Comparing Justin Fields and Aaron Rodgers stats over last five weeks

Justin Fields and Aaron Rodgers are having drastically different 2022 seasons

Let’s first take a look at each player’s total stats. This is going to easily show Aaron Rodgers has had a better season. Justin Fields struggled in the beginning of the year. He was holding the ball too long and taking unnecessary sacks. He was missing open reads and struggled to hit short to intermdiate routes. Some fans and many analysts spoke poorly of the second-year quarterback.

Not enough people realized he had not started a full seasons worth of games until Week 7. By then, his season had started to take a turn for the better. You can tell the game is starting to slow down for him. This doesn’t mean he’s guaranteed to become elite, but he’s definitely trending in the right direction.
