I like to look at rookie contract QB’s in this way because it shows their most recent full length season, Will continue to do this ever game until the end of the year.

Do not take this as an endorsement for or against keeping him.

The last 17 games tracker:

The Good: His last 17 games he is at 4200 total yards and 33 total td’s, 93.2 rating.

The bad: 5 fumbles lost and 12 picks. About a 2:1 TD to turnover ratio. Sacks: 62, about 3.5 per game.

His first 17 games:
Justin Fields has a passer rating of 73.2 with 2,549 yards, 10 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 17 games in his first 17 games in his career.

    Only place he really needs to show improvement is his time to pass. It’s dead last in the league and it was his main issue coming into the NFL and it’s still his issue now. You can look at stats all you want, but they won’t always tell the whole story.

      And fumbling, and getting the ball out quicker, and reading defenses, and throwing between the numbers, and keeping his eyes downfield…

      I mean, how many times do we seen him run backwards out of a pocket and avoid a sack to then throw the ball? Those are 6 second plays. (Generally) No one else avoids sacks this way. That stat needs a giant asterisk

        He could literally just hit the check down most of those times.

        Stop apologizing for him. We literally saw an undrafted rookie zip the ball around, not saying he’s a better qb, but he was certainly better at getting the ball out his hands. Same line as fields looked a lot better with a QB making quick decisions.

        So yeah, put whatever asterisk you want on that stat, but what you said doesn’t do much to defend the fact his reading of the game has not improved.
