Tua's PA and RA (x/x) by opponent (regular season):

Fresno St. 9/3 (41-10)
CSU 4/0 (41-23)
Vandy 10/1 (59-0)
Ole Miss 5/4 (66-3)
Mercer 11/3 (56-0)
Arkansas 2/0 (41-9)
10RC 12/4 (45-7)


The final score of each game is in parentheses. Look at those scores.

I emboldened the SEC teams because obviously they do deserve some recognition.

Notice he only played in four SEC games. All of them against bad teams. Notice. FSU, LSU, aTm, Miss St., and Auburn are not on that list.

Now you tell me, how many meaningful plays did he actually have?

Just for arguments sake I will conceed to you the plays he had in the closest SEC game in which he played.

2/0. Let that sink in to your ears.

Now, it's your turn to make an actual argument how any of the other plays were meaningful. Or even how any of them where meaningful, for that matter.

Your reasoning sure would have come in handy for uga last year. If tua was essentially redshirted, I doubt saban plays him vs uga, and if he did pull the shirt, the reduced load of practice reps and removal of live reps would have rendered him less prepared to do enough to beat us. Now, why do you think smart is gonna ignore that? Saban was no dummy and smart has learned everything from him.

The team only has to win by 1 point. Anything that gets you 1 extra point is an advantage. No?
There is no practice that can replace live repititions. Even mopup duty is better than practice because 4 to 5 opponents are trying to kill you on each snap.

Unless you have a comment from Tua stating that those reps are meaningless,you have to presume that he reviewed them with coaches and they pointed out things which helped his development. Whether it is a presnap read, identifying a coverage disguise, going through progressions, carrying out a fake after a handoff, and form (footwork in the pocket and on the move).

How argumentative do you have to be to persist on a stance that film review of yourself is not productive? Have you played a sport? Did you ever watch film on yourself?

Besides helping to win games in 2018 for Fields if he is ever called upon, the offseason is much better having that film. All of these QBs have personal coaches. It is difficult for a personal coach to give meaningful advice without any game film to review. Mechanics often break down with pressure and stress. This is an 8 month advantage for Fields next off season to work specified drills to correct things that take multiple reps. My goal is to get him better as fast as possible. I'm more worried about winning games in 2018 and 2019. I will worry about 2023 later. Hopefully, a redshirt opportunity for 2019 could happen if Fromm stays healthy. But if Fromm has a knee injury, I want Fields at his best in 2019. A great offseason helps that end result.
