Well, half black. And Fields is half as good as an elite QB, so its like comfort food for him.
I think the fraction equation is more difficult than that…

I don't see race being a factor. He was drafted by Chicago and was expected to be the starter. He probably went in there with an attitude like "Yall are going to be my backup, why should I listen to anything yall have to say?" Which is stupid because you have to respect their careers.
It sounds like Mike Tomlin was aware of his attitude which is why as soon as they picked him up he came out and said "Russell is our starting QB". That was Tomlin telling Fields "we are going to give you a chance because you do have the ability to be our QB long term, but you are going to have to sit your arse on the bench and learn from Russell first".
And if he would only listen to black QBs, Russell Wilson would be the least likely black QB he would be willing to learn from just because Wilson is a corny dude who is only black in skin color.
The problem is just Fields himself. Lets see how he handles being the backup and that will tell Pittsburgh whether or not he is worth investing in long term.

Which is why I don't think he will last in Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin has a little bit of that old school mentality. And he isn't going to put his job on the line by giving a jackass with an attitude too many chances just because he has "potential".

Fields "knew he was the best and should be out there," he thought he could've stood to learn from Dalton and Foles.
Lol if he was good he wouldn’t have been let go

Great athlete, not a good QB. Chicago was smart to move off of him.

1) There’s basically one quote from an anonymous former coach, after he’s no longer with the organization, everything else from his time that’s been reported spoke highly of his character.
2) I wouldn’t even be shocked if there was a bit of kernel of truth to it. The whole situation was completely mishandled from the start by the Bears. He wasn’t named the day 1 starter for the season (which maybe could’ve eased any threats if he thought there were any, and opened him up to learning). But he also wasn’t told “you’re our #3 the whole year, learn from these two guys”. It was a pseudo-competition from the start, with Fields the backup to Dalton and ahead of Foles, and then taking over as the starter a few weeks into the season after Dalton was injured. Just very awkward all around.
3) He was beloved in the locker room and by the organization in Chicago though, so even if #2 was true, it was a one-off in his rookie year in a weird situation.
4) And even if #2 is true, it likely has nothing to do with Russ’s, Dalton’s or Foles’s races, but simply Fields being humbled.
Overall, Fields didn’t prove enough, but the indications were that it was all on-field, not off- until coincidentally a few days ago. He could’ve done more to help himself, but he was also put in a terrible situation. Williams is entering about a 1 million times better situation in a number of ways, so we’ll see what happens with him.
ETA: Not a Buckeye fan anymore (despite the name) but a Bears fan.

Fields wouldn’t take advice from Big Dick Nick, Super Bowl MVP that beat Brady twice?

Yes, Georgia is so racist that his sister still went there after that “incident” happened.
He even slipped up in an interview a year or two after he transferred saying how he loved it at Georgia and didn’t really wanna leave.
