Justin Fields makes the Jets Great!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Justin Field's got a new deal two years, forty million
dollars and he will be the starting quarterback for the
New York Football Jets in twenty twenty five. Rumors having
that he was in several talks with other teams, including
the Pittsburgh Steelers, before signing with the Jets with the
two year, forty million dollars deal. Guys, is Justin Fields
to the New York Jets a great move? Is it

(00:22):
a great signing? Does that get you excited? Does that
move the needle in New York? Now? Guys, Justin Fields
was a pretty damn good college quarterback. There's a reason
why Justin Field was drafted in the first round. There's
a reason why Justin Fields is getting yet another opportunity
and getting a pretty good pay day. Let's just be

(00:42):
flat out honest. Twenty million dollars this season and nothing
is needs about Justin Fields. Joins back up with his
college teammate Garrett Wilson in New York where they made
a lot of huge plays. Now, I'm not saying that
I expect a lot of big plays right off the bat,
but I'm saying the Jets are not in a horrible spot.
The Jets have a lot of nice little pieces around them, right,

(01:04):
nice little pieces around them. Their defense clearly is a
staple on the team right now. They finished third overall
in defensive category last season, despite having a few meltdowns
in some of the games last season. The office needs
some work. That's why they added Justin Fields. Justin Fields
plus Garrett Wilson plus Alan Lazard plus the seventh over
draft pick. Maybe Travis Hunter could be a little bit dangerous.

(01:28):
Right now, they still have the seventh overall draft pick.
They could draft a tie tie the Tyler Warren, the
tied end from uh UH. Or they could draft some offense,
a line light help in Josh Simmons from the Ohio
State University. Now, guys, the Jets are realistically a few
players away. Let's just be a thought of arts. The

(01:49):
Jets are realistically a few players away. For a p
kiddie with the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East. Now
is Justin Fields that guy potentially, But let's just be honest.
Justin Field's NFL career has not gone off to a
great start. Eighteen hundred yards passing his first season, twenty
two hundred yards the following season, twenty five hundred yards
his third season and last year eleven hundred yards, forty

(02:11):
five total touchdowns to eleven interception. He has an average
QBR of forty eight, and he takes a lot of sacks.
Takes a lot of sacks. But the simple fact of
the matter is this is not a needle mover yet
in New York, much like Gino Smith to the Raiders
is not a needle mover yet. But now instead of

(02:31):
thinking that your glass is half empty, now your glass
is half full. Justin Fields adds a little optimism in
New York. Justin Fields adds a lot of youth, a
lot of muster, a lot of prove it in New York.
And not only that, they are boosted up the office
of line just a little bit, because they also just
picked up a Texans office line as well. I'm not

(02:52):
seeing the offensive line and it is great by you.
Stretch on the magest think he was sixty eighth like
all overall in his particular category. But the Jets are
making some moves. So, guys, what do you think is
the Justin Fields signing to the New York Football Jets
a great move? Alf Robb says it is a great

(03:13):
signing by the Jets. It's a two year guarantee win
for the Buffalo Bills. Now for ABA wants you to
slow it down, Baby, slow it down the Buffalo Bills.
We're gonna be talking about your Buffalo Bills and the
what the segment we'll be talking about you. John says,
I like it, but it takes away from Hall. I

(03:35):
do not think it takes away from Breece Hall at all.
Matter of fact, I think it adds to the Breese
Hall saga. Right, Breece Hall was his great his rookie season.
I think he end up turned his aco toward the
end of the of the season, right. He came back.
Then they relied on him a lot. He kind of
crumbled because there's no passing game. Yes, Aaron Rodgers was

(03:57):
the top ten quarterback stat wise in the NFL, but
he was not very good. Let's just be flat, honestly,
stack in the box that Aaron Roders couldn't push the
ball down the field. Now, I'm not saying justin fields
will push them down ball the ball down the field repetitively.
But he gives you that ability. He gives you that
ability to spread the field and to scramble if needed. Plus,
Breese Hall can eat a little bit right once he

(04:20):
starts to bring in people in the box like they
did in Chicago. Justin Fields can't push the ball down
the field a little bit. Old Man Rivers says time
will tell, but I do not think so, Old Man River.
We don't agree on a lot of things. We don't
see to eye on a lot on a lot a
lot of things. But I think you are correct. Justin Fields,

(04:43):
much like DeAndre Hopkins to the Baltimore Ravens, is exciting.
It is an attention grabbing headline. Two years, forty million
dollars right, the just finally got their quarterback. Truth be told.
He's a bridge gap guy. Truth be told. He is
on a one year proved deal to basically not suck.

(05:04):
The Jets super Bowl window is not existent as of
right now. Whether Divas is pretty good if they can
add some Travis Hunter potentially in like in the draft,
the Jets couldn't make a big turn in this year's
n or an AFC. We will see. John says Field
is mobile, He's not a great passer. In Justin Field's defense, John,

(05:26):
he has not had much time to prove that he
is a good passer right in college. His biggest knock
for Justin Fields that he was a one read type
of guy. It was read and boom he is opened,
whether it's to a Garrett or whether it's to whoever
else that was out there. Wide receiver. You there for

(05:48):
like a little while, but one read, boom he is there.
In Chicago, he was forced to progress right. He was
forced to do this, and he was never coached up
to do that properly. Now, maybe in New York he
can finally be coached up. Maybe spending a year under
Rust and Mike Tommin and that system gives them a
chance to really learn right. Sit back and relax. Jim

(06:10):
pal says, a Jets off his line could easily have
been bad as the Raiders if they got one. Fields
has no ceiling and Jim, you are right. Let's flash
back to two years ago. I sat here on the show.
I think, Jim you were here, John, you were here,
Alfa Rob you were definitely here. I sat across from

(06:31):
my man B. C. Colmes, b C. Combs, a big
Chicago Bears fan. He was like, Justin Fields needs out
of town. I feel bad for Justin Field. Get him
out of town and trade him, do whatever you whatever
you want. And Baci said at the time, Justin Fields
on any other team, this is his third year, going
into his third year on him Justin Fields meeting Justin

(06:52):
Fields on any other team as a super Bowl caliber quarterback.
At the time, it was the Falcons and potentially the Steelers.
Like at the time, I think he threw out another
team like the Tempa be a Buccaneer. And I still
think to this day that Justin Fields has that capability
of being the top ten quarterback. He has a chance,
right And John says, I agree, never really had a line.

(07:19):
It's tough. It's tough. It's tough. It's tough.
