That's probably what dropped Fields. It was a medical flag. Epilepsy which is controlled. But it scared some teams away picking high. Trey was such a question mark project with very little football experience. That's how he plays too. I hoped for the best. But I'm not sure I understand it.
They fell inlove with the person Trey is. You can have all the physical tools in the world but if you aren't wired right mentally you won't be successful. Mac Jones would have been a disaster, The guy has a bunch of character flaws and his arm is worse than Jimmy's and he can't move at all. I still believe Trey will be a star in this league. I just hope it's with the Niners. People just need to be patient.
I don't see the accuracy and mechanics. He also definitely doesn't read the field very well. Reading the field could possibly improve over time. But the throwing accuracy and mechanics are just so bad. Top it off he's not really the athlete he was hyped up to be. Not that blazing of football speed at least. He didn't run so any claims are just speculation as to what his 40 time is. But it's clearly slower than the hype IMO. He mostly gets popped and doesn't reach the corner or outside edges when running around. In game speed he gets run down a lot. Way more than Justin Fields or Lamar Jackson. That's for sure.
It's funny that Kyle decided to start Trey last season but for some reason he's not ready now. He had 2 starts and one was in terrible weather. Soggy field, rain and wind. Neither team could do much. Other than the busted coverage when Fields found a receiver left wide open downfield. That's hardly enough to evaluate a QB. If it was then Peyton Manning, John Elway and Trevor Lawrence would never have seen a 2nd season. If they can give O linemen 2 or 3 full seasons they sure as hell can do the same for a QB that they used a lot of draft capital to get.
To be fair, "best option" and "ready" are not mutually exclusive or inclusive. We will see this off season.
