Jackson easily. This one isn't close.

He is a top 5 QB when on the field with a better arm and can still run like the wind. Jackson also has better weapons and the new system should help him.

Fields ran for his life last year and while he has plenty of upside he isn't nearly as proven.

Fields or the guy you hope Fields becomes

One guy was one of the worst passers in the league his first two years and put up a half season of good fantasy play. The other one MVP and had one of the best fantasy seasons ever his first two years

Jackson. It's always easy to forget how elite an asset has been like Jackson after a tough season. No one has his upside or has proven it more.

Lamar, and not close. He's got a contract, and an MVP season that showed his actual ceiling. Fields has an audition year.

While I agree it’s jackson, his arm is not better than JF. A bigger arm, sure, but his mechanics and accuracy aren’t close to Fields. Lamar is incredibly inaccurate downfield and his footwork is brutal to watch. The issue with Justin is his pocket awareness and his propensity to hold the ball too long.

I mean, this is objectively wrong. You can argue about mechanics, sure. Fields is a career 59.7% passer. Lamar is a career 63.7% passer. He has one year with a completion percentage less than Fields best year. So to say it isn’t close is a little off base.

I will give you Fields having better deep ball accuracy. But even he was T-22nd in the league in that category. Not exactly great himself.
