Fields biggest problem right now is he is always looking to throw when he scrambles. So he just floats to the edge while looking downfield and is getting caught.
While you are taught to keep your eyes downfield, he has to understand that in the NFL sometimes you just gotta go. Once you are clear of the pursuit then you can check downfield.
He is leaving a lot of plays on the field because of this tendency and for the time being he may need to just be coached to take off rather than sit there waiting for something.
It is strange because mobile QBs usually have the opposite problem where they run too soon and too much. Fields is in this weird spot where he is not taking off fast enough.
