Which 3rd-year QB must perform? Justin Fields, Trey Lance, or Mac Jones Jun 08, 2023

Show notes

Quarterbacks from the 2021 NFL Draft class are entering important stages of their careers. Justin Fields has to show improvement and growth in 2023 to prove he is the unquestioned QB1 for the Chicago Bears franchise for years to come. DP believes it is playoffs or bust for New England Patriots QB Mac Jones. Whose fault is it, Jones or Bill Belichick for the lack of weapons? Trey Lance has no other choice than to defeat Brock Purdy in training camp to remain on the San Francisco 49ers roster. Does he have the most pressure of all the 3rd year QBs? Keith certainly believes so.
