Justin Fields is a singular talent. He's doing things no QB in NFL history has ever done. These "advanced stats" sites are all stupid. People love them when they support their beliefs and bash them when they don't. They claim to be statistical and unbiased but football is far to complicated and has far to many factors for this kind of arbitrary statistical analysis. All you have to do is watch the game.

I'm not a Fields fanboy. I was highly critical of him. He is playing incredible football. He's far from perfect, he still has a lot of room to grow. Maybe he is unique and the advanced stats don't know how to account for him. That's what the tape says.

I generally subscribe to dvoa / fo as a TEAM metric.

It’s great for fantasy football but once they determine said player sucks, they will die on that hill no matter how good that player performs going forward

What this ignores is how Fields would perform if he were on the Dolphins vs how a Tua would peform if his 2nd best WR was ESB.
Tua on the Bears? He’d have been on IR by week 5 at the latest.
