There is one fundamental truth about professional sports. It doesn’t matter how well you play. There will always be somebody ready and willing to tear you down, even if their reasons are suspect. Justin Fields has played excellent football for the past month. He’s carried a mostly average cast of players on that Chicago Bears offense to 30 points per game and finished last Sunday with 301 total yards and four touchdowns. Anybody with eyes saw he was in complete control. Don’t bother telling that to LeSean McCoy.
The former Pro Bowl running back was the equivalent of Jim Carrey in ‘Dumb & Dumber’ plugging his ears and trying not to listen. He appeared on FS1 and openly stated the Bears quarterback isn’t anything special. His primary reasoning? Fields can’t throw the ball. All of his success comes from running. He only threw for 70 yards in a game, he’s the reason they’ve lost their last three games, and all of his success can be attributed to opposing coaches being dumb.
It was quite a rant to behold.
LeSean McCoy outed himself with that one.
He clearly didn’t watch the actual games. He’s another analyst who looked at the stat sheet and made an immediate assumption. First of all, that 70-yard game was back in Week 2 when he only threw 11 passes. They did not, in fact, lose their last three games. Fields beat New England in Week 7 with 261 total yards and two touchdowns. It was the most points Bill Belichick’s defense had surrendered all year. Fields has thrown 8 touchdowns with just two interceptions in the past five games.

Saying he can’t throw the ball is a wildly inaccurate statement. He only has 20 fewer passing yards during that stretch than Lamar Jackson, with a higher passer rating. You don’t see LeSean McCoy calling him out. It isn’t Fields’ fault the defense and special teams allowed a combined 77 points over the past two weeks. It’s not his fault Ihmir Smith-Marsette fumbled, Velus Jones muffed punts, Darnell Mooney couldn’t secure a game-winning TD that hit him in the hands, or that Equanimeous St. Brown let an easy throw go right through his hands.
McCoy didn’t even bother trying with that take. He picked the lane that required minimal effort and ran with it.
@David don’t bring your horseshit politics in to the conversation. It’s always this guy who can’t put a cognitive thought together without mentioning politics. Get lost D bag
Ask him about how tf his man Jalen Hurts was looking in his second year.
Lesean is starting to look like Maurice Jones Drew
Keep drinking that Haterade bro. Justin lives in that fat head of yours rent free. LOL
