I like FROMM and he was very good last year - very impressive. It certainly is fair to want to "wait and see" with FIELDS - I understand why some are skeptical - I am just not skeptical at all as I have been watching him for a long time. On top of the physical skills that are obvious to all, FIELDS is super smart(29 on ACT) and was offered by ivy league schools such as Harvard. Processing the game won't be a problem for FIELDS just the way it wasn't a problem for FROMM.

I don't care which is QB1 when we when our Natty - as long as the DAWGS win one. I just know that Nick Saban and Bama have a much tougher time with the dual-threat QBs that are both smart, athletic and good passers (Hurts is not good passer).

I am convinced that Kirby will make great choices. My expectation is that both QBs will play well and contribute to wins. The old saw about not having a QB if you have two QBs is nonsense.

Like I just said, I was taking issue with the notion that we need someone like Fields to take down Bama when Fromm nearly did that very thing.

Fields might take us to the next level but I'm skeptical to say such things when he hasn't taken a single snap at the college level.

And yes, Hurts is a good passer. He's just not elite by any measure. He was good enough to win the starting job at Alabama as a freshman and win SEC POTY.
