This. They won in spite of Fields, not because of him. He was about as good as a backup QB, servicable.
I feel like folks are grading Fields on a curve because they really want him to do well, but damn. IF 200 yards, zero TDs, 3 sacks and 2 fumbles is your idea of quality QB play, then we need to adjust expectations. If this was KC, or Buffalo, Philly or San Fran…no way is this seen as acceptable play.
