I shouldnt have to qualify it by pointing out the obvious

When you say he didn't get experience, you have to qualify it or else the statement is false, because he did get experience. A lot of it, in fact. A lot more than a typical backup QB does.

but I was not talking about random backup snaps when speaking about experience, but rather extensive starter snaps.

That's the qualification I was looking for. Thank you.

I agree that he didn't get extensive starter snaps, though he got a lot more than he probably should have (my opinion).

Fromm and Eason both benefited from those snaps as true freshmen. They were allowed to get in the flow of the game, not pressing due to limited snaps, playing with starters, etc.

I agree, but both had different circumstances than Fields did. If Lambert was a high-caliber QB, Eason probably wouldn't have been starting as soon as he did. Likewise for Fromm, if Eason didn't get injured. Tom Brady needed Drew Bledsoe to get injured to show what he could do because he wasn't getting the starting job otherwise. Opportunities don't always show up quickly or often, which is why you need to take advantage of them when they come.
