re: Fields isn't ready

He hasn’t looked great? He comes in, picks up first downs when he is only allowed to run, has only been allowed to throw the ball twice last night, completed one and got a PI call on the other.

When Fields comes in, the defense knows it’s a run play.

On the season, Fields has completed in vicinity of 70% of his passes and no interceptions and no fumbles.

Fields gets almost no play at all but does OK on his limited play. Kirby is not allowing Fields to look great given the play calls.

Why do you arse-ume you know?

I was looking at stats this morning..

If you remove Tua from the equation, Fromm is:

#1 in completion percentage
#2 in yards per attempt
#1 in qb rating
#1 in TD/INT ratio

This includes his shiiiiit game vs LSU.

Speaking of which, think about that game in hindsight.

Fromm had a bad day, and the whole offense suffered. Severely.

It can be extrapolated that Fromm is more than just a game manager. He makes plays. When Fromm doesn't make plays, we lose.

Why would you take snaps away from him and give them to Justin?


Something else I noticed... purely anecdotal and could just be a coincidence..

My liberal friends seem to be on the Fields train, and my moderate and republican friends all seem to be on the Fromm train.

Other than "republicans are racist", why is this? I have a theory. It's the same reason they commit voter fraud and hate rich people. Liberals have something in their brain that makes them think everything is rigged, success only comes through luck or cheating, so rich people deserve to have their money taken away, and Fromm deserves to sit because his success was just luck from Eason getting hurt, and it's the rest of the team that made him more successful, not his own effort/work/ability...obviously Fields is just as good or better because of his ratings in HS, et cetera. But it's just a theory.

Do you believe that the coaches haven't watched every practice play Fields has made, and observed him in the QB meetings and watched film of his practices? I'm betting Kirby and Chaney have the evidence they need to make the decisions they make.

If this were a court of law, the case would be dismissed because you have NO EVIDENCE at all. All you have is conjecture.

This is perhaps the dumbest thing I have ever read on here.

Fields is struggling with the playbook. Straight out of a player's mouth.

I can tell you from first hand experience that coaching a dual threat QB at the HS level can be a test of patience. Like breaking a bronco you have to get rid of their first instinct which is to pull and run. You have an offensive game plan that you have put hours into and all the sudden you have kid going all improvisation on the field. When it works then you look like a genius.

However when it doesn't its bad. We've had receivers that will be like "frick it" I'm not running my route 100% because he isn't going to stand in the pocket and throw it to me anyway. So they will start to lose faith in the QB. You'll start getting 3 and outs, stalled drives.

Don't get me wrong I love dual threat QBs and the wrinkle that they can bring offensively, and I want Fields to be that guy eventually but understand coaching them is a different kind of beast.

Well CJC sucks anyway. The game has long passed him by. He can’t adapt and adjust plays to the players of today.

Yep. His red zone and goal line plays suck shite. And this run, run, pass crap has to stop too. Not only that, when they are stacking the LOS with 8-9 guys, why is the fatass taking our RBs up the middle? Fricking no game play imagination whatsoever. Hope Kirby fires his arse next year.
