Sports radio callers and Twitter trolls alike criticized Justin Fields' TDs as lacking style, but there's no extra points for degree of difficulty.

But that's exactly what some were doing with Justin Fields' two touchdown passes in Saturday's preseason game against the Titans. Complaints! The degree of difficulty wasn't up to some peoples liking.These aren't just sports radio callers -- who I happen to LOVE -- or Twitter trolls -- who I dislike ...

I have read criticism about Fields' touchdown throws from football people who have covered the sport for years.Let's start at the top.It prompted my radio partner and former Bears fan favorite Tom Waddle to rip off Joe Maddon and say that Fields needs to"do simple better":• Make your layups.by signing up you agree to our terms of service Fields will get into a rhythm and gain confidence.

So, with that checklist as the development backdrop, Fields hits his BFF DJ Moore on his third play from scrimmage on a screen and it goes 62 yards for a touchdown. The guy that Ryan Poles had to have in the trade for the No. 1 overall pick just showed Bears fans in his first offensive series how incredible he's going to be, and we've got a bunch of football Karens over the length of the TD pass.

On his second touchdown pass, Fields wisely did not run, but scrambled within the pocket, and found Khalil Herbert on the screen for a 56-yard touchdown pass. Don't get hit when you don't have to. Don't take a risk when you don't have to. Herbert is a former sixth-round pick who makes less than a million dollars. And in a landscape where star running backs are fighting with their teams over their worth, Poles has put together a running back room the way it's supposed to be in 2023. Yet, instead of focusing on any of the above, some wanted to discredit Fields once again for the length over pass through the air.Two catches. Two long runs after the catch. Nope.
