Justin Fields ‘ future seemed tied to the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially after a positive 4-2 record as a starter in 2024.
Although he lost his spot to Russell Wilson, many fans hoped to see him return in 2025 as the team's official starting quarterback.
What looked like a trade of veterans for potential is now turning into a nightmare for the Jets. Since his arrival, Fields has had a difficult practice camp. SNY reporter Connor Hughes reports that in the last three sessions, Fields has completed just 8 of 32 passes, with one interception.
Worrying statistics for a player who is supposed to embody the team's future.

Beyond Fields, it's the entire Jets forward who seems disorganized. Hughes highlighted a failed pass to Braelon Allen, intercepted by Andre Cisco, illustrating the lack of synchronization between the quarterback and his receivers.
So far, his only completed passes have been a screen and a short pass to Garrett Wilson.
Still, Fields remains hopeful.
His 2024 season in Pittsburgh had been solid: 65% pass completions, 5 touchdown passes against just one interception, plus 289 yards on the ground and 5 touchdowns.
If the Jets are to turn things around, they'll need to help their new quarterback regain that form quickly.
In short, let's calm the hair on our legs, there isn't a single game played in the regular season.
