Just curious with the Fields debate. Has there ever been a QB mid-way through their 3rd year or later with so much uncertainty develop into a reliable starting QB? Alex Smith comes to mind but obviously wasn’t good enough to keep his position.
a bunch.
Punting on Fields in favor of possibly really good QB prospects is one thing. Punting on Fields just because he’s not an all-pro QB halfway through his 3rd season is another.
Let’s see how the season plays out
It’s punting on fields because he’s a bottom 3 qb.
Let’s not pretend it’s because we’re figuring out if he’s great instead of Good. We’re figuring out is he average or terrible.
I don’t think there have been many QBs in Fields position. Which despite all the shit on this sub, makes him really hard to evaluate.
His rookie year he played under an outgoing front/office coach who used him as a last ditch effort to save themselves. As shown by his first start in Cleveland, they very clearly did not set him up for success.
His 2nd year the organization changes from top to bottom. Learns a new offense while simultaneously having one of the least talented offenses of the past 5 years.
The staff he’s under now is at risk of getting canned again because they’re simply underperforming with all the talent on the team. Not just Justin.
So there’s not many QBs who’ve been put into this spot. Despite all this, he hasn’t been really that bad. They’ve lost a lot, but fun fact: the average number of points by the winning team in the NFL is 26.6. Fields has led us to more than that on 6 occansions and lost the game. The defense rarely has helped him. His numbers this year have genuinely been average. He’s playing like a middle of the pack QB.
You wouldn’t know it from the constant idiocy on here but fields numbers and pff are actually improving this year. We’ll see if it continues
Which is why he has thr same 3.7% int rate as a rookie? Still has an atrocious completion %? Has the same 38% success rate as a rookie? Has a higher sack % than a rookie?
He’s up in yards and touchdowns. Which is dj Moore, not fields. While his legs have been neutered Which was the only thing he was great at last year.
I get you hate the guy but his passer rating and pff are climbing each year. I also think hes still fast lol
Continuing to be prove that anyone who uses passer rating is admitting they have nothing to actually say.
Here’s the qbs fields passing grade is at
#22 fields, #23 a rapist #24 Jimmy g #25 Sam Howell #26 Kenny Pickett #27 mac Jones
The real cream of the crop.
I said its improving not that its amazing, but youre looking to vent emotions not hear information, have a good night 😘
Warren Moon and Tom Brady of course.
Jared Goff
Josh Allen and Ryan tan a hill are the most recent
Justin fields (manifesting)
Recently would be Geno. He went from an awful situation with bad coaching and players to a good situation with one of the best coaches and supporting cast. Tannehill could be another but that falls into the same boat.
