So when Aaron Rodgers slid......no one wanted to mention that it was because he played for Jeff Tedford and his QB's had been doo doo in the NFL up to that point. Rodgers very well could have ended up just like that had he not landed with GB and Mike McCarthy.

When Rodgers got to the NFL he was releasing the ball by his ear and his mechanics needed alot of work. McCarthy got 3 years to break him down and remake him and because Rodgers was such a great piece of clay to work with he turned into a HOFer.

Look at what happened with Steve Young and Steve McNair.

Fields is almost exactly this kind of case. He needs to go somewhere with someone who can work with him and he needs probably a year to sit. It would almost be best for him to slide to a team and sit behind a vet for a year or two like Mahomes.

What they're doing to him in the media is ridiculous and it's this kind of narrative that lets you know who's still pulling strings out there.
