I've seen Lance apparently fail to see the short guy a number of times (usually a hot route, but sometimes a wide open FB on a boot), and throw into coverage deep. But it's entirely possible he just can't resist the deep ball. But I've not seen him fail to see wide open touchdowns as much as Fields.
It could be a lot of things. Maybe scheme. Maybe I just haven't watched enough. Maybe it's that he has too few attempts to show it. But I haven't really seen Lance leave wide open touchdowns on the field all that much. Every QB does it, but some more than others, and Lance less than Fields I think.
And of course, Lance can clearly work within the structure of a pro-style offense, and he's younger and more of a blank slate.
Here's a game where he costs NDSU multiple touchdown scores by missing wide open receivers, with the drives ending in FGs
There isn't one single play in that game where Lance FAILED TO SEE wide open touchdowns. He MISSED some passes, but that is not what I was discussing above. Since you're talking about an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TOPIC, why even respond to me?
That said, Lance did fail to see two hot routes in this game.
