For those asking for progress I am showing something. I understand we are all tired of this conversation but I want to hear the counter arguments.
Progress but not perfect. I think there is plenty of room to grow and he does have a fumble problem. I also think the scheme would destroy most QBs in the league.
Do I know if he is the guy? No I don’t know. But I am seeing growth.
I think average have a way to glossing over the real story.
Fields had two games where he threw for 8 TDs alone…
In those two games, he was 8 TD to 1 INT.
In the other 6 of his 2023 games, he is 4 TD to 5 INT.
Even in the Denver game, Fields disappeared in the 3rd and 4th quarter, losing a fumble that resulted in a Denver TD and he threw an INT with less that 2 min left in the game.
Yes, the defense gave up a shit ton of points, but damn…Fields just collapsed in the 4th quarter and helped is team lose.
So no, I do not think the average you put up show an accurate picture of who Fields is as a QB. This is why his W/L record actually matters.
