Shitty day here in Florida so parking my ass in front of couch this afternoon.
Anyone got any action today? Took Indiana +21, really like what they are building over there and could easily see a backdoor cover in play with Ohio State's defense not up to their admittedly high standard.
Of course OK-OK State later is always a good one.
Indiana has a chance to be the first team to beat PSU, Michigan State, Michigan and OSU in the same season.
This looks like another Haskins situation. Gaudy stats due to team talent difference over competitors. His decision making is terrible and will be exposed at the NFL level.

Maybe Georgia played the wrong QB? Fromm isn't anywhere close to the QB Fields is. And Georgia has recruited just as well as Ohio State the last few years.

Let me make sure I understand this. Fields’s decision making is now universally terrible because he finally threw two interceptions for the year?
You are quite the evaluator.
Perhaps Fields is having a bad first half against a very good team.
Let’s see how this plays out. I don’t recall a college QB prospect EVER not making poor decisions sometime during a year. Do you?
I don't know how you can say you don't understand what people see in him though. He's extremely physically talented. That first pick he just trusted his arm too much, wasn't even that bad a throw.
Pressure is the great equalizer though and if this is what he puts on tape against light pressure, glad we won't be in a position to take the guy.

It's the fact that he is finally facing pressure across the line and it isn't even that heavy. Usually when you see him facing any pressure at all it's one guy and the rest of the line is stonewalling. And that's the risk with this guy, is that there really isn't going to be much film out there with him in this situation.
Playing QB for the NY Giants and playing QB for Ohio State is essentially an apples and screwdrivers comparison.
This is what I want to see. It's so unusual for him to face pressure can definitely be caught off guard. Want to see how he responds.
The OSU OL is being overwhelmed by it. They need to adjust.
Or Day needs to get Fields on the edge...

One or two plays doesn't tell the whole picture. For the most part the pressure isn't all that heavy. As Giants fans we should know what that looks like.
That was an impressive run out of the pocket.
Long throwing motion. Looks hitchy too...
Good locking athlete.
That was an impressive run out of the pocket.
Sure it was a throw they make in the NFL, but it certainly wasn't very accurate to a wide open WR.

I don’t see anything exceptional in his game. He’s mobile, great, almost all of the NFL QBs are mobile now. I see a kid who isn’t really being tested given the talent difference week to week, just like Haskins.
Fortunately the Giants won’t be picking him. I’d hate to be a fan of the team that does.

It was over the defender and to a spot where only Olave could grab it. So I thought it was a very good throw.
Olave has the goods...

Fair enough. If you can't see the talent difference between Fields and Haskins than we just see the game through a different lens.
There is a risk drafting QBs like Fields who constantly have tons of time to throw. They may not have to go through their reads regularly knowing that they'll likely have enough time to wait for their first option to get open. They may also not face the kind of constant pressure and exotic blitz packages that are common in the NFL, even by teams with bad defenses. You also need to know whether they can come from behind, and win games at the end.
Fields is nonetheless a top flight NFL prospect. His arm strength, accuracy, and mechanics are excellent. He can also scramble. And it appears to me that he can go through his reads when required. He's a much better prsopect than Haskins.

It’s not Fields v Haskins. The point is both benefitted from a huge talent advantage week to week. Ohio State doesn’t even need to throw the ball in this game.
Anyone who watches this kid and thinks top 5 franchise QB is crazy. Looks like a classic bust.

I mean he could and with his tools he'll have a long career in the league at the very least, but sure as hell not jettisong him for DJ at this point. That's what annoys me the most, regardless of position, people fall in love with prospects. The NFL is a completely different ball game, espcially when you play QB on a stacked roster. At least with Lawrence you have a sample size there. Didn't really watch much college football last year, but this year is first time Fields has seen pressure and he looks pretty shook.
He does.
