For those asking for progress I am showing something. I understand we are all tired of this conversation but I want to hear the counter arguments.
Progress but not perfect. I think there is plenty of room to grow and he does have a fumble problem. I also think the scheme would destroy most QBs in the league.
Do I know if he is the guy? No I don’t know. But I am seeing growth.
And how many fumbles? :)
Bears will never get a chance to sign a rookie qb like Williams again. Mark my words, if they go with fields they will regret it forever.
Do fumbles. He’s gone
His QBR has regressed this year and it is generally an accurate measuring stick of elite QB play vs everyone else, as evidenced by the current rankings. On a side note, you can either believe Purdy is actually good or he’s an outlier.
I think average have a way to glossing over the real story.
Fields had two games where he threw for 8 TDs alone…
In those two games, he was 8 TD to 1 INT.
In the other 6 of his 2023 games, he is 4 TD to 5 INT.
Even in the Denver game, Fields disappeared in the 3rd and 4th quarter, losing a fumble that resulted in a Denver TD and he threw an INT with less that 2 min left in the game.
Yes, the defense gave up a shit ton of points, but damn…Fields just collapsed in the 4th quarter and helped is team lose.
So no, I do not think the average you put up show an accurate picture of who Fields is as a QB. This is why his W/L record actually matters.
