I know we have other issues, but I think I am ready to move on from Fields. Probably want to move on from Eberflus too. I’m not sure about Poles, but I’m leaning towards keeping him. I feel like we have some good, young talent. Just not at QB

    What is the hot trade market? I haven’t heard any rumors at all. Genuinely curious what you’ve heard.

    I do take offense to your meatball comment and insinuation that we don’t deserve a good QB. I’m not shitting on Fields. I want him to become our true franchise QB. But I’m doubting he will be. Thinking his 6-26 record s not good enough isn’t remotely a meatball take
