Forget the brown paper bags, anyone have some toilet paper?
Despite the Jets seven straight losses to start the 2025 season, New York's media is loose. No discomfort here, everything feels right.
The reason is that the team's quarterback Justin Fields is "cool" and "at peace", which is really good news.
He recently told USA Today: "I know y'all want me to say stuff here and there but it's just like, that's what it is. I know y'all are going to keep asking to get me to say something but like, I'm truly at peace ... I'm cool."Tremendous, Justin. Can I top up your Gatorade, buddy? Get you a foot rub. As long as you're cool with playing football like you've never actually seen one.
Seriously? Justin Bieber could do a better job of making a pass. Heck, Justin Bieber could do a better job of sounding convincing.
But under the circumstances I guess it's best you act like this no big thing.
Let's look at the numbers.
With a solid 31 QBR (quarterback rating), as per ESPN, Fields must be confident that he can turn things around. Yeh, that's it.
At the end of the day, 31 is only 50 points lower than the top QBRs this season set by Dak Prescott, Daniel Jones and Patrick Mahomes, each close to 80. So, I guess he's on track ... sort of.
While we're keeping tabs, remember that QBR measures a quarterback’s overall impact on the game. It considers passing, rushing, sacks taken, penalties drawn, and even clutch moments during critical play.Given these factors, things are looking up for the Jets. Think about it. Fields has completed 55% of his passes in his last five games, thrown 3 touchdowns and hit passes at an average of 4.7 yards.
So stay cool, everyone. He's go this.
