UGH that is exactly what Im talking about.

You have the field goal to go up two scores, Fields tries to play broken play hero ball, which works some percentage of the time and is very exciting, but a good defense will punish you for it too. It's high risk, medium reward. A bad bet, especially there.

You give Fields just a tiny bit of responsibility and this is what he does. THeres a reason they dont trust him, and if they played him like a normal QB, we'd be seeing it all over the place.

For all we know Getsy is great and has been working his ass off to hide Fields.

lol so true. We pile up all the stats except the one that actually matters

and the sportswriters will use those stats to create this whole narrative that just confuses people into thinking we should keep him for another year. Because the question "keep him or not?" makes great headlines and articles and gets clicks. But if youre watching the game, the decision has to have been already made. His own coaches dont want him, and that's clear from the play calling.

Let them.  Maybe some dumb owner will tell his GM to take a chance.  Right now, I wouldn't trade for him for a stick of gum.

for sure thats the upside of it, increase his trade value. But we'd better not be thinking about keeping him. That kool aid is poison.

Yup - touchdown MIN. Textbook Cover 2 as well - look at the replay. It looks just like it does on the chalkboard. No twists, not games, perfect vanilla cover 2 spacing - attack the middle seam with a TE - touchdown.

Let Urlacher (or Edmunds) run with the seam route, it's a totally different outcome.

Tampa 2 > Cover 2

Flus!

lol @ the announcers "a really great job of Justin Fields hanging in the pocket" I swear, announcers, sportswriters and PFF are all liars.

And it's not like Troy Aikman doesnt know QBing. It's just the way the product is sold.
