Look AT THIS THROW by Fields omg

Looking back at arm talent in the draft, accuracy often came up as being Jones' forte' but does it count if you can't make all the throws like the one in this vid? Use the entire field and routes and you have Wilson and Fields as the best throwers with Lawrence a close 3rd. Reads? Jones is probably 1st, Fields 2nd, with Lawrence and Wilson 3rd. Pocket presence is Jones then the other 3. Throwing off platform? Wilson and Fields followed by Lawrence and then Jones simply due to how much more limited the field gets for him.
Is that true? Been so long, so i cant remember. I just remember the feeling of dread every time the ball was in the air.
Couldn't throw a short lob over the line to save his life. He may have had the fastest release in the league but he couldn't slow arm it at all.

5 yards shorter but.
Can't say he doesn't look a little weird doing it. Thing about Fields is that deep hits were common.

Mitch is at the 50. The nearest defender is at the 42. So he has 7 yards of space to throw that ball. Fields throw was while sliding away from the pass rush. Still a good throw by Mitch but easy to make good throws when you are 7 yards away from nearest defender.

Mitchell Trubisky could never ever in a million bazillion years make a play like this. Can't wait for him to start this season it's going to be LIT.

Not really a perfect throw. He could've lead the receiver more as it's a bit behind him. Nitpicking, sure, but how open a WR is gets smaller in the NFL.

Call me a wet blanket, but I've seen more impressive throws by JF in other highlights. A pass like that might get knocked down or intercepted by a pro CB.

This was before deer in headlights Mitch decided it was a good idea to bow out of bounds a yard short of the sticks on a scramble like a puss on a critical 3rd down.

Glad I won’t have to worry about seeing that again.

That was his last game with the Bear.

You're right, a receiver has never had to reach back for a football in the history of the NFL.

The point is that he scanned the field, stood in the pocket, sidestepped and threw a beautiful pass 50 yards going across his body with messed up ribs.

It's very impressive.

A blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. Mitch had one of the worst deep balls I have ever seen.
The sad part, is that Pace drafted Mole Eye FOR his deep ball....

The fact that he always keeps a solid throwing base, even when sliding up inside/moving outside the pocket, is something that is hard to teach... and it's even harder to make it stick with some QBs.
