You’ve taken major umbrage with it multiple times when I say he’s shown improvement and been mostly solid since returning from the injury.
Well yeah, he's been mostly extremely mediocre since returning from the injury. I definitely don't agree he's been "mostly solid". He had one pretty solid game, a couple average-ish games and a couple solidly below-average games since he came back.
He's shown some improvement from the beginning of the year, which is what I've said every time you've brought it up. But that's an extremely low bar, and he's still not clearing a much higher one all that consistently. Which, again as I've said every time we've ever talked about this, was what we needed to see from him - consistency as a passer. He has not shown it, and even though he was great this week he basically lost the ability to show it this season over the last 4-5 games since he came back.
At the end of the day, the case to keep Fields hinges nearly exclusive on three really good games, with another 'solid' game this year. The other 8 games he started ranged from absolutely awful to just plain "mediocre".
