Guy is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand what he's watching :wacko:
Lol, my football comprehension is off the charts KID. How about you provide some rationale for your opinion? Why are so many salaried analysts wrong and you are right? Let's hear it.
Vtrix are for kids.

I have Fields on my keeper league so I watch him enough to get a feel for his value going forward.
His stats underrate the progress he’s made this past season as well as the true threat of his legs. However, I think people are undervaluing just how bad he’s been in must-throw situations. He holds the ball too long and gets sacked a smidge more often than you’d like to see. A lot of his passing yards accumulated have been against prevent defenses because the game is out of reach.
The comparison I see for him is Hurts, a guy that came in as a runner but also in throwing when the offense moved outside the pocket. Fields fits that mold perfectly, the next step for him is better utilize his legs when plays go off-schedule as a way to open throwing windows. Part of that is chemistry with with receivers, part of that is just developing a better pocket presence and learning the correct way to escape. The Bears line, coaching, and WR core don’t do a lot of favors for him at the moment.
His physical traits are incredible, and he’s shown flashes of what we want to see, but it’s similar to the NBA where people just assume guys will develop their jumper, it’s not a given that Fields makes those strides. If he does progress his pocket awareness and accuracy then he has every tool to be as good as Lamars MVP year.
We seen this with Josh Allen already. It doesn't mean Fields is a lock, but I remember all the same shit being said about Allen and then wow suddenly "#1 QB". I'm not saying Fields will be the #1 QB, but top 5 is definitely do-able for him this year.
