So many idiots on this message board are so accustomed to bad quarterback play that they zealously defend mediocrity.
Look at these plays.
At 0:39, the corners bail, the linebacker blitzes, and as a result, Kmet is totally uncovered on the out route, just wide the **** open, and Fields doesn't see it. Yeah, Braxton Jones gets bullrushed right into Fields' lap, but if Fields was a good quarterback, he would have recognized the blitz and coverage, and the ball would be out right here.

At 2:50, it's a 3 step drop and they're sending six pass rushers. The ball has to come out. I don't have the All-22 so I don't know who is or isn't open downfield, but no offensive line in the NFL is going to hold up very long when they send 6, and it's a 3 step drop so this is a play specifically designed to get rid of the ball quickly, but Fields holds it and eats the sack.

At 4:53, the pocket collapses very quickly with only a 4 man rush, which, yes, is bad OL play, and it looks like Fields' first read was Kmet on the dig route, which the safety was going to jump and probably get an interception if Fields threw it, so eating the sack was better than trying to force the ball to Kmet. Nonetheless, DJ Moore was coming wide open for a touchdown on the post route, and a better quarterback would have anticipated it and thrown an easy TD pass to Moore.

At 7:45, they're sending 5 pass rushers against a 5 man protection, which is going to result in pressure almost 100% of the time at the NFL level. The ball has to come out to Roschon Johnson. Fields has to recognize the blitz and get rid of the ball. I don't know if Roschon picks up the first down, but FIelds needs to get rid of the ball and give him a chance.

At 10:35, I agree that sack is 100% on Tevin Jenkins, and there's nothing Fields could have done.
I think a legitimate NFL franchise quarterback would have taken the sack at 10:35 and probably one (maybe 2) of the other 4 because no one is perfect, but taking all 5 sacks in these situations is just unacceptable mediocre QB play.
