Sad reality is he will enter his third season in the NFL with very little experience and full of question marks. He will have all the pressure of the world on his shoulders next season. Still rooting for the kid but that trade up to get him is not looking very good right now.
Be careful, you're going to make some fragile posters here pee pee in their pants.
You can't even grade it. There's a difference between bad play verses not playing. He hasn't been JaMarcus Russell or Ryan Leaf. And the sample size is too small to judge what we have seen. It just sucks because it is going to be a long time before this guy gets extensive action.
At the time, I wanted us to beef up O-line, but when we made the trade, I wanted Fields. We got Trey Lance. Based off his pedigree and approach to the game, I support the decision. It sucks that his season is done, but we could have far worse problems. We are are a team that just won by 20, likely will win our division, and have a winner at QB. We have a talented guy ready to replace him if Jimmy can't lead us all the way. It could be A LOT worse.
