Not a Fields hater or truther, but the similarities are interesting -
Trubisky
- 1,594 passing yards
- 13 TD’s, 2 rushing TD’s
- 6 INT’s
- 2 games with a QB rating of 120 or higher (vs the 31st and 27th ranked defenses)
- 3 games with a QB rating of 80 or lower

Fields
- 1,201 passing yards
- 11 TD’s, 1 rushing TD
- 6 INT’s
- 2 games with a QB rating of 120 or higher (vs the 31st and 32nd ranked defenses)
- 4 games with a QB rating of 80 or lower

Interesting comparison but I’d add a few caveats:
Fields has played 5.5 games, not 6
Fields is in year 3 - comparison would be 2019 Mitch
Missing comp % & sacks (58% vs. 62% | 14 vs. 23) -
Funny enough, rushing yards are similar (245 vs. 237)
Washington is not the 31st ranked defense (esp. not before Sweat & Young trade) - they’re ranked 18th by PFF currently; 16th pre-trade
