Former Bears Coach Says Fields was "Really hard to Watch"

[DefNextYear]

Fields, as I understand it, is slated to be the backup QB in Pittsburgh...The job is Russell Wilson's to lose.

Which, of course, he may.

Yea, of course... but that's not my point. My point is that I don't see it as a uniquely good opportunity for Fields to help himself. The wording "If he cannot succeed under Mike Tomlin, then he likely won't succeed in the NFL." implied that working with Tomlin is some great opportunity to succeed, but we've seen QBs fail there as evident by them wiping out the entire QB room this past offseason. Maybe I'm misinterpreting that quote though.

ModSquad, please reinstate the Fields Mega-Thread so @run and shoot can go talk to himself in there . . .

No thank you.

If Russ plays as decently as he did last year, Fields ain’t seeing the field unless they use him as a gadget player or a kick returner

What I should have said is that good players thrive in the Steelers organization.

If he washes out there, I don't think he'll ever amount to much, IMHO.

That's fair.

Shouldn't this thread have "OT" in the title?

I was always rooting for him and I thought he was going to be special given some of his performances. I actually wanted to stick with him this year but now, I think it was the right move to take Williams (I am super excited to see him play) and also for Fields to get a fresh start somewhere new. I hope he does well although I hope Williams is leaps and bounds better than him.

Yea...I still can't figure out how he had great games, and then really bad games. Not much in-between. To quote David Ferrie (Joe Pesci) in JFK....me referring to Fields......"he's a mystery, wrapped in a riddle, inside an enigma"

The only riddle and emigma is due to the perception of most nuthuggers.

How many great passing games did he have in 40 starts....games where he actually looked like a top tier NFL qb?

3 maybe 4?

The rest....great highlight plays; based off broken plays that resulted in qb runs and most often, garbage qb play followed by even worse putrid play in the 4th quarter.

There is no great mystery; he just wasn't/isn't a very good nfl qb.

Justin Fields says he's ready to compete for Steelers QB spot, wasn't shocked by trade

REPORT: Justin Fields knew the Chicago Bears wanted to trade him on Jan. 8; okay with backup role

Justin Fields was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason. Fields wanted to be traded there even though he'd be a backup.

For the most part you're correct.......I'd say 8-10 great games....my point is why couldn't he follow with really good games? Why such extremes in his games? Why no consistency ? You are right on using the word putrid...lmao....to describe his 4th quarters.

No one was shocked by the trade Justin.

Oh come on, we had a few clinging to the bitter end.

That's what bad qb do....1 great game followed by 5-6 poor games

I'd say 10 great games is a stretch.....hell, did he even have 10 200+ yard games?

His best game was prob vs denver lasy yest...and he shit the bed the last 20 mins and of course had a fumble six mixed in resulting in a loss

It's where he asked to go. What could be better for him than that.

Good Rex, Bad Rex. We've seen it too many times, unfortunately. Consistency is a hallmark of a franchise QB, I guess.

Fields had only two good receivers, D J Moore and Cole Kmet. Both had career years with Justin. Let's see how he does with a decent receiving corps before writing him off.
