ARCANE, 3:30AM AND SPEEDDEMON OUT NEWOOOOO!!!!!!!

It just feels like the Steelers never have been fully committed to Justin Fields (despite going 4-2 there as a starter) and neither were the Bears. The reason I say that is the moment he left the Bears they did a lot more to surround Caleb Williams with talent than they ever did for him. They also did not build an offensive game plan around Fields complimentary God given athleticism the way the Ravens have for example with Lamar Jackson. Fields remains the second fastest quarterback in NFL history to achieve 5,000 yards passing and 2,000 yards rushing next to the 2x NFL MVP. Jackson did it in 33 games. Fields did it in 36 games. I remember in 2021, my heart sunk the moment I heard the Bears had selected Fields in the first round. I felt instinctually that was a bad fit and that’s what it turned out to be. He didn’t fit the DNA of that organization from day one. I can’t even imagine had the 49ers picked him with Kyle Shanahan and the talent level they had —Fields would have been a superstar with the 49ers. That’s where I was hoping he would go. Look what Shanahan did with Mr. Irrelevant. No, instead they traded three number one picks for Trey Lance who I had an undraftable free agent grade on pre draft: nfldraftdiamonds.com/2021/03… Justin Fields was my QB1 in the 2021 NFL Draft and by the looks of it, he has a chance to be the best quarterback out of that draft class. It’s a lot closer than anyone is talking about. I had first round grades on Fields and Trevor Lawrence, but I put a 90% bust rate on Lawrence pre draft when he came out and basically said winning wasn’t the most important thing to him in that Sports Illustrated article a couple weeks before the Jaguars selected him si.com/nfl/2021/04/14/trevor…. Fields is 17-33 as a starter. Lawrence is 22-38. Fields has completed 61.1% of his passes in his NFL career. Lawrence is at 63.3%. I believe if the Steelers fully committed to Fields he could lead them to the Super Bowl. The next best option for Fields would be the Colts. He would lead that current roster to the playoffs next season and he would beat out Anthony Richardson the moment he walked through the door (my pre draft scouting report on Richardson: firstroundmock.com/2023/04/a… The third best option for Fields would be the Seahawks. He would also lead them to the playoffs next season as their undisputed starter. The fourth best option would be to sign with the Dolphins behind Tua and see where that goes. Not all quarterbacks are like instant oatmeal, some take years to find their way in this league, Doug Williams, Rich Gannon, and Geno Smith are three that come to mind right off the bat. I’m hoping more than anything Fields finds the BEST FIT and finds an organization that fully believes in him. That is half the battle and it’s something that becomes harder and harder the further a quarterback gets from the original GM and Head Coach who drafts a quarterback. Everyone wants “their guy.” The NFL is a league of relationships and familiarity for the most part. I didn’t get in that way, but that’s the way it mostly works. Fields has a lot to offer, but he needs a strong support structure. He’s no different than Sam Darnold who wallowed around the league until he was surrounded with the kind of talent level Minnesota has —then suddenly he wins 14 games after people thought he was a bust. The Steelers have an even stronger talent level than the Vikings on their roster, that’s how I know he could lead them to the Super Bowl with his skillset if they got behind him. I said the same thing about Fields and the Steelers before the 2024 season began in this post xitter.cf/firstroundmock/status/… I’m not making this stuff up. I predicted the Vikings would be the surprise team in the NFC with Darnold before last season happened in this post xitter.cf/firstroundmock/status/… I’m attaching my pre draft scouting report on Fields. I still believe in him and hope he gets his chance to prove what I know about him: nfldraftdiamonds.com/2021/03…
