Notable Quotes

The Justin Fields Conundrum (08:09–20:00)

Key Points

• O-Line and Coaching: Challenges with protection and inexperience in the system are impeding Fields’ growth.
• Discussion on Weapons: Debate on whether Fields could thrive with elite receivers like Ja’Marr Chase or Justin Jefferson; acknowledgment that current Jets’ weapons don’t elevate the QB.

Notable Quotes

• Shannon on Fields' Processing:
  "It seems like he's got a dial-up service. He ain't got that 5G... The number one thing is, how well do you download information and how quickly can you disseminate it?" (16:00)
• Ocho on Receiver Impact:
  "You put a Ja’Marr Chase or a Justin Jefferson, any of the top tier receivers on that team... it looks completely different because they can overcome for all the woes that Justin Fields may be having." (18:08)
