only under 25 attempts in 3 games, Fields only over 25 attempts in 3 games.
Where did you hear first one in and last one out. Not doubting you just want to know if this is true.
They bring this up on Kap and Hoody all the time...They also bring up that Mitch did the same thing.
I don’t think that’s so rare amongst nfl QBs. They basically have to be coaches on the field.
Can't find the article where I read that at the moment, but those were pretty much his exact words. I really don't think any QB wants to rush all that much, altho I'll say this again - I worry much less about Fields getting hurt while running the ball than I do him getting blindsided in the pocket. More often than not, this is where QBs get hurt.
Except it doesn't account for him as a passer. Which is the concern. You cannot sustain success in this league, as a quarterback, without the ability to pass the football at a high level. This should be obvious. Rushing being such a large part of his game also just leads to a future marred by injury. Vick, Newton, and now Jackson. RGIII made it one year before injuries began to derail his career. Well, that and he also never developed as a passer.
I don't think that's accurate. At all. Not for athletic QB's that rush consistently.
Little doubt that Fields will be running again next season and likely the following season and the following and so on. My point was in a perfect world he won't need to rush as much. He stated that he doesn't want to see future seasons with him running for over 1000 yards. But yeah, until teams figure out a way to stop him, he'll continue being a major factor in the run game. And I'll state it yet again: I feel he's safer when he's running than when he's sitting back in the pocket with a blindside waiting to happen.
Here's the thing, Fields has made big time throws, and one to actually win a game, (Mooney dropped the TD) and moved the Bears in 2 min drills (Jones fumble). He has not been totally inept. Is he Dan Marino or Dan Fouts? Other than not being named Dan, no. However, he appears to be a decent young NFL qb. HoF, doubt it, but better than the rest of that qb draft class not named Lawernce. He isn't going anywhere. Not yet. If the Bears fix the Team around him and they do not make the playoffs due to mediocre qb play, then you move on. QB's are hard to judge, hell, Mr irrelevant led the 49'rs to a playoff victory.
Justin himself has said that he would rather be setting passing records than rushing records, so there is hope. The problem lies in when does it finally click. Does it click next year, or does it click after he breaks a collar bone or tears up a knee.
