It only took 3 seasons before the NFL wrote Zach Wilson off as a bust. His first 2 seasons were not good, but then again, the Jets were terrible, not sure if Joe Montana could have performed any better with that offensive line. He made significant improvement in his 3rd season but it wasn't enough, he'll likely never get another shot and it look like he will be relegated to a career 3rd stringer role. It's Field's 5th season and his career numbers are very comparable to Wilson's 3rd season but the NFL decided Wilson didn't merit more playing time to see if he could build on that 3rd season. Field's has been in much better situations than Wilson was in but for the most part, has been only marginally better. If he were White, would he have been written off already? I suspect so. Sports analysts and fans like to claim that White athletes get more hype and attention than black ones do and I do think there is some truth to that. However, there is a converse because White athletes also get slammed much harder by critics and fans than black ones if they don't perform up to expectations. I wonder if coaches and owners don't want to deal with the backlash against White athletes and are willing to give up on them faster.
black qbs get extra chances no doubt,possibly due to the hype they get as,supposedly,better athletes than Whites. Possibly due to coaches and general managers being afraid of racism charges. They give extra time to the blackie to show that he can't figure out a defense--beyond a reasonable doubt. That's what happened to Fields in Chicago--three years. It's what's happening to #1 pick Williams in Chicago,the last 20 games too
