Great read. Thanks for posting.

Highlight:
While Fields has been criticized for his rate of attempts beyond his first read, I charted Fields as attempting more passes beyond his first read than any of the other top quarterbacks in the class; it was Jones, who is regularly credited for his processing speed, smart eyes, and decision making, who had the fewest attempts beyond his first read. In terms of performance after that first read, Jones was again remarkably worse.

I don't know how we can all look at this data and people will still conclude that the Niners will select Jones higher than Fields. I know they have more in depth knowledge but still we all are looking at the same tape.

You guy wanna know something???

Justin Fields is more pro ready than Mac Jones.

loool this! Hope he puts on a massive show on his pro-day 2 and end all debate. Then again - he had an amazing pro day 1 going up against Mac Jones and Mac Jones fans dismissed it.

He literally says in the comments section of this article that fields IS NOT good at the quick passing game. Which makes up the majority of the Shannahan passing scheme...

Pic is gonna be Mac like it or not.

SIlly argument considering if you take what he said at face value, the only thing keeping him from being good at it is coaching.

What coach thinks he would rather have less talented players because he can't coach the better ones to play in his style?

- Totaled 4,187 passing yards, 41 passing touchdowns, 2,096 rushing yards and 28 rushing touchdowns in two years as a starter in high school.

- 2017 Elite 11 MVP

- 2018 Mr. Georgia Football by the Touchdown Club of Atlanta

- Five-star recruit ranked #2 overall in his class

- Totaled 5,701 passing yards, 67 passing touchdowns, 1,133 rushing yards and 19 rushing touchdowns in three years, two as a starter, in college.

- First team All-Big Ten (2019, 2020)

- Second team All–American (2019)

- Big Ten Championship MVP (2019)

- Heisman Trophy finalist (2019)

Now none of those things mean he will be a great NFL player... But he has been an elite player at every level.

I don't like sandlot football where the explosiveness of an offense relies upon the QB breaking containment of the pass rush long enough so that a burner shakes free downfield and the QB heaves him an 80-yard bomb. People in favor of Fields will argue that he is much more than that, that he's an accurate pocket passer, etc., but I am unconvinced. NFL radio played composite analysis of the top QB picks from multiple commentators and the knock on Fields was pretty consistent, that he holds the ball too long, is too slow to recognize what's happening and pull the trigger on a play. That sounds like a guy in the NFL who'll struggle with the speed and will fall back on his incredible athleticism, which will work for a time, until it doesn't. We've seen this movie before.

If the Niners go mobile, I'd take fields over Lance because of his big time college experience and impressive tools. I don't think he's worthy of the 3 pick. And for the record, I don't think Mac Jones is either. I think the Niners FO got high on their offseason success and overplayed their hand with this trade up without thinking through that the 3-5 QBs have issues. I do think Mac Jones will be a more successful NFL QB than Fields just because it's easier to beat defenses over the long haul with your head rather than your physical tools. If Jones is mentally elite, which is what the consensus commentators say, that can blossom into something effective for a long time. The guys who do it with their athleticism burn brightly early, but end up breaking down quicker and have shorter careers. I fully, fully appreciate those who are not happy about the draft capital we moved to get to the 3 spot, because it doesn't seem like any of the options available justify the move. I think Fields is very attractive Fool's Gold. I will support him if he's the pick. Not looking to piss off his passionate fans, but just being honest.

This is what happens when people don't do your own research and go with what they hear in the media...

How can someone throw 67 TDs and only 2 losses in college if he can neither go past the 1st read nor throw quick passes to said 1st read? That would be super impressive. Just imagine what he could do if Shanahan coached him to improve in those areas!
