Also, do you think he’ll be a top rounder early if his first two seasons are spend on mop up duty or with limited reps? He has to beat Fromm to have a chance IMO.
Stafford only had 1 good year.
Cam only had 1 great year.
Yes. The top QB in the 2018 draft class has the potential to 1 and done. He doesn't have to beat out Fromm. He has to be ready for when he is needed.

If Fromm goes down I don’t know that Radom series or mop up duty changes Fields performance under pressure.
If Fromm goes down, you would rather call on a kid with zero snaps to lead the team. I get it. I emphatically disagree. If we want championships, we have to take every edge. Our 2nd stringers can't be a dropoff from the 1st stringers. And to do that, Fields needs to be on the field.
Otherwise, you are saying aloud... I care more about the 2022 season than I do the 2018 season. I promise you... that is not the mentality at Butts-Mehre right now.

Redshirt next year (2019). That gives Fields the film he needs to work with right now. He gets up to speed where he can do what Fromm did in 2017 (improve each week with game reps). And then once he is game-ready, don't burn the redshirt in 2019 unless an injury requires it.
But don't screw up the learning curve. Don't screw up the development. Don't screw the team out of having a QB who can handle the bright lights in a big game because he's already made those rookie mistakes. Make those mistakes in mopup time. Not in the SECCG or college football playoff.

In 2018 regardless of how we work Fields in he’ll have practically zero snaps regardless. Whatever work we give him will make very little impact on him being a freshman or his experience if under pressure.
We’re beating a dead horse here but I do hear what you’re saying and think we’re in a good place regardless of how things work out.

Not at all. I really don’t think Fields can add anything to the 2018 season and if we give Fields reps....they’ll be so limited that they won’t make any difference in his overall development one way or the other. If we give him enough to be meaningful experience we’ll be taking away from a guy that has alepready proven himself....which IMO will hurt the 2018 season...not help it.
I want to win football games. In 2018 I think that’s going to be with Fromm. Moving forward I think that’ll be with Fields having as much eligibility as we can preserve. That’s it.
