Justin Fields case for QB1

[hawaiiansteeler]

2 is MUCH better than 1.

That all depends on what you're referring to.

But yes, if you mean asian women then I wholeheartedly agree.

I wouldnt even attempt to compare the Qb’s between this year and last. I think the real discussion should be between this years offensive system and last years. But maybe thats not as fun.

Actually, you're right. But doing that wouldn't advance the "bash Kenny" narrative.

Fields does not yet have the passing skills to be a top 10 QB. Right now he is going to the Russell Wilson QB College and hopefully he develops further. Fields can win some games if he has a good team around him, but if the defense or special teams is having a bad day chances are he is not orchestrating a come from behind victory.

I honestly dont think the moonballs Russ has throw are too exceptional, GP and Cal and others have made great cathes. Fields can throw down the field as well, has a pretty proven record of that. OL and playbook are the keys to any successful passning.

I am soooooo sold on Fields long-term. Still think he can be a Lamar light. Just imagine Fields with a working OL, a legit WR2, and togehter with Harris/Warren, Muuth, GP,

I am not the least bit sold on Fields as a long term answer and think it is underestimating Russ to say he's not actually quarterbacking but only throwing moonballs downfield.

Fields would be the weak link?

Steelers will need a Qb that can pass.

Fields is still a project after how many years in the league???

I agree with this. I will say that the same things I would complain about Fields passing, I used to complain about with Josh Allen. This season it looks like Allen finally 'got it'. So, the potential is there with Fields which makes it difficult to just let him walk away. I think he will be offered a backup role and backup money on a long term deal, with the possibility of becoming the starter. I don't know that he takes that though. He would be considered a better option than just about any other FA or draft prospect. Somebody is going to make him a starter offer. We'll see.

This year? Meaning he went from top 5 to top 2?

I don't understand the question. Are you asking about my complaint on Allen?

If so, he threw with the same heat from 2 yards and 20 yards. He had zero to very little touch on his passes. He had issues with turnovers because he threw short passes so hard it would bounce off his receivers and become a tip drill. I have watched 3 games of his so far this season and his passes have much better touch. He has added a level of finesse to his game he didn't have before this season.

I was saying I see the same thing with Fields passing. Very little touch and too much heat at times. I think he has real potential but he's going to have to develop some more. You can see the difference between Fields and Russ just this season. If Fields develops more finesse with his passes and with his mobility, he could be a very good to great NFL QB. But will it click, and do we take that gamble?

I’m not saying he hasn’t improved. I’m just saying he was borderline MVP for the past 3-4 seasons too.

[DesertSteel]

Fields may be gaining ground after all.

[Born2Steel]

Absolutely. I'm just saying how I used to say Allen would be so much better if he learns some touch on passes rather than just firing it in there. He has and turnovers are down. Same with Fields. Not saying he needs to develop Russ' moonball, but learning some of Russ' touch pass technique would help him a lot. My opinion.

Exactly, must be one of the least difficult things to improve, touch passes and check downs. The running back skills and size,/ strength /courage to step into the pocket is much harder if not impossble to "develop". I have the feeling Tomlin has Fields under reboot development mode this year, and will extend him before Wilson. Remember Tomlin was in love with Fields 6 years ago

Not being Russell Wilson ....

is that a qualification?
