Week 15 - Eagles @ Bears (+9) Noon FOX

Funny reading other fans (from other teams) opinions on Fields. They've basically determined that Fields is a RB playing QB and that he sucks at passing and needs to drastically improve to stay in the league. I get it the volume isn't there right now but if you've actually watched Bears games this year you'd understand why the volume isn't there and could clearly see Fields improve as a passer over the past 5-6 weeks. I won't argue that he still has room to improve if he wants to be an elite passer, but I've long since stopped worrying that he's never going to develop into a good QB. He's already a good QB and slowly becoming a elite QB.

 

Also with regards to passing volume look at his longest runs in each game. Almost all of them are coming from broken passing plays that are forcing him to run. I don't see him necessarily scrambling too soon in many of them either. The Eagles actually did a really nice job at stopping his designed runs yesterday but they got burned when he tried to scramble.

 

The “he has 3 wins” people on Twitter annoy me more than the “he’s an rb” people. Either way.. don’t read the twitter comments.

Lose out, worst case pick is #2.

Win one, worst case #4

Win two, worst case #8

Win out, worst case #13

 

In each case, there is a set of 4 win, 5 win, and 6 win teams that play eachother, thus raising the floor at each win mark. Plus various games between those groups that will adjust at least one of the floors each game.

 

Time to root for the LA v Denver tie though because each has a pretty high lose-out odds after this week.
