yes, he can extend the play at times. he can also end up scrambling way more than he should because he misses open receivers and gets sacked. we talk about just how often fields gets brought down behind the line of scrimmage and a lot of it is because he forces the scramble instead of chucking the ball away, or even better finding a receiver before he gets pressured (again after like 4-5 seconds)

i dunno, there were plenty of instances where he had a solid 4-5 seconds of his oline holding up. his inability to release the ball quickly was repeatedly so evident against the viking’s blitzing defense. i don’t think even the eagle’s oline could save him with how long he likes to hold onto the ball for a lot of these plays.
