re: Fields will Redshirt (Official Prediction)

If Fromm goes down, you would rather call on a kid with zero snaps to lead the team. I get it

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.

Otherwise, you are saying aloud... I care more about the 2022 season than I do the 2018 season.

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.
