the Pittsburgh Post Gazette mentioned that he was inconsistent in OTAs and mini camp practices from what I saw Fields had a month of spring training and while he's an incredible athlete the criticisms about him proved to be true he's not very accurate with the ball his pass placement isn't the best and I see this team as Russell Wilson's team Nick faraba also from Steelers now pointed out that this inconsistency from Fields was most apparent in the intermediate range on short and long throws he was okay but in the middle of the field especially outside the numbers he was all over the place
