00:03 The issue now with Justin Fields is this.

00:05 Why is he struggling, Kevin?

00:07 From a talent standpoint, he should be top 10.

00:11 Arm, size, athleticism, he's got everything

00:13 you would look for in a first round quarterback.

00:16 Leadership, okay, you could question that.

00:19 For him to take the shot at the coaches,

00:21 then obviously someone got in his ear, Kevin,

00:24 and then he changed his tune later in the day

00:26 after making those original comments.

00:28 And let's face it, he has been a disappointment.

00:30 And I understand Ryan Pouls, the general manager,

00:32 didn't draft him, so there's no allegiance

00:34 to this quarterback, but they wanna get

00:35 a full evaluation of him.

00:37 There's really no one else they could turn to.

00:39 He's gotta be that guy.

00:41 But look, it has not happened here.

00:42 Now, I understand this is the second offense

00:44 he's had to learn since he was drafted three years ago,

00:46 but the bottom line is he's severely underachieved.

00:49 Pouls has done all he can to surround him with talent.

00:52 So now it's really on the quarterback.

00:53 They have a couple offensive line injuries.

00:55 They haven't been able to run the ball very well,

00:56 but here's the thing, also it's puzzling.

00:59 There were a ton of design runs from last season,

01:01 very few this season, which is ridiculous

01:03 considering how dynamic he was with his legs.

01:06 But Kevin, they drafted him to pass the football.

01:09 He's been a well below average passer so far,

01:12 so things have to pick up.

01:13 And it's not gonna be easier today,

01:17 on the road, in a hostile environment at Kansas City.

01:19 And by the way, one of the most underrated,

01:21 really, secondaries in football with those Chiefs.
