My favorite teams
He doesn't suck right now. He's making a lot of mistakes right now for sure. And most of us who follow the NFL for the last bunch of years knew that he was going to make a lot of mistakes right now. We knew this in our gut and we knew this in our minds. We are human beings and the one way we, as human beings, learn things is by making mistakes. You can see that by looking at your own life--go ahead, look for times times in your own life when things were going poorly for you, when you were struggling. My bet is that if you looked for those times, you would see that they weren't much fun for you at all--obviously-- BUT you will also see that there was learning going on. You learned things by making the mistakes you made. When you look at the great times in your life, the easy times, you'll see they were much more enjoyable. But you'll also notice that there wasn't a lot of learning going on. The same is true for me.
We don't really learn skills by talking or by reading or by watching--we can talk, read and watch how to play the piano for decades and we won't learn how to play the piano, which is a skill. There is only one way for us to learn how to play the piano and that's playing the piano. And the learning happens when we make mistakes playing the piano.
Same with Fields. He's playing in the NFL for the first time this year. And he's making mistakes. And he's learning from those mistakes.
Many of us knew that he was going to be doing this during this process. It seems like there were many who weren't expecting that. Maybe those people, you among them, don't understand some basic truths about how people learn skills.
Hope this helps.
That's a long way to write he'll get better at a skill by working on it. Well no shiz Sherlock.
