Superduperman Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I haven't watched Fields that closely till today but based on watching him for a full game, my conclusion is that he might somehow be both a better runner than Jackson and a worse passer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 What are we actually comparing here? Because Fields isn't anywhere close to Lamar yet. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nzd07 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Fields isn't anywhere close as to Lamar a passer. And don't even give me the "weapons" BS; because outside of Andrews, Lamar has been working with Hollywood Brown and then RashodIR Bateman as his #1 WR.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Justin Fields right now is a poor man's rookie Lamar Jackson. Both very talented runners, very raw passers. However, there's simply no comparison between how they both were in their 2nd years: Lamar was unanimous MVP while Justin Fields still looks lost trying to complete passes most of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhanYouDigIt Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Lamar and it’s not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodeeWater_Cheezburger Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Lamar has been in the league longer than Justin, but I think it in 3-4 years, Fields will be the better overall player as a runner and as a passer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is Fields was a exceptional 'nfl level' passer in college and the #2 overall prospect out of HS behind Lawrence. Meaning, I have a feeling that his struggles passing the ball in the NFL with the worst skill position talent in the league is more on the team/talent than it is on his ability. He is going to come around to the passing side once playcalling, experience and talent catch up, its going to be scary. He is a powerful big runner like Newton with the speed/agility like Jackson/Vick but with a much higher ceiling than all 3 passing the ball Edited November 14, 2022 by AkronsWitness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you feel this way considering Lamar in his 2nd year was a much better overall player as a runner and as a passer than Fields in his 2nd year?

It's no knock on Lamar by any means. He's a great player. I'm just really high on Fields' potential. To be honest, I haven't seen enough of his games to have a solid opinion, but from what I have seen, he just looks like the type who could be very good once he learns the nuances of the NFL game. I like both players a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields would need a larger sample size of running at an elite level than he has shown so far. Lamar is likely the GOAT in terms of QB running ability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is debatable when everything with Fields is predicated on him keeping up a certain pace while Lamar already owns the greatest rushing season by a QB in NFL history?

He said current. Currently they're neck and neck in everything for this season. Defering to Lamar makes sense and I won't argue it too hardly, but Fields is breaking records as well. I'm simply saying right now it's debatable, even if you prefer Lamar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
