JagFan 97 Posted September 24, 2023 So, what are we seeing here? They bring in a true WR1 in DJ Moore and think they have a legit QB? Fields is who he is, so how is it the people getting paid s#it tons of money as his coaches don’t see what we see? And if these over paid folk want to prove their theory, why aren’t they having said RBQB throw to said WR1? It makes little to no sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,043 Posted September 25, 2023 I think Fields is introverted and sensitive. That's a bad combination for an NFL quarterback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he fails they will draft another QB. They are giving him a shot to excel or fail. He's failing so far. They want to try to build a team before the QB.

If there were only some way for them to get video of the NFL games he’s played in so far, they might’ve been able to determine that already. It’s the coaching staff that’s failing, and will most likely get replaced long before Fields does…as they should. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We all know which direction this is going at the moment. There is time to turn it around but I'm not betting on a turnaround. part of this could be coaching too. but thats not what the team will say when they turf him.

BuschWack 56 Posted September 26, 2023 Is this the time to buy low? Considering trading Goff for Fields. His schedule looks tempting... and the coaches are gonna let him run wild soon no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His schedule looks tempting... and the coaches are gonna let him run wild soon no? desperate times.... personally I dont think that offense is a fit for his skillset. I expected they would have him doing more designed QB runs but it feels like the team is trying to stay away from this sort of thing. I see the attractiveness of having a QB in a standard offense who can add the running ability but sometimes thats not a natural fit for the player. I know he has some rush yards but the half game I watched it feels like they are in some respects trying to make him more of a drop back passer. If I was coaching him I'd do a lot more bootlegs and QB draws to keep the defense offbalance. I just didnt see a whole lot of that. Not enough anyways. That still doesnt fix his arm and ability to throw, but it buys him some time to win games with his legs until his throwing arm develops to a point where he can rely on it.

I agree with all the sentiment here... Mine is a superflex league and have Mahomes as my starter with Goff in the SF spot. Tempting to take a roll of the dice with Fields in place of Goff, but Goff is just too consistent. Having that reliability is good. Anything could happen with Fields.

There’s no need to make that deal. Fields may have a higher ceiling than Goff but he has a much lower floor. I’d say he’s more likely to get benched by week 11-12 than to put produce Goff for the ROS. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything could happen with Fields. this is a hail mary play when your team has close to a zero chance of winning. They you throw in fields and hope he rushes for 110 yards and a TD. At that point you can live with the 150-200 yards passing he puts up because the rushing more than makes up for it. problem is we have not seen games like this so far this season so its a tough bet to make.
