In 7 starts Fields has been sacked 26 times

65 carries for 341 yards, 20 1st downs, 5.2 Y/A, 5 fumbles

In 4 starts and 5 games Bagent has been sacked 5 times

23 carries for 109 yards, 11 1st downs, 4.7 Y/A, 3 fumbles.

Not saying Bagent is better. Throw away the “Fields needs protection” excuse. Bagent played with the same OL and receivers. Fields gets sacked more because he’s a scrambler excuse? Bagent scrambled too. Bagent faced the same pressure. Difference is, Bagent was a lot cooler. When are you guys going to realize Fields isn’t our franchise QB? Bagent isn’t either. Drafting MHJ will be a waste with Fields at QB.

    Fields is a big game hunter. He’s going to hold onto the ball because he knows if he can escape, he can launch it or more likely just run it himself for a big gain. But, it often results in more sacks. That one offensive drive in the Detroit game is a prime example of this. I believe he took a big sack on second down and it was third and very long. Then Fields does his thing and runs it for the first down. Both the good and bad back to back. I don’t think you can coach that out of him. It’ll be up to Poles whether the level of risk vs reward is worth keeping around.

      That’s not why he takes sacks

      He takes sacks because he has poor pre-snap reads, poor pressure recognition, and poor pocket movement.

      It’s not because he’s dancing around back there trying to make big plays.

        Dude, it has been shown time that he’s good at presnap reads. And he is pretty consistent in doing that. It’s reacting to the defense after the snap where things get money. And Fields is definitely looking for the big plays. We are pretty high up there in explosiveness for offences. At least before he got hurt we were.
