Fields' Jets contract aged poorly; he posted a QBR of 38.7 and was benched midseason after the Jets gave him a two-year deal with $30 million in guarantees to leave Pittsburgh. JJ Zachariason argues the organizational failure was compounded by the Jets refusing to tailor their conventional offense to Fields' skill set (designed runs, RPOs, simplified concepts) despite knowing his limitations as a pocket passer. Fields was then dealt to Kansas City in the offseason, with the Jets absorbing most of the salary to escape the mistake. Zachariason concludes Fields was never good enough to be a quality starting NFL quarterback and regressed predictably under those conditions, representing a massive organizational whiff from top to bottom.

Justin Fields posted a QBR of 38.7 in 2024 and was benched midseason. The Jets signed him to a two-year deal with $30 million in guarantees after the Aaron Rodgers experiment failed, but the deal 'aged poorly.' Zachariason argues the Jets failed to tailor their offense to Fields' strengths as a dynamic runner; instead, they ran him at a lower rate than his previous teams (Chicago and Pittsburgh), didn't lean into simplified concepts, and surrounded him with journeymen receivers (Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson) rather than quick separators suited to his limitations as a pocket passer. Fields was then traded to Kansas City in the offseason, with the Jets absorbing most of the salary to escape the mistake.
