So, Fields was awful today, no sugar coating it. But I am not panicking or even close to writing him off yet. As I said, I think the picture will be much clearer the middle of next season. If he’s consistently bad 3 games into next year, I will start to panic.
I’m honestly more worried about Getsy at this point. He seems to have no idea how to get an offense into rhythm, and at least by my eyes, seems to follow up every chunk gain with a run up the middle. A really insightful analyst said Getsy was making things more difficult for Justin than they should be. Not that Fields hasn’t stunk, he has.
Getsy’s misdirection plays seem to get blown up with the regularity of Matt Nagy’s. The talent on offense stinks up and down the board. Right now I just want to see Fields make progress, and finish the year upright. I’ve been completely unimpressed with Getsy thus far.
