With his string of strong performances, has Justin Fields proven he’s the best QB of the 2021 class? jfmckessy breaks down Fields' big day against the Dolphins. DaBears
may have established himself as the best quarterback in the 2021 NFL Draft class. If nothing else, the last few weeks of NFL action must have some of the teams that passed on him questioning that decision.
It hasn’t always been an easy time for Fields in his first two seasons as a pro, but he has really come into his own as both a runner and a passer over the last couple of weeks. Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy has figured out how to take full advantage of his young quarterback’s mobile skill set, Fields is starting to show signs of positive development and the result has been one of the most consistently good stretches of Fields’ career.
The culmination of it all came on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, as Fields ran and passed his way to what was perhaps his best professional start. The second-year quarterback finished the day with 123 passing yards and three touchdowns in the air along with 178 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown on the ground. In doing so, Fields broke the previous NFL record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in a regular season game, one previously held by Michael Vick.
Fields deserves a ton of credit for the progress he’s made as an NFL quarterback this season. His decision-making has improved considerably over the course of this season alone and his playmaking ability has reached new heights accordingly. With a poor—albeit improving—offensive line in front of him, knowing when to stay with a play and attempt a throw downfield and when to take off with his legs was always going to be the key to Fields’ success as a mobile quarterback.
Fields’ first touchdown of the day was largely thanks to a great play call by Getsy and a phenomenal play fake by Fields. As a team that has run the ball 60% of the time this season, the Bears have set up play-action nicely, allowing Fields to thrive off of it.
