If the D continues to dominate I think there is a case for keeping Flus. To give all the credit to the players and leave out the system and play calling is extremely short sighted.
Getsy and Fields seem to be the biggest setbacks at the moment. Maybe add receiver in that mix and then online. There were so many plays today when Fields had time but did not pull the trigger. All 22 will be very telling.
I honestly don’t think Fields has the processing ability to throw receivers open and manipulate defenses from the pocket. Getsy is aweful, no doubt. But for Fields to all of a sudden be able to do these critical mental things at an elite level just isn’t going to happen at this point. The Vikings game is proof of this fact, to me. He’s had more time to throw in the pocket than any other QB in the NFL. Every start of his shows receivers getting open and he’s just not pulling the trigger or he doesn’t even see it. The downfield game has become almost nonexistent.
He makes some electric plays, but in the mental aspects of what makes a great QB, Fields is severely lacking.
They don’t need Fields 2.0 in Caleb Williams, who also can’t throw with anticipation or manipulate from the pocket. I’m hoping they draft a QB with the highest playing IQ mixed pocket presence.
