Justin Fields last 17 games

Fields has played solidly over his last 17 games, with two bad offenses around him in Chicago and Pittsburgh. I would sign him for a couple of years (at what most likely will be a reasonable rate, comparatively speaking) and see what he can do in 2025 as the full-time starter.

Fair enough. I am not pretending to be much more than a fan of the game who knows a thing or two. I just hold him in the opinions I expressed here - insane athlete, great guy, unpolished QB, weak with defenses, lacking that pinpoint passing skill.

Take it or leave it.

Cool. That's your take. That is fine. We all have our opinions.

I saw Fields go thru his progressions during games. No one is open at times. Then people on here stated he didn't go thru them fast enough. Then I saw the exact same thing from Russ and every other QB we have had since Ben. With our limited offensive philosophy. Our limited scheme. Our limited ability in play calling. Who is at fault? I am not saying Fields is the best at reading defenses. I just want some proof besides simply parroting what some say on here over and over. Dude has had 5 OCs in 5 seasons.

I'm just telling you what I saw. Then, others here said the same thing.

I'm not the biggest Russ fan either. We are in a bad spot concerning QBs. Having a lousy scheme doesn't help either. Just one of the things about the Tomlin era that drives me nuts.

Between Russ and Fields, let's sign Fields for cheaper. Either way the play book has to be upgraded, the O line has to be fixed, and some legit receivers are needed.

Get him a good full time QB coach.

Won't happen... so in lieu of that... I PAY Ben to sit with JF 4 hrs every day of training camp and go over every piece of film where the kid threw a pass, even his Bears days if I can get it, ESPECIALLY any where he threw a pick.

Although I FULLY agree with this concept……….. Good luck with BEN as he never film studied much while he was still playing.


Salute the nation

I also thought fields was too slow at reads. But he would make good use of legs and pull it down and gain yards.
I thought russ would be better. At first he seemed to be. But as the season wore on , i saw the same things from russ. But once he pulled it down he couldnt get out of there.

So now i dont like either of them. But fields has the bigger up side.

I don’t think either is the answer. But one might get Mike his non losing season…

Yeah. I keep seeing people saying this. Show me that he has an inability to read defenses....Russ didn't look any better in our offense. Russ had a bigger playbook afforded him. Russ was Vet SB
champion....didn't look any better than Fields reading defenses. One could argue Fields looked better.

Now you could be correct. He sucks. Just show me that he sucks....instead of just saying he sucks. I saw him in games going thru his progression as fast as Russ did. Or at least that is my opinion.

Are you kidding? There is a plethora of film from his first three seasons in the league that can be relied upon to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he has trouble reading defenses.

Fields reads might be on the slow side....I tend to lean that our system simply sucks for QBs. Just my take.

If you want a good time go watch film from the last five games. I debate that or smacking my head against a brick wall.

Watching them one time is enough for me.
