re: Fields will Redshirt (Official Prediction)

I don't see any issues with FROMM being able to navigate the DAWGS through most of their schedule - but when you are facing the bully - BAMA - you need a QB that can take over a game both passing and running.

In fairness, Hurts was supposed to be this way and we held him in check during the NCG. That helmet deflection INT was the difference in the game. They got momentum back and took it from there. We got too conservative and paid for it in the end. We still almost beat them with Fromm.

Fields is still an unknown until he hits the field. It's obvious he's got something special going on but just as Fromm wasn't going to be put in a position to win games unless Eason went down, so too will Fields be held out from anything significant until Fromm shows he can't get it done. If he plays, Fields will be put in to mix things up and play games with the opponents. He's not going to be called on to win us any games unless Fromm loses the job.
