He's played great in several games that they still lost this season.
Pro sports are way too fucking political and the college game is right on its 6. Merit should always be the only factor, well that and character, but I'll digress and go yell at random people to get a job for awhile

This is some real honest stuff from Justin. That’s some brutal honesty that a lot of players don’t speak up about until they are out of the league , or even worse, post-mortem. You can’t perform at any level, especially a stage of this magnitude if you are battling mental issues (no shame).
I love the Bengals, but I’m happy Justin got the win.

Happy Justin pulled together a complete game but the Bengals are the ultimate get right defense in 2025. Hope this is the jolt he needed and finds consistency. Rooting for him to have success.

Really hoping this inspires Justin to have the confidence to trust his eyes more as he moves forward. There is a long history of him not doing this, but sometimes sparks can happen. Let's hope, for his sake, this ends up being that spark.
Nice to see the Jets get the dub for Mangold. <3

Turns out that Fields didn’t need a better system, OC, or teammates to be successful. He just needed to play the right defense.

Too soon old, too late smart
Justin, you're gonna get knocked to the ground. It's how you get up and respond that determines your worth. And the criticism becomes greater, the more money you make. As a QB, you are the focus and the trigger, and the face of the team. Remember the crap you endured as a Buckeye, and multiply that by 10 or 20x, and that's what you are getting now. You had it in you as a Buckeye to persevere, and all you can do is reach as deep as you can, and do the best as you can. You got this, Go Justin.

Jesus, Fields. What are we doing here?
It's one thing to see things, but understanding what they mean in terms of how coverage overlays with your route structure pre to post snap is huge.
Brownies are in cover 3. Jets are running a deep over with a dig behind it, abd your TE leak is coming from the YY back into the interior. So there's no flat cheese/release.
As a QB, you need to see and know these things.
- No travel with presnap motion usually means means zone/match zone
- no vertical threat or cheese to the YY side means that corner (circled in red) is going to scream into building his 1/3 integrity.
- Unless the single high clamps and moves with the Over cheese, the single high will turn that over to the corner building the 1/3 integrity.
- Single high will still work fast threats and turn inside, working towards routes that go upfield and break positive so he can drive on that route.
Hickmans understanding of his defensive structure and how it plays vs how the routes in front of him unfold is good. A LOT of wasted motion and stiff hips, but solid eyes.
Justin just takes these motions and tells for granted. He sees single high and rips the dig. Not understanding he has nothing to threaten that backside corner, so the single high doesnt have to follow the over route unless he just losses his eye disciple and fails to understand his defensive help. INT Fields.
It's year 5. I just... I don't know what to say anymore. He's as physically capable as any QB in the NFL. Mentally, his football processor and command in real time is training wheels.
I was charting plays for the Browns when I decided to watch some of the Jets offense. It's a cluster from both teams and I'm genuinely torn on which QB played worse.
