Took a few games to watch Lance go through reads. A lot of throws were consistently there. Maybe because of level of comp. Took a few plays to watch Justin Fields do it. Starts to his right. Didn't panic when it wasn't there. Worked eyes to his left. Nice throw. Get TE down pic.twitter.com/W90gdRVrOe

Ball jumps on the receiver. Doesn't look like he has to try to throw outside the numbers. Nice natural strong arm. pic.twitter.com/PJsMajGb7u

We saw last night Justin Herbert throw a potential game winning deep ball to Mike Williams. I think the most underrated part about that throw and this one here is the QB's ability to put the receiver in a winnable position. The location goes overlooked b/c of the great catch. pic.twitter.com/SoJmbOBrbm

He reminds me so much of Russell Wilson, it will be interesting how the season plays out and where we will be picking but if we have a chance to take him, NFC West QB's would be insane with Wilson, Murray, Fields, Goff.

Russell Wilson had a 73% completion, threw for over 3,000 yards and 33 touchdowns out of a pro-style west coast offense. I don't see Russell Wilson at all.

His play to me reminds of Wilson, taller but thickly built, maneuvers around the pocket when pressured and makes something out of nothing, pass first, run second. I'm not the only one see's it, been seeing a lot of comps to Wilson.

I see a lot of disappointed people in the future if they expect Russell Wilson from Justin Fields. Wilson wasn't just insanely accurate in college(most efficient passing efficiency coming out that year in the nation (out of a pro-style offense to boot)). He was incredibly smart and had everything between the ears. He was already adept at reading and manipulating secondaries coming out of Wisconsin. Dude oozed intangibles.

Fields is legit. Hes not the same athlete as Lawrence or Lance, but hes a smart QB with a really good arm.

I haven't watched much college this year and I hate to evaluate a prospect off of a highlight video. That said, I watched 2 minutes into the video, and there was one throw from the pocket. That's already a red flag if your evaluating QBs for Kyle.

One would hope that Kyle would learn his lesson on this topic. RIP opportunity to draft the best QB in the league to take Saruman Thomas.

I really like what I see of Fields. There is nothing lacking in ability. It's always an gamble to extent, but so is every pick. Trade up for this guy, IMHO.

Lamar had problems with accuracy in his rookie year. He is the rare exception to the rule with QBs. He got much better at passing in year two.

Not 100% convinced with Fields. There's definitely talent there, but not "Wilson" level talent.

I never said he is Wilson level talent, I said his style of play reminds me of Wilson.

Personally, I see more Ryan Tannehill in the style of play, which isn't necessarily a bad thing especially when thinking about a QB that fits Shanahan's style of offense.
