  • If Fields took the Josh Allen approach he’d at least show his potential, the problem is that Fields requires too much certainty to operate (he’d also throw a shit ton of interceptions). For people that think it’s a Bears problem, because Mitch had the same problem, keep in mind that most premier college QB’s can’t read an NFL defense pre-snap AND post-snap, all within seconds. The ability to do this is exceedingly rare, probably requires very specific innate skills and years of practice. Fields and Mitch don’t have the skill and were never asked to develop in this area throughout their early careers. They are cooked bird, they what they are. Allen doesn’t appear to be great at it either, but he throws it anyway, for mixed results. The problem is that college ball is mostly about athleticism and the NFL is about skill first and top-shelf athleticism second. I think NIL will spread talent around more, increase parity in college ball, and the jump to the NFL will become a bigger and bigger leap. Super teams won’t exist anymore, with means college QB’s will never play against elite defenses until the NFL.
