Why Justin Fields will fail with the Pittsburgh Steelers

Why has nobody traded for Justin Fields? It's definitely not because the Chicago Bears are planning to build around him moving forward. And after watching through all of his NFL regular season games last year, it's easy to understand why.
Fields plays football like a broken quarterback, creating the inefficiency and inconsistency that marred the Bears offence last season. Caleb Williams, Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels all at a minimum offer more upside and long-term financial control in the NFL Draft.

As a bears fans it’s alarming how many people in Chicago want to keep him and trade the #1 pick.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

No doubt that OC Getsy isn’t good for developing QBs. He let Aaron Rodgers manage a lot of details in plays & Fields didn’t get enough development on the details. BUT, plenty of times there were plays like 2:35 where Fields missed open throws so I’m finally going to say what I’ve been thinking since half way through his second season: Fields appears to not be putting in the obsessive work off the field that every young must put in if he wants to be successful. Not saying that he is lazy or dumb, maybe he just doesn’t know how a pro QB must prepare to play well. But there’s so much info a young QB must learn & reduced practice time since the 2011 CBA has impacted new player development.

[@briannettles669]

Yes, it is sad now many Bears fans do not understand football. This is the 2020s and the NFL is a quarterback league. Having an underachieving below-average NFL quarterback like Fields will get an NFL team absolutely nowhere. You need a quarterback like Mahomes, Allen, Burrows, or Lemar Jackson if you want to be a Super Bowl contender. The Bears need their version of Mahomes and stop wish casting that Fields will mysteriously get it suddenly one of these years and become a top-five quarterback in the NFL.

[@jtwilliams8895]

They like Fields personally, and they get excitement from his game. But you just can’t overlook his total ineffectiveness in the 4Q when the game is on the line. Scrambling around can lead to some exciting first downs, but the Bears aren’t going far in the playoffs with this style of play. They COULD keep Fields as a backup, and maybe he could line up in the backfield on occasion. But knowing the Bears, it would probably be just a big mess

[@r.williamcomm7693]

@@jtwilliams8895 That’s the best explanation I heard for why fans like him. No doubt his athletic abilities make his game exciting to watch. You’re also correct that the running around results in playoff losses. It reminds of Randall Cunningham who won a lot of games & was one of my top 3 to enjoy watching but he always lost in the playoffs. I believe fans also saw how many times Fields had nothing but covered receivers & knew Getsy’s offense had issues that a young QB couldn’t overcome.

[@pwnsh4rk6]

This is the most big-brain thread speaking about Justin Fields I’ve seen on the entire internet. Just paragraph long, logical explanations for why he’s not the right guy. And it’s true, he isn’t. Man doesn’t read pressure, doesn’t sense open guys, doesn’t hit open passes, etc. Probably the most infuriating thing about someone that fast is watching them have the slowest, most lethargic looking dropback in all of football. The logic I’m hearing is as follows: How do you play behind a bad line for 3 years and still not show ANY indication that you’re aware of needing to speed up that process?

Fields was making QB 101 mistakes... I am confident in saying Bagent will be in the league longer than Fields. You watch him play and wonder if the Bears had 2 different OCs / coaching staffs. He dropped back with urgency, got rid of the ball on time and was capable of throwing anticipation passes. I watched all year and saw Fields throw one near the end of the season where the WR wasn't out of his break and the ball was in the air. All Bagent really needs is to strengthen his arm and grip... He threw a few flutter balls when he tried to go deep. He will be one of the better backups in the league.

About 20% of what Fields does on the field is good. This video is 80%+ focused on his problems, with some discussion of his incredible arm talent. I didn’t include anything about his ability to run because realistically you can’t build long term success at quarterback without having a competent passing skill set. Which he doesn’t have.

Justin Fields is just not a very good QB, and it's all on tape unfortunately. I'm sure he's a great guy, but after what happened to the Panthers with Mayfield and Darnold, a lot of teams are probably wary of giving up significant draft capital on a guy who will effectively be a rental.

[@briannettles669]

Fields does not have what it takes to be a successful quarterback in the NFL. If no team is willing to give up anything for Fields, I wonder if it is in the Bears' best interest to give up on Fields as a starting quarterback, but keep him and give him a role similar to what Taysom Hill has for the Saints. Fields can come in a few times a game and play the Wildcat quarterback role. He can use his running ability by playing running back or pass-catching receiver in the backfield similarly that Deebo Samuel does for the 49ers. The Bears can still salvage Fields' athletic ability by giving him a different role.

[@cheezegrader2090]

I guess I have to be the only one against the grain here lol. This is a very good analysis and it exposes all of his glaring weeknesses. To sum it up he holds the ball to long for plays to develop and misses open reads. And he holds the ball too long due to speed and urgency in his drop back allowing corners to recover and potentially make plays on the ball. You definitely exposed this very well. My only argument is that these are fixable with coaching. I’m not gonna say Getsy was a good or bad coordinator but I will say that Fields was not the right qb for his system. I would understand if he had these flaws minus all of his strengths and abilities, then ok he isn’t worth the hassle. But the fact that he has shown flashes of greatness and his flaws are common flaws amongst young duel threat QBs, is why I believe with the right coaching he can be great. I feel with all of my heart that he has quite literally been teaching himself how to play quarterback at the NFL level on the Chicago Bears. There has been no coach or coordinator giving him the proper guidance for him to succeed and improve on HIS issues. His only ounce of guidance has been his prior mistakes and experience from them. Which is why he still does what he does. I feel releasing the ball quicker is something he can fix with the right coaching, and the slower drop back is due to fatigue. Now I’m not saying fatigue is a viable reason but it does play a factor. He rushes a lot and then has to go and make another play with his arm. I do believe he is capable of both, but a coach is the one who should really pinpoint that to him and have him focus on it. It’s some things that coaches see that players just don’t see or realize, hence why he still does what he does. But we have seen all the other QBs like him with proper coaching, they said the same thing about them until they got their coaches. The Bears hired the wrong guy at the wrong time, Getsy was not able to help Fields on where he needed help the most for whatever reason you wanna come up with. You can tell when you watch him play, Justin had to sift out different information from them to even come close to succeeding at his position. All those open passes he didn’t make in the seems of the zone was out of fear from his only teacher through out his career, his past mistakes. He plays to try and limit his mistakes without any help from his coaches or his O-Line most of the time, while running for his life, with minimal receiver help. His first couple games were bad they were, which only proves my point further. There was a clear disconnect between him and Getsy especially in the beginning, and the fact that he was in his second year with him makes it more so the fact that they were just not the right pairing. So when he said that he was done trying to play Getsy’s game and just play his own is when he gave up on their guidance and committed to his trauma from past mistakes. Which is all this video is pretty much saying, a good borderline great QB suffering from terrible coaching.. apparently is bad.

What is Faheys NFL background

[@lifts586]

That second play is not as open as you claim. The way the corner plays it causes Fields to pause. Sure it comes open half a second later but that's not what Fields saw. You gloss over the fact that the nickel is on the wheel route initially when Fields looks that way. Also, the corner is sitting down on the route and facing Fields so Fields can't determine which way the corner is going to go. If the corner commits to the wheel it's at very least a pass break up if not an INT. The nickel and corner play that as well as they could. Both the nickel and the corner are reading Fields' eyes and reacting accordingly. Yes, the wheel comes open but not due to the reasons you mention. The corner would have just adjusted his drop if Fields read that differently. Fields absolutely has issues processing things quick enough. This play is misleading. It's like the Trey Burton play in the end zone with Mitch years ago. Stillshots without taking into account everything can be misleading.

[@stephenc9999]

It is fine to pause. The point is fields knows what routes are being run so he should know that one of those receivers is about to be wide open. Instead he runs into a sack in the middle of the line.

[@mrfamousamos9819]

That would all be okay n cool if this was a disguised cover 3. Any elite QB know who to throw too before the ball is snapped on this play. This was a perfect play call against this coverage, a te wheel stressing outside the numbers, a running back wheel up the seem, and a post from the X accross the safeties face. Pre snap, you should already be telling yourself to read the safeties to confirm cover 3, then when you can confirm it your only three reads should be the flat, to post, to rb wheel . With the rb wheel being the thing that he should just know can get open if the hook doesn’t match on to it. If the hook matches on then he has the post underneath and still probably has the rb wheel as it will be no safety help over top as the safety would have to drop down to the post.

[@lifts586]

@@stephenc9999 the maker of this video contends that Fields missed a wide open touchdown. That is not the case. The corner is sitting down on the route coming down the seam. His hips are turned towards that route. He is watching Justin. The "sure touchdown", is a sure INT if Justin throws the ball. Sure, a split second after Justin gets off that read it comes open but that is the point. It was not open when he was on it and it would have been an INT based off the way the corner was playing the route. I do agree that the sack is inexcusable.

I tried to explain this on Twitter and other fellow Bear fans called me every name in the book. I get it that Fields can wow you with a play here and there, he runs better than some starting running backs in the league, but you cannot win when the QB cannot read a D and make the quick decisions as a passer you need to take the pressure off and move the ball through the air. Another thing with Fields is he stinks against zone, he freezes and will pass up on multiple wide opened WRs then take off running. As much as I liked the dude, he was the most frustrating QB I've seen on this team in 54 years of following the Bears. The talent was there, it was what was between the ears that lacked, and by all accounts he was a hard worker. I haven't a clue why he never 'got it'. I was ready for him to get shipped out by week 3 this past year, even though he played decent for a few games after he came back from his injury it wasn't enough to get the sour taste out of my mouth, then that Packer game happened LOL. The crazy thing is if he won that game he might still be a Bear, I have to thank the Packers for winning that game, and it makes my stomach churn, but I was a huge Williams fan for the past 2.5 years, so I'm going nuts right now knowing he will be a bear in less than 2 weeks.

A bad snap can alter a play. You're shitting on a QB with high potential athletically and mentally. The bears ol is worse than the Steelers n that says a lot

[@rellfacts279]

As a Steelers fan, this is why I would like him to SIT for the entire season and learn behind Russell Wilson. A guy who has actually played quarterback at a high level in the league. A better situation is not going to improve him as a passer. Media and some Bears fans who have followed him over to Pittsburgh want him to start so badly but he needs a reset. Incredible athleticism but the quarterback position is about processing, distributing the ball to your players, anticipation and he still needs work at those things.

[@rawswisher43]

You have no idea how to develop a QB. He isn’t magically gonna turn into a Brock Purdy or Joe Burrow type of QB who can read multiple coverages, anticipate windows/leverage and pocket presence that is needed in todays NFL. Fields is a finished product with zero room to grow. What you see is what you get in the NFL as a Pickett fanboy you should’ve known that already this isn’t 1970 anymore QBs either have “it” or are a bust like fields is.

[@rellfacts279]

@@rawswisher43 Josh Allen didn’t pop until year three. Lamar Jackson had his MVP season his second season. Mahomes sat an entire year. Quarterbacks can develop into elite players if you let them. Fields was never given that chance. By week 3 his rookie season he was in the lineup.

You can’t compare that bust to those QBs, you should be comparing him to Jason Campbell who had a similar career to this point and his career trajectory is headed towards. Stay delusional 8 years without a playoff win will do that.

[@emehrkens9189]

The fact of the matter is, Fields sucked as a Qb and fooled everyone with his athleticism and stoic leadership. Go watch how much better the offense functioned with Bagent under center. Bagent didn’t get sacked nearly as often as Fields because he got rid of the ball and didn’t run out of clean pockets. Bagent didn’t have a very strong arm down deep but had the offense moving very quickly.

[@blkkingg]

BUST 😂

[@leonidas759]

I honestly never understood the hype among Bears fans to keep Fields. He has incredible running skills and I loved his running plays. But every single game I would get frustrated by his inability to read defenses and his inability to complete mid to long distance passes (except when thrown to Moore). I think the Offensive coordinator and the coach always called short pass or run because they simply knew that Fields could not complete longer passes. I understand that his running plays are very exciting to watch, but I also understand the GM decision to give up on him because he does not perform as a QB.

[@c.antoinehill100]

Alarming breakdowns. HOWEVER, the Steelers have a much better organization, coaching staff, and personnel; with a HOF QB with a similar playing style. So Justin will be fine.

At 8:34 is it possible that he wasn’t supposed to take ANY steps back? That shotgun is already the equivalent of a three step drop so IMHO that extra step made him late to throw the ball.

[@abaofifsz]

No, It is designed for a quick out route. That shotgun requires a one step dropback for quickness. All snaps have a dropback. It is needed to establish rhythm and a steady base among other things.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

@@abaofifsz Thank you. I was thinking it called for a pivot & that’s why it left him so late on the throw. Some of these throws were also meant to start with the left foot back instead of right but were modified by Aaron Rodgers for whom Getsy used to be the OC. Picture Rodgers running that. He would have his right foot back, take the snap & already be in throwing stance to fire a quick dart. Of course all of us would be genius OCs if Aaron Rodgers was our QB. I think that’s how Getsy got the Bears gig but whatever he did with Justin Fields didn’t work. 😀

[@r.williamcomm7693]

@@abaofifsz So what if he started with his left door back instead, caught the snap, stepped his right foot back & fired the ball to the receiver? Instead he did like a hop or a hitch because he started with his right foot back already.

[@raymondireland8103]

I live in Chicago (born and raised). I really wanted Fields to succeed. But ive been saying for a couple years that i dont see it with him as much as i wanted to. He held the ball too long and missed open receivers consistently. Coaching wasn't great and the o line was horrible early on. But some plays had nothing to do with that and he still wouldn't make them. Sometimes he made it harder for the line himself. The really good qb's make plays, period. Borrow had a horrible line but made plays. Mahommes has had to scramble for his life numerous times and at times didn't have top receivers and still made plays. All the really good to great ones do. Saw flashes but not enough from Fields. Thing is he seems to be a great guy so you wanted him to be the guy so bad. Just didn't see it. And if you expressed it, you were likely to be attacked by fellow bears fans and looked at like something is wrong with you.

[@Sneakycat1971]

That's why the Bears only received a 6th rounder for him. His best option is to be another Taysom Hill or switch positions.

[@bigdap100]

Justin Fields has Mike Tomlin now, a coach’s coach who says coaches need to be held accountable for poor/lazy coaching.

[@kevinheisey4350]

I like Tomlin but he started out with 5 years of young Ben Roethlisberger + Bruce Arians. They won a Super Bowl and made another one over that period. Since losing Arians they won 3 playoff games in 12 years. And they cleaned house of their entire post-Roethlisberger QB plan this offseason. Is Tomlin a + for QBs without Arians?

[@Pezzonovante916]

Elephant in the room: Perhaps Fields does not possess the mental acuity to be a QB1 in the NFL. I think the Steelers should make him an RB. Cultivate John Rhys Plumlee. Plumlee will be QB1 and outshine Justin Fields, if this video and its excellent analysis are any indication.

We didn't exactly intend on getting Fields though. So we still aren't necessarily committed to this guy. And there's simply no chance we pick up his 5th year option. If we rework his contract, it's going to be for a team friendly deal. We were perfectly content heading into the 2024 season with Russell Wilson and Kenny Pickett, and then possibly drafting a 3rd in the late rounds sometime (this may still happen). But when Kenny demanded the trade that put the QB position back in play for us. We got this guy dirt cheap and his market value is at an all time low. He's only 25, and is basically a Pickett plug-in at this point. Might be the future, might not be. If he's not, bon voyage!
