Lamar says “hi”.
Lamar Jackson does not have the strength or power that Fields has. He doesn't break tackles in the pocket like Fields does. He's probably a little bit faster in a straight line and also more shifty as a runner, but also not as strong and difficult to tackle in full stride like Fields is either.

This. Fields has 10+ lbs of muscle on Jackson. I think he's even shifter however, in that he's a long strider which makes him deceptive when eluding tacklers.

I'm not opposed to moving on from Fields, but I wouldn't use QBR as the reason why. It's a trash stat that ESPN has been trying to make a thing for years.
