    Justin Fields gets off to terrible on season

    Fans: I just want Justin to show progress

    Justin shows great progress with his 2 best weeks of football and QBS of 125 and 138, until breaking his thumb midway through Minnesota game

    Fans: Forget the past 2 weeks of progress, lets extrapolate his 1/2 game of mediocre football before getting hurt to the rest of his fucking career.

    Justin Fields is injured for several games, his come-back game against the Lions is very efficient with a QBR of 109, and has a ridiculous superstar-like 178 running yards, but late fumble and T/O kills potential gamewinning drive

    Fans: I know we just said all we wanted was progress, but lets just forget all the good things he did against Detroit and focus only on the mistake he made in the clutch. We need to see him put together a game winning drive for one.

    Justin Fields goes out and puts together a clutch, gamewinning drive.

    Fans: Yeah forget the clutch drive, lets focus on how he almost wasnt clutch before he was clutch.

    In his last 4 games, Justin Fields has a higher passer rating than – Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott and Patrick Hamomes just to name a few.

      And yet nobody in their right mind would take fields over any of these QBs. But it’s pretty telling you used 4 instead of 5 and you misspelled mahomes and put him twice

      Passer rating doesn’t take into account sacks or fumbles, which are two huge problem areas for Justin and a feature not a big given his preferred play style of big play hunting.

      It’s just not a composite statistic that’s very useful for comparing Justin to other QBs.

      Passer rating is an obsolete stat that no one cares about anymore.

      Fields is 21st in ANY/A. He’s not terrible like Zach Wilson, but he’s also a tier below league average guys like Carr and Mayfield.

      His PFF grade for passing last week was like 50.

      I don’t understand why so many of you have such low standards. I think Justin is a great dude and it hurts that he’s just not a good QB - but that’s the truth. There’s a decent case to be made that he’s not even as good as Trubisky.

      and has a ridiculous superstar-like 178 running yards

      Even if this were true (it’s not) if your QBs best attribute is his running, your QB sucks. This isn’t high school or a service academy.

      Fans: I just want Justin to show progress

      Running a lot against the Lions isn’t progress; we already know he can do that. Throwing to a wide, wide, WIDE open DJ Moore from a clean pocket isn’t progress. We already know he can hit receivers who are “Ohio State” open with no pressure.

      You’re super quick to throw out Passer Rating for games. What was Fields’ last night? 87.3. How about his Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt? 4.98. Not good. How about his “combined yards” that Fields fans love to scream about? 276. Even counting his rushing yards, which is something we don’t have to do for other QBs to try to prop them up, he still can’t hit 300 yards.

      Bottom line is: the one word that best describes Justin Fields is inconsistent. He can do most of the things a QB1 can do some of the time. He can’t do all the things most of the time.
