Bayless admits that while Caleb Williams may bring potential, but it’s uncertain if he’ll surpass Fields’ current contribution. Fields, with his dual-threat ability, remains a force to be reckoned with, and perhaps, another team might be a better fit for him. “Caleb Williams will be better than Justin Fields. But, he won’t be worlds better than Justin Fields,” said Skip Bayless while offering his insight on Caleb Williams’ draft by Chicago.
He went on to appreciate Fields’ remarkable athleticism, akin to NFL legend Eric Dickerson‘s running style. However, the question remains whether he possesses elite passing skills. Bayless offered an answer to this question, citing his observation.
“I started to see what I didn’t see before,” Bayless reflected in his comments about Justin Fields. Despite this, Bayless acknowledges Fields’ unique talents and speculates on his potential fit with teams like the Atlanta Falcons, saying,
“Like I couldn’t believe…like a long strider. He would get unleashed and you’d say, ‘My God, that’s hard to deal with’. If you did send him to Atlanta and he does get to connect with Bijon and Drake and Kyle Pitts…Lord have mercy- it would be a sweet fit.”
