Justin Fields may have captured the imagination of Bears fans but writers from FanNation’s websites want to see more before they’ll be convinced he’s even a middle-of-the-pack passer.
Fields finished 25th in quarterback power rankings in a poll of FanNation publishers who cover NFL teams. His highest ranking was 19th. He had two votes for 19th, and his lowest vote was 30th.
Sunday’s opener at Soldier Field isn’t exactly a must-see from a quarterback rating standpoint because 49ers quarterback Trey Lance is ranked 27th.
His highest vote was 16th and he also had a 17th. He had three votes for 30th and three for last, No. 32.
Patrick Mahomes was ranked first, Josh Allen second and Aaron Rodgers third.
Tampa Bay 45-year-old quarterback Tom Brady is ranked fourth, even after missing a big chunk of training camp for unexplained reasons.
Two youngsters, Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert, were tied for fifth and Super Bowl winner Matthew Stafford seventh.
Here are the rankings and their average position:
