“Gunslinger” vs “Can’t read a defense”

  1. If your talking fields vs Cutty. The difference is fields won’t throw, Cutty didn’t care cause he believed he could fit a bowling ball through a pin hole.

    If fields had that FU confidence a lot of the debate around him would end and he’d be the franchise

  2. Problem is Fields isn’t a gunslinger. Hes too gun shy. If he just lets it rip he would be fine.

  3. I got hosed for saying I would’ve taken Fields over TLaw and while I’m fine being wrong on that, he’s been out 4 weeks and still more TDs while dealing with this bullshit roster+coaching.

  4. #Is that Berrian? I think he’s triple-covered. You know what? Fuck it. I’m throwing it downfield.

  5. #Is that Berrian? I think he’s triple-covered. You know what? Fuck it. I’m throwing it downfield.

  6. Sadly this will be seen as a serious take when Justin Fields is most likely gone next year

  7. If Fields had the Cutler/Farve attitude I think he’d be miles ahead of where he is. If for no other reason he’d have all those mistakes to learn from. It’s hard to learn from the mistake of not taking a chance.

  8. Its a fine meme.

    But in seriousness. Fields simply cannot read a defense, hes definitely not a gunslinger lol, I wish he was. I’d rather he let his balls drop and let it rip than take 5+ sacks a game.

  9. I hope Fields’ agent is sending checks to this Reddit sub. Do people not remember that the number 1 criticism of Mitch Trubisky was that he couldn’t read defenses? Did people start watching the bears 3 years ago?

  10. Huh? Our last 2 attempts at a franchise QB are Fields and Trubisky, and both received the “Can’t read a defense” criticism.

  11. I mean, Grossman was a gunslinger who also couldn’t consistently read a defense.

    Fields also doesn’t chuck it fuck it. I’d be happy if he did chuck it fuck it to dj more once he’s back.

  12. So we’re down to playing the ‘racism’ card to explain away Fields’ failures, now?

    This is getting tiring. Anyone who criticizes Fields on this subreddit is called a ‘meathead’, and now the implication is that they’re a racist. Meanwhile Fields supporters blame the O-Line, the receivers, the coaches, the organization, the city, etc (I’m waiting for them to blame the stars themselves) for his underperformance. They cherry pick his handful of good games and footage from highlight reels to argue on his behalf, all while ignoring his body of work.

  13. I would most certainly call Jameis Winston a gunslinger. Hell I wish Fields would just rip it. I’d rather see 5 Picks throwing aggressively than 8 sacks where he held the ball too long
