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. Backing up Mahomes could be the best thing ever to happen to Fields.
