A backup is just a backup....he is not entitled to anything. Practice throughout the season and competition in preseason aka more practice dictated that Fromm would remain as the starter and Fields would be the backup. If he had established himself or performed better he would have been the starter. It does not matter how high profile a recruit you are you are not entitled anything .....to think otherwise is ludicrous. I believe that he is a prima Donna and his daddy was meddling on overdrive most teams backups don’t see the field , high profile or not, the country is littered with 4 or 5 star recruits on the bench that haven’t earned playing time yet. Alabama and Clemson are rare and unique situations the other 99% have their backs ups not see the field unless injury or mop up duty. This kid and his dad feel was entitled to the job without earning it, if he had earned it he would have been on the field as the starter. Kirby I believe was trying to keep him and daddy happy by allowing him spot duty here and there, but he wasn’t ready to run the full offense more than likely and even if he was he more than likely had not proved he could run it more efficiently and effectively than Fromm. Seems you do not understand how football works or just believe in entitlement

So, Fields, in your opinion, didn't earn the right to run the full offense. But, he earned the right to be put in the game awkwardly with no packages for him to run and very few passing plays for him? Even if Fields was to stay Kirby and co. had completely mishandled him because if you are going to burn a year of his eligibility at least do yourself and your team a favor by developing his skills once he's in the game. People like you and Kirby think you're doing something but all you're doing is screwing yourself. You know Kirby done f-ed right?
