Just remember that Lambert "won" the starting job against UNC over Eason the season before. Look how that turned out. It's not where you start, but where you finish. Fromm made the most of his opportunities last season to earn the starting job. Fields did not.

No matter what Field did, he wasnt taking the starting QB spot. No true QB competition because Jake almost beat Bama and our ex OC only used him for read option at the worst times in a game to do it. Dabo handle it the right way, gave both Qbs a chance to prove themselves

Fields did not.

He didn't have much in the way of opportunity. His only legitimate opportunities were in a couple of cupcake games, and he performed incredibly well in those games. Fromm had far more opportunities than Fields ever did. It's hardly a fair comparison. One guy got all the snaps and was handed a starting job because of an injury, the other one barely got any at all, except for the cupcake games and blowouts, which he basically did nothing but hand off. The straw that probably broke the camel's back was not giving him any chance in the LSU game when Fromm was lost. That was enough for him to know he was probably wasting his time here. He wasn't going to sit for three years behind Fromm, and he had no guarantee that Fromm was going pro after his junior year. So I doubt he wanted to take that risk.

All of this guessing about Fields as a QB will be answered a year from now. If he balls out at OSU and looks great, we'll look a bit silly. If he doesn't then it's a moot point.
