He excelled as a passer in his last 3 full starts. But people didn't like that he rushed for 100+ yards today as well. I really don't care where the yards come from, tbh.
He's absolutely a QB1 in this league. Do you want me to list the guys starting games yesterday? He may not be a top 10 guaranteed every week, but I'm not convinced Williams/Maye will be either. This sub would have had us drafting Bryce last year.
And we're only having this discussion because Flus blew the game on defense.
Is Betteridge a bust?
Baltimore is a really good team that is fun to see on my TV. The Bengals are that good team that you're assuming will put it all together so it's kinda fun and kinda not quite there.
The Steelers are confusing.
The Browns are a really good defense with no QB, which Reddit fucking hates (Source: a Bears fan).
It's not my favorite division to watch, but it's competitive.
Opponent PPG for Fields:
2023: 31.4
2022: 25.2
2021: 25.1 (technically he was the backup)
In the last full NFL season, 25.1 would be good for 28th worst defense, 31.4 would be 4 points worse than the worst defense.
Opponent PPG for backups:
2023: 19.75
2022: 31 (one game, L)
2021: 22.2 (Dalton technically the starter)
In the last full NFL season, 22.2 would be good for the 18th worst defense. 19.75 would be 7th.
Often that's either the guy on your roster or the guy NOT going #1.
Trade out of the #1 slot and take a guy in the mid-late 1st or 2nd.
