What do you guys think. On a built offense with talent around him, can he be a top 10 passer. We already know he has a the arm for it. WHAT IS HIS CEILING AS A PASSER? In your opinion.

And just so people don't call me a Fields homer - he has areas of improvement as well. Speeding up his feet, quicker processing, taking check downs when there, etc will all help. This comes with experience and time in the system.

I think that is his upper limit. This season he is 25th in passer rating among qualifying players. Improving to the 15-20 range is a reasonable goal. That plus his elite rushing ability makes him a top 10 QB overall.

He sure has potential. He has so much fucking potential its not even funny. Just give him protection and weapons and see where it goes before he is ruined ffs.

I think he can but it would not only take getting a true #1 WR and legit OL but also the play caller letting him become that, and not sure they plan on being a great passing team over a great running team.

I haven't seen Justin do the things that a great QB does.
He doesn't seem to hit receivers in stride, or lead them to their open side.
He doesn't seem to 'thread the needle' with passes close to the ground or to the out of bounds line.
He isn't calling the quick counts when the defense is in a poor formation.
We seem to ignore this because he's a great athlete.
He can run, but the great QBs don't rely on their running very much.
If he keeps running, he will get hurt, similar to the end of this season.
