re: Is Mathis looking better than Fields did last spring?*

I’m fine with Fields being gone. I feel like he was a distraction to our team. But to say Mathis is a better QB is legitimately dumb. Go watch his film. He has poor fundamentals, and isn’t as good of a runner or thrower as Fields.

Fields earned the publicity that he held in high school.

But that doesn't make him a better QB than Mathis. If a QB can't get past his first read, that is a serious challenge to the offense. And a less talented thrower can be more effective.

As for running, Mathis is much quicker and faster. He probably is better scrambling from the pocket than Fields. Fields is a better goal line threat (which is a big plus to Fields' game. Hell... he was probably our best goalline weapon in 2018).
