In Fields' last 4 games (3.5 considering the injury) he's got 1076 total yards, 9 TD and 3 TO. If you break that down to a per-game average, that's 270 YPG, 2 TD and 1 TO.
If you asked ANYBODY before the season started whether they'd take 270 and 2 TD per game they would be over the moon.
Unfortunately for him and us, all the games count and raw stats don't win
wins are not a QB stat.
270/2/1 is pretty close to Justin Herbert's statline this season and his team has only 1 more win than us
OK but he hasn't played 3.5 games this season, he's played 7. All QBs have good and bad streaks, that's why you need to look at their performances over time.
Right and you also look at trends. And the trends show he was bad to start the season was very good for 2 games, had a half of a bad game and was very good again. I'd say playing like a top 10 QB in 3 of his last 4 starts is a great trend. It's better than him being shit in those games.
The franchise QB CANNOT be the leading rusher. Total yards are an inflated stat I’m sorry it just is
Fields has 1,711 total yards on the season; 1,370 passing and 341 rushing. That's a bit more than 244 yards per game.
There are TWELVE QBs in the league with more than 244 yards JUST PASSING per game.
That list? C.J. Stroud, Tua Tagovailoa, Kirk Cousins, Sam Howell, Jared Goff, Patrick Mahomes, Brock Purdy, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott and Matthew Stafford. (That's not even including QBs whose passing + rushing per gam is higher than Fields'.)
Fields is at 195.7 passing yards per game. That's 24th in the league. Zach Wilson is 25th, 1.3 yards per game behind Fields. Zach Wilson!!!
