Fields hasn’t even had to throw to anyone who’s been covered remotely covered yet. If you watch him, he has one read, knows what the target is before its snapped and looks at no one else. He also doesn’t change the play or adjust unless its called from the sideline. He runs very, very well. He is a physical freak who is playing on a very talented team who hasn’t been tested in the least.

I've noticed that from reviewing his film for the first several games of the season. His receivers are generally open without a defender within 5 yards of them. He does make some really good throws but he doesn't seem to have been remotely challenged yet this season.
Fields is perfect for the offensive system that Ohio State uses.

The whole Fields vs Fromm thing is already extremely boring and we're only 5 weeks into the season.
Fields is good and Ohio St is good.
Fromm is good and Georgia is good.
Past that, who cares?

We need a sticky thread called "Justin, Jacob, and a pack of Doral's" where we can shepherd all this shite that will go on forever.

I don’t understand why people get so mad about this. He wanted to go somewhere he had a better opportunity to play and make a living going forward.
I don’t think it was handled well, but why is it such a big deal he’s scared of competition?

Agreed. People are gonna be talking about this for the next 10 years

College football wins when really talented QBs play instead of one sitting. As a UGA fan I would prefer to have two talented QBs on my team with one in reserve. Didn't happen but it's not hard to deal with.

Exactly right. We'll see what he is made of when he does.
It's like everyone forgets just how bad he looked last season with even a slight amount of pressure and/or his first read covered.
I've watched some tOSU this season and I still see the same tendencies, it's just that the defenses he's played against aren't talented enough to apply that coverage and pressure throughout an entire game. When you get pressured only 5 times in a game and all 5 result in sacks or incompletions, well, his stat line still looks amazing. Change that to 25-30 times a game, as he'd see against competent competition, and those stat lines are going to absolutely PLUMMET.

All of this justification is pathetic. YES, in our dumb little system where we aren't creative, Justin Fields had problems. It's not a question as to whether Fields or Fromm is a better fit for Georgia, it's a question of which guy gives the UGA program a higher ceiling and a more dominant offense.
As I've said a million times, you give the ball to your talent and figure the scheme out later. Our coaches are millionaires, they're paid to develop offensive systems that take advantage of our talent gap.
Fields is an example of how our coaching staff FAILED.

At UGA he completed 70% of his passes and scored 8 TDs with 0 interceptions. There is absolutely nothing to what you're saying.

Last year Fields had a higher completion percentage and a higher percentage of Fields' passes were TDs. Fields never turned the ball over--Fromm did.
The contention that Fields looked bad has always been racially-motivated bullshite. Unbiased observers who saw Fields last year are not at all surprised how he is performing for OSU. One more thing, Fields still has yet to turn the ball over in college.

Against LSU? You may have left too if you thought you were better than the starter and your coach didn't give you a shot that game.

Well that's just not true...
Nor is claiming that any criticism for Fields is racially motivated. He was not the best QB on the roster in 2018... This isn't really debatable... He looked fine in garbage time, otherwise, he looked out of his depth running *our offense*...
It should come as no surprise that now transferring into a school that runs an offense that is more inline with his skillset (and frankly probably where he should have gone in the first place) that he's having success.
Fans can disagree with what Kirby wants to do offensively, but there is little room to argue that Fields is a better fit at UGA than Fromm given the current offensive identity.

Will be interesting to see how this thread ages...

That's not true, because the only time he got any legitimate playing time was early in the year against cupcakes. The only playing time he got against any SEC team was either handing the ball off or being put in for one play to run for a first down, and then pulled. He was also put in for that idiotic fake punt, which was a colossally stupid call. That wasn't on Fields and even if it was a good call, you don't put in a true fresman with little playing experience to run it.
The season will give us an indication of what is fact and fiction.

The real question here is what team does OState have on the schedule that has above average cover guys and LBs so we can really see how Fields responds? I don’t know that there is one.
This shite will go on until the playoffs.

I'm not sure Kirby could have handled it any other way other than convincing Fields he should redshirt and I think that went off the table after Stetson transferred. It seemed like he promised Fields some PT as part of his recruitment; then it became awkward and disrupted the sync when Fields came in. Fields never should have come to UGA given what he expected. He should have either gone to a school without a proven starter or one where the starter was going into his senior year.

Anyone who watched last season knows that he was given very little opportunity to pass the ball or work with the full offense in any meaningful game, and 9 times of out 10 he was put in to run for a first down and then removed. You're not kidding anyone with this nonsense. He sure as hell hasn't had any difficulty throwing from the pocket or the run at OSU.
