He did everything he was supposed to do and had us with a 12 point lead with 4 mins left, and the defense went and gave up two tds. Also one of our wrs dropped a game clinching pass after he had fumbled earlier in the game. And he did it all without the thumb in his throwing hand being one 100%. There is nothing a Caleb Williams or Drake Maye could do to elevate this team with all the holes and terrible coaching.

Fields played well enough to win for most of the game. He made a couple very good throws, including the (I’ll-advised) bomb to Scott. But on that play he missed Moore wide open for the first down, and he committed ANOTHER game-sealing turnover. I think with better coaching Fields could be an above-average qb with sporadic meltdown games where he’s the reason we lose. But we would be insane to commit massive money to him. Reset the clock with one of the two potentially generational qb prospects and put a strong offensive regime in place.
