Bagent is a real scrappy player! Fields, what a class act. Olave is a firecracker.

Lol I miss the league

[–] erichw23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is so God damn hilarious, but not to this sub that's full of boomers. This sub isn't exactly progressive or anywhere near it

[–] TouchGrassRedditor@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jesus Christ this sub is fucking devolving to new lows.

Field isn't even remotely a gunslinger, he's a coward that doesn't throw to wide open receivers because he's more comfortable scrambling

[–] Successful-World7937@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I believe this is a reference to MNF for Josh Allen being called a “gunslinger” even though he’s throwing picks left and right

[–] SuperSocrates@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ah yes, not throwing the ball, a classic trait of gunslingers

[–] Lysol20@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don't see Mahommes.

I know we don't have the smartest people in this sub but holy fuck is this stupid

[–] mateorayo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So do people on this sub not watch the games? Or is it all just nephews that have bad opinions because the are like 15?

[–] SuperSocrates@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think it’s the latter

[–] theresabeeonyourhat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fields don't throw it deep often enough to be a gunsligner

[–] BobbleBobble@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fields, the gunslinger who doesn't sling, instead keeps the gun in the holster and runs the guy over

[–] Fotoem@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Let's blame race when a QB is meh.

[–] Vin-Metal@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Decisive but throws interceptions vs annoyingly unable to pull the trigger but exciting when he runs

[–] hammerSmashedNail@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This one is going to get locked pretty quickly.

Josh Allen has made it to the AFC Championship game, the divisional twice, has a 4-4 playoff record, and if it wasn’t for 13 seconds would have made it to a Super Bowl. He’s earned the benefit of the doubt after stellar play the past few seasons even if this one is disappointing so far. Justin Fields is 6-25 as a starter and has looked bad even in the games he’s won. Arguing race is the difference in perception between the two is incredibly stupid.

If Fields took the Josh Allen approach he’d at least show his potential, the problem is that Fields requires too much certainty to operate (he’d also throw a shit ton of interceptions). For people that think it’s a Bears problem, because Mitch had the same problem, keep in mind that most premier college QB’s can’t read an NFL defense pre-snap AND post-snap, all within seconds. The ability to do this is exceedingly rare, probably requires very specific innate skills and years of practice. Fields and Mitch don’t have the skill and were never asked to develop in this area throughout their early careers. They are cooked bird, they what they are. Allen doesn’t appear to be great at it either, but he throws it anyway, for mixed results. The problem is that college ball is mostly about athleticism and the NFL is about skill first and top-shelf athleticism second. I think NIL will spread talent around more, increase parity in college ball, and the jump to the NFL will become a bigger and bigger leap. Super teams won’t exist anymore, with means college QB’s will never play against elite defenses until the NFL.

Reddit and making everything about Race. Find a more dynamic duo

[–] BuffaloBrain884@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is definitely a stereotype that you still hear, but also Justin Fields can't read a defense

[–] Loop_Within_A_Loop@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

it's a funny meme, but Fields still isn't good

Bro this is not it lmao

[–] Tedy_Duchamp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think we all knew it was only a matter of time before truthers used this take to defend Fields from criticism

Jameis Winston is a gunslinger

[–] OpneFall@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don't think it can possibly get more gunslinger than a season of 30 TDs and 30 INTs

Yeah cause everyone calls Zach Wilson a gunslinger

[–] FitRecognition38@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I am guessing this has to do with RG III's post during last night's game comparing Allen and Prescott.

Sadly, he doesn't understand that while they don't talk about Allen's poor performance on the shows he shows up on, fans are well aware and talk about how Allen has been hurting his team vs Prescott who has looked solid.

[–] Acceptable-Yak7968@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

LOL the racism card in Fields again?

Cmon guys, be better than that

[–] TrynnaFindaBalance@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's amazing how much toxicity our fan base has concocted over Fields when he hasn't played a single game for an entire month now. Stop posting weird shit like this, chill tf out and just see how the rest of the season goes.

[–] dezzbuttz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fields Stan that cant cope

[–] __bake_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's right until it's not.

[–] rdldr1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I still don't know who Josey Wales is, Gruden.

[–] tbi0904@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Rage bait meme. Very original idea.

[–] alexamerling100@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oh boy the comments are gonna be insane lol

[–] SD40couple@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This post should just be deleted.

Man the excuses and blame for fields failures that haven’t happened are out in force. You fields truthers must have a ton of faith in him.

[–] mlloyd@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Way to sum up the last several weeks here.

[–] sounds_like_kong@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

“Jay Cutler is modern day Josey Wales!”

[–] rvH3Ah8zFtRX@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Let me get this straight - you think our QB who refuses to throw to open receivers, holds the ball, and takes sacks, qualifies as a "gunslinger"?

[–] Thekid312@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wish I could platinum this shit

[–] Nutaholic@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Can't be a gunslinger if you're always taking sacks instead of slinging.

[–] AlertRecognition1777@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Bustin Fields dick riders have ran out of so many excuses they now have to resort to these cringe and sad victim complexes

[–] Good_Energy9@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He not a gunslinger he a pray

[–] Calkyoulater@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dark Tower movie haters be like…

[–] NWSide77@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Still a gun slinger if QB holds ball for 10 second then sack/fumble 50% of the time ?😆

[–] Good_Energy9@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] ieatfoodyoudont@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think there’s some truth to this, but I also think theres a lot less black “gunslingers” because a lot of black qbs who could’ve been gunslingers weren’t because instead of forcing a 50/50 ball they were very mobile and able to scramble or extend the play for something better as a reliable option. Jameis Winston is the like the only black qb I can think of where gunslinger really jumps out as a way to describe his playstyle. Looking at the career interception leaders, Warren Moon was the only black qb I found in the top 75, like idk the race of every qb ever and maybe the ones that were gunslingers would lose their job quicker historically because of racism or something but I would’ve expected at least a few if recognize, there are plenty in the other passing stats.

[–] rugbysecondrow@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

one one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand, four one thousand, five one-thousand..six one-thous.....sack.

Not a gunslinger.
