After a rough three-game start to the NFL season, Justin Fields has pieced together an argument. One that says despite some inconsistency, he is getting better as a quarterback.
He’s missing fewer wide open throws. He’s playing more patient in the pocket and drifting less. He’s running to compliment and balance his game, rather than falling out of structure to hunt plays. With 34 starts now under his belt for the Chicago Bears, you can draw a line between two 17-game sample sizes — which would represent two full NFL seasons — and see that his second 17 is markedly better than his first.
