All Fields needs is “more help”
Pretty much this. Fields frankly didn't deserve being built around. He wasn't a good enough QB to build a team around his legs
Can we stop pretending Fields never had anything? He had Moore and Kmet. Both were top 10 at their position. Fields couldn't do much with them. The Raiders hired his former OC and have no QB and you never even heard a peep of a rumor he could go there.
You know who was set up for failure? Mac Jones. No weapons, not even an OC and he flashed some talent in his rookie year. That's the guy who is the real victim.
And Mooney, who just got a nice contract. Fields completely was unable to use this year. There’s no excuse for a truly good quarterback to look bad. Maybe diminished effectiveness on the margins sure. But good quarterbacks show you.
