Fields has only recently started playing better. He now has around one full season of starts under his belt. Playing better is a relative term since his completion % is still only 58.9 for this season. Most games have been 60% 0r less. Much of his success is because of his running which is off the charts. The question is how long will that last. Eventually he will need to stop running so much if he wants to have along career.
Now take a look at the scrub players on his team vs the stars on this team that Lance can't do anything with.
You need to stop with this narrative. Lance isn't even playing and hasn't played for two months. There is no honest basis for comparison until Lance actually has extended time as a starter when fully healthy.
Durable > injured.
When you can run through the hole with 4.4 speed instead of 4.9 and get popped before you get through that also helps.
The bolded is true, however, that was not the point you were making.
You have been saying Lance is not a good player. That assertion is based on a very limited amount of PT. Hence, my comment you need to find another narrative. When he has had as much PT as Fields and is still not performing well, then you have a case. As for now, the sample size is far too small to make an authoritative statement.
He hasn't played well. He lost to Justin Fields and didn't look great at all. Fields looked like the far superior athlete in that game. He also made the big plays while Lance didn't. So far he threw 1 good deep ball against Houston last year. That's about it for dynamic plays. The WR made a lot of run after the catch too.
A more accurate statement would be that "he hasn't played much."
Again, you are comparing a player that had played 10 prior pro games after a full season of top-tier college ball to a guy that had only played a handful of games over a three-year time frame in both college and pro. Your sample size is arguably far too small to be making such iron-clad statements.
Maybe they should think of that stuff before making the pick. Top tier program and top tier competition.
They also looked at Justin Fields, and with a lot of game film to review, decided the kid with less experience showed greater potential.
Now we have to wait, with all our reservations and hopes, to see who was right. That question will not be firmly settled until at least the end of the 2023 season.
In the meantime, we have another thread in which we can indulge all our wildest speculations, good and bad.
Very well said! I'm cautiously optimistic but at the same time a little concerned. It could have just how Trey was used but Fields is carrying an offense rn. Only time will tell. I'm hoping Trey is a great QB because he was drafted to be the QBOTF.
Fields is hopefully going to carry my team into the FFB playoffs.
