"The interesting piece is the difference in backups with Fields and Minshew. From a rating perspective, I have them rated very similar — and maybe that's doing a disservice to Fields, but he's never lived up to the potential some people thought he had out of Ohio State."

Fields rated similarly to Minshew; hasn't lived up to Ohio State potential.

Fields is the backup to Patrick Mahomes with the Chiefs. One oddsmaker noted that Fields is rated very similarly to Gardner Minshew from a rating perspective, and added: "Maybe that's doing a disservice to Fields, but he's never lived up to the potential some people thought he had out of Ohio State. Backing up Mahomes could be the best thing ever to happen to Fields." The oddsmaker's assessment suggests Fields has underperformed expectations but could benefit from a mentorship role behind Mahomes.
