Should Poles trade Fields this off-season while his value is sky high? (Maybe get Houston’s two top 10 picks, one of which will be #1 overall) FTO

If he can't figure out how to play the actual QB position then maybe.

Fields is kind of the equivalent of Hester, a ridiculous athletic talent with great vision and speed, but just like Hester could not figure out how to be a WR, Fields needs to figure out how to be a QB.

All it's going to take is a small injury to fields and his running ability will suffer, and if he hasn't figured out how to be a QB then we have a non mobile QB that can't read a D and can only throw to wide open receiver and is averaging less then 200 yards per game. That's not a recipe for success.

Right now they need to tell him to only use his running ability to buy time so he can throw the ball.. this is a huge waste of a year if he doesn't develop into an actual QB

I really don't think Hou would make that trade. Would Chicago is the bigger question.

His passing efficiency has only skyrocketed the last 4 games, and he still has a whole bunch of suspect pass-catching options and a line that struggles in pass pro.

I get you've decided already that you can't like fields but what you are saying is foolish. They've designed an offense to allow him to be effective and have success while he grows and the team gets better talent. It's the exact same thing Baltimore did and Lamar has grown infinitely has a passer since his rookie year. Your opinions really cannot be taken seriously

Right. Can we let Fields play the game and build his confidence? He looks comfortable and confident using his athletic ability which will only help his entire game, running and passing. As he continues to develop he'll miss less throws, make better reads and thus not need to rely on his legs as much. For now though, it's opened up his personal game and the entire offense. We're the highest scoring offense in the league over the last month! Now's the time to really criticize the QB of that offense.

T13th in passing TDs while 26th in attempts on a team thats 32nd in offensive spending and has zero 1st round talent around him.

Hows Mac Jones?

It had to sky rocket though... to start the season it couldn't get much worse.

No. You build around him.

Why not just bump an old account from the depths to rattle the cages if the clicks and googlebucks are slow ...

Aren’t you the Mac Jones apologist?
