Only the most deranged Fields detractors are ripping him today. I don’t even think ThePAMan has said anything negative today.
I'm not ripping him. I'm saying he was middling as a passer. He was electric as a runner, as I've stated over and over.
That is just accurately describing the game he had, not ripping him. You are dug in so far that to you, any accurate accounting of his play is "ripping him" unless I'm willing to ignore all the negatives. Hell, earlier in the day you were taking me complimenting the offensive line as an implicit dig on Fields. You're in full defensive cultist mode.
I am glad we won. He played well enough to win overall, obviously. A dominant defense helps. What I am looking for (as I've stated a bunch of times) in the last five weeks is to see this obvious improvement
as a passer, which he will need to show if he's ever going to be worth a huge second contract. Today wasn't it. Maybe next week.
