Now, I know you have said he is not a finished product. Do you believe his overall play has met your expectations as the 11th pick in the draft?
I think his performance has been up and down, but was reasonably strong last year. I think he’s had probably the least support of any young QB in recent memory. He had to play under the crazily dysfunctional Nagy and Pace, then had to learn a new system in his 2nd year while the team was literally being torn down around him. Considering all that, I thought his performance was pretty admirable. As I’ve said, 250x he’s not a finished product as a passer, and needs to get better.
I literally said “how about we wait to call him a failure until we’ve seen what he does with more help (at least 10x)?” You quickly, loudly, and repeatedly shot that down. And now you want to say “I expect him to pull it together,” as if you’ve been “consistent” or fair on Justin Fields all along. It’s a huge load of mularkey.
