CBS analyst COMPLETELY disrespects Justin Fields
Jason La Canfora of CBS ranked every team's quarterback by tiers. It was probably the worst list I have ever seen in my life. I have no idea how he can have a job in sports media and make such bad lists.
He had Justin Fields ranked in the "Good Luck" category. Good luck as in: those guys are horrible. This is absolutely ludicrous. How can you rank Fields in that category and put Zach Wilson, Trevor Lawrence, Trey Lance and Davis Mills in the tier above called "The Jury still out" and say that we should give them time. You want to give time to those second-year QBs that played worse than Justin but you say that Fields has no chance of being good? That's completely absurd.
Here are the others QBs that were ranked in the same category of Fields.
Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, Drew Lock, Daniel Jones, Justin Fields, Marcus Mariota, Sam Darnold, Mitch Trubisky.
Here was his description of this tier:
This is no man's land. Many a former top pick represented here. It's where over-drafted QBs go to head to expiration. Some much sooner than ever. False hopes and dreams galore here, folks.
Most of these guys won't be starting by this time next year. Many will be out of the starting gig by midseason. But for now, they sit atop the depth chart and likely will when Week 1 rolls around, too. I feel horribly for Fields, who has such a bereft supporting cast around him that one might wonder if the front office wants him to fail. The Giants had no choice but not to pick up the fifth-year option on Jones, but that may also just serve to bring out the worst in him.
I don't see Wentz turning anything around in Washington. Goff is just biding his time due to his bloated contract. Darnold looked downright broken a year ago. Mariota is never healthy for long.
Do better Jason La Canfora, do better...
Does that look like a guy who will be out of a job next season?
