Fields is pretty much middle of the pack in most statistics. People keep saying he needs to play like an MVP to stay and I’m wondering why that is the bar? If he’s consistently an average QB, I say build the rest of the team and see if you can find good coaches. A first round QB is just as likely to be worse than better.
He isn't consistently average. His strengths and weaknesses are so extreme that he fluctuates between great and terrible. His stats look average right now, but 8 of his 12 touchdowns came from 2 games. That inconsistency isn't sustainable.
9 of his 12 TDs came from the last 3 full games he played - there’s been a clear jump in performance and it’s not swinging back & forth like your comment implies. He’s only played 6 games, so saying “8 of 12 TDs came from 2 games” doesn’t mean all that much
