It is not a question of whether Fields is a franchise QB. It is a question of competition. Russell Wilson gets hurt and Fields steps in. He looked a little slow getting started this season but today, he had 3 great drives against the Colts. I certainly wish the Giants had him instead of Lock.
If Pittsburgh can't stop teams like they did historically through the first three games, they won't win many games.
Not to say Lock is any good, either. Giants will draft a kid next year and you start over. Not deal with retreads.
Nobody here wanted to go after Fields and he has not been good with the Steelers.
He may have gotten you some fantasy points today, but they lost today.

Oh, like the Jets gave up on Darnold and the Browns on Mayfield?
Neither Fields or Wilson is probably a long-term answer, but with the minimal investment they're smart additions.

Fields isn't a great QB, but he's been pretty good for Pittsburgh.
He had some mishaps today with the snaps, but he threw for 300+, a passing TD, 9+ YPA, 2 running TDs, no INTs. And he put up 24 on the road. He did lose a fumble on a freaky situation.

Nobody here wanted Fields OR Mayfield. BBI is where people come to learn how to be a Monday Morning General Manager.

Uh, that's wrong. Those guys, especially Fields, were brought up often as possible acquisitions.
fields hasnt even been that good. the giants would be 1-3 or 0-4 with him.
he would have saved them $4m over lock though.
Problem with Giants front office is they HATE a QB "controversy" even if it's in the best interest of the team....
Remember how quickly Lock had to re-explain himself to media after he said the giants signed him to compete for the starting job.... Next day he said just kidding im the back up.
The front office didn't want to deal with a Justin Fields "controversy" to start so instead they sat tight with Daniel dink and dunk.

I absolutely wanted Fields for a 6th. An elite athlete with promising talent at the most difficult position to fill on the field? We have no competition or competence at that position for years? Sign me up! What the Bears did is meaningless. They’re a disaster.
