      @@louischase994 Like I dunno, telling the media all the teams he'd love to be traded to but only these teams, yet change those teams while playing for a team he is currently contracted for. A fanbase doesn't tend to like you very much when you consistently talk about going anywhere else in public in such a manner.
      Complain about offensive line play quality, but never taking a deal and always taking the shorter deals to maximize profits.
      Utilized a suspiciously lower amount on his supposedly "charitable causes" on the actual causes himself.
      It's been revealed he is also not a great teammate behind closed doors, and that his persona he presents to the media is not the one he actually brings to the table. He is a player that apparently wants very much the credit to be his and to be put in positions that don't benefit the team winning games, but benefit him in terms of receiving that credit. Basically, he likes to pretend in front of the media he's a "its on me, what I could've done better" guy but behind the locker room doors he's very much not in the belief its his fault when things goes wrong, and very much his contribution when things go right.
      People in Denver got rubbed very much the wrong way when he hadn't done a damn thing but they had given him a private office in the Broncos headquarters, and while he kept a "open door" for teammates, it was very clear he was treated in an absurdly special manner. Which is also unlikely to be true as well if what his teammates like Lynch mentioned about Wilson in Seattle in short "You had to go through 'his guys' if you wanted to talk with him." That's extremely bizzare for someone who is not an executive, to treat people as if they have to get privileged to speak with him.
      None of this accounts for the fact he hasn't played well or consistently in years. People view the TD/INT ratio, but not the plays down to down that actually imply if he's a good QB. People who find the things I mentioned abrasive will double down on disliking a guy like that when you're not winning games that matter but getting paid like you do.

I'm not giving up on him completely, largely because he played in Chicago which is notorious for QB's failing instead of excelling...but the needle is leaning in the direction of me being unconvinced that he's a NFL championship caliber QB.

      Yes....but those were moments, that's the key word, and those moments tended to go POOF! in the 4th quarter for reasons I cannot begin to understand and...he reads the field (pun intended) rather poorly. He's yet to demonstrate timely decision making on a consistent basis in regards to following multiple receiver progressions, which was something guys like Brady or Mahomes do (or did) very well.
      Fields is a two-dimensional QB in a 3 dimensional game...I'm not bailing on him yet...but if he shows zero growth in the next year or two in those areas, he's done as a prospective career starter and will become a journeyman backup if he's lucky.

And after his horrendous start to the year he was greatly improved even in a offense that went completely away from his skill set. But him I'm a run 1st, play action, designed roll outs, and designed run plays for him. And I'm sure his confidence will improve as well as his pocket presence.

      ​@@moonytheloony6516 its wild to me that people use +7year old tape to validate Russell Wilsons competancy as a QB. Reality of his situation is that if he was still that player, he would be with Seattle, if he was still even 80% of that player, the Broncos wouldnt be paying him 90million dollars to play elsewhere. Is Russ a better QB than Fields? Yes, probably. Is Fields a better athlete? Yes, by alot. Maybe its recency bias, but alot more current successful offenses revolve around QB mobility(even if not as an outright running threat, but through bootlegs/PA plays, or improvisational play extensions) and that was Russell's strength too, but maybe through age, or a lack of confidence, he has lost that. In my opinion, its more realistic to evaluate/compare these guys based on the last 3 years rather than pretend Russell Wilson is still a perennial pro bowler.
