Justin Fields’ Training Camp Numbers Spark Alarming Questions — What’s Really Behind the Decline?

Justin Fields has just landed in New York, sealed by a shiny two-year deal and big promises to build the Jets’ offense around him. Yet here we are—weeks into training camp—and those early glimmers of hope? They’re flickering, if not outright sputtering. The numbers aren’t pretty: 2-for-10, 4-for-16, 2-for-6 with a pick. Ouch. Is this just rookie jitters in a new system, or a stubborn déjà vu of the accuracy struggles that have followed Fields since his days in Chicago? The quarterback’s legs still dazzle when he scrambles, but when it’s arm-time, the flashes aren’t quite there—and New York’s faithful are left wondering: can Fields really shake off this funk before the curtain rises on the season, or is this the beginning of a tough uphill climb that might just define his career?

The New York Jets were quick to sign quarterback Justin Fields early in the offseason.

They gave him a two-year contract and promised to build the offense around him.

However, the early returns haven’t been great.

According to insider Connor Hughes, Fields’ struggles as a passer continue.

In three practices, he’s completed 2 of 10, 4 of 16, and 2 of 6 passes with one interception, via Underdog.

Fields has never been the most accurate passer, and it always takes some time to adjust to a new offense, but this is worrisome nonetheless, even if it’s just training camp.

He doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt anymore because of his history of struggles in the pocket.

He’s a gifted athlete and one of the most dangerous quarterbacks when he rolls out or takes off with his legs, but that’s not the case when he’s asked to make plays with his arm.

From floating passes to failing to read coverage, Fields has failed to improve in the most important aspects of the game.

He’s still relatively young and has the physical tools to be a difference-maker.

It’s also worth noting that he has never been in an offense built around his strengths.

But after watching him struggle with the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers, he will need to get his act together, or this might be the end of the line for him.
