Fields' numbers over the last 17 games/pretty telling. Now we see him staying in the pocket more/showing pocket presence, throwing less picks, keeping his eyes up/passing before deciding to run some, etc. The kid is growing and developing. Moreover, the kid continues to show grit, it, and that bounce-back/resilient quality that the great ones have. Those 2 fumbles would have been backbreakers for most QB's.... yet Fields turned it around and was pivotal in leading us to victory. Lastly, whatever remaining flaws he has (like better ball security) are correctable -- according to Chase Daniel.
Regarding Fields' numbers over the last 17 games..... they are pretty remarkable when you consider our disfunction as an organization.... and despite the fact that he has had 2 OC's in 3 years and is now dealing with a subpar (idiotic?) OC. Despite these obstacles that would be insurmountable barriers to success for many other QB's, Fields has still managed to put up respectable numbers while still trending upward.
Bottom line -- based upon what we seen from Justin versus what we have seen from draft eligible QB's (who clearly have the potential to bust) -- it would be stupid to give up on him this soon.
Put more talent around him, give him a competent OC, and lets see what he can do.
