Rustin (and all)......forget the hyperbole and just take in these FACTS.
Justin Fields over the last 5 weeks:
Average Passing Yards per game: 154.6
Average Rushing Yards per game: 110.6
Average Total Yards per game: 265.2
Average Team Points scored per game: 29.6
Average Completion Percentage: 64.6%
TD (all) : Turnovers (all): 15:3
TD:INT (passing only): 9:3 (3:1)
QBR: 99.06
Additional Note: He broke the all time single game rushing record by a QB (Vick) and the all time 2-game rushing total by a QB.
He has accomplished this given these circumstances: Being a Y2 QB, being in a new offense with a Y1 OC/Playcaller, with an OL that struggles mightily in pass protection, and a sub par (to say the least) set of pass catchers.
I find this fucking incredible to be honest. I'm not mad when people want to see his passing game improve, but IT HAS. Fields also does not call the plays, Getsy does, so the lack of pass attempts falls on him mostly (some on Fields too for scrambling occasionally when he should pass, but those are often off set by great runs).
Any Bears fan who is not happy with this post needs to see a shrink immediately. What the actual fuck are we doing here? He's making mind blowing plays every single game now, and the takeaway by some is mostly NEGATIVE? Because you don't see it as either sustainable or not the style of play you want? GMAFB. This is what I see as being ungrateful. He's doing all this IN SPITE OF those circumstances, maybe consider those circumstances before complaining that he isn't doing enough with his arm vs legs? Maybe as the OL and pass catchers improve and we get into Y2 of the offense we will see more arm vs legs? And instead of citing year long stats to purposely deflate his current status, look at where he is right now as this offense is starting to gel a bit - it's a far more accurate view.
