Plenty of people are down on Justin Fields these days. After what happened during his rookie season and a somewhat underwhelming 2022 off-season, the belief is the former 11th overall pick is destined for another rough year. Some have predicted he'll lead the league in interceptions. Some fear the Chicago Bears are ruining him. His chances for success in the NFL are all but gone. Not everybody is so pessimistic. Jason Peters is one of them.
The future Hall of Fame left tackle spent last season with the Bears. He had a front-row seat for Fields' arrival in the starting lineup and the subsequent mayhem. Remember, this guy played with Pro Bowlers like Donovan McNabb and Carson Wentz. He has seen what the good QBs look like. After seeing Fields last year, one would think he'd have a low opinion of the kid. That doesn't seem to be the case. Peters says it may take some time, but if the Bears can get their offensive line figured out, there is no doubt Fields can be special in his mind. He said so on SiriusXM NFL Radio.

Jason Peters knows what he is talking about.
Fields did improve over the course of last season. His passer rating when from 64 to 84 between the first and second halves of the ten games he started. That is a significant improvement. It also probably isn't a coincidence that Fields had some of his best games when the offensive line blocked well.- Pittsburgh: 291 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT (9 pressures allowed)
- Las Vegas: 111 yards, 1 TD, 0 INTs (5 pressures allowed)
- Minnesota: 285 yards, 1 TD, 0 INTs (15 pressures allowed)
