Justin Fields Pre 2 Analysis

My point exactly.


Coming into the league raw is one thing. Receiving little to no development from a dysfunctional Organization is another. Fields has had both and due to that, he is so far behind that it is fair to question will he ever put it all together.


The optimist in me believes he can. I also can forsee him flaming out all together. We will have to wait and see.

 

I can't fault you there, the Bears have been a graveyard for QB's. Hopefully a change of scenery will do Fields some good

 

And we have a direct pipeline to Chicago to pick up their discarded qbs

 

Didn't a lot if people say thus about Trubisky, and Am I wrong to say Trubisky's best years were in Chicago, and not Pittsburgh, or Buffalo???

 

All I can say is.....during the game when this is actually going on live ....I'm saying these things, and being called a hater.
1. I want Fields to get good. That fixes things for the Steelers for the next ten years.
2. I don't see it happening.
3. This is what I say about moat running Qb....they never have to learn until it too late.
4. Why aren't people seeing this during the games, and only after someone breaks it down for them. Every time I said....Hey He missed a wide open guy, and He's looking to run too fast....I get......Your a hater. No....I just seen Him do it.

 

LoL

 

The Bears had HOF QB Sid Luckman back in the 1940's, All-Pro Billy Wade in the early 1960's and Jim McMahon back in the 80's. Other than that it has been a sorry lot of QB's in their history.

 

Other than Luckman and Wade, the Bears QB history has been bleak. McMahon was pretty average, he just had the good fortune of being surrounded by a lot of talent, and a pretty good head coach

 

Bears with Trubisky vs Bears with Fields are two different time periods. Both though were failed by the Bears; Trubisky being failed by Matt Nagys ego and Fields being left hung to dry by the entire Organization as a whole. Again, I do believe that Fields may be out of time.


However, I am not going to write him off for one major reason; time. Unlike Mitch, Fields hasnt been fully destroyed by Chicago. Mitch was by the time he left. How much time will be found out for Fields when he starts for the Steelers. I just hope that by then, Fields is in better standing.


If not, start back to square one.

 

What does history tell you? The last Bears QB the Steelers grabbed ended worse. Not a good sign. I am not optimistic until proven otherwise.

 

Guys we could win with Tommy Maddox back in the day. Remember the 2002 wild card come from behind last minute win against Cleveland

Keep the faith. Anything is possible

 

You've definitely got that right about college open vs NFL open. The game is moving much faster, and the windows are much smaller in the NFL. A good NFL QB has the ability see when his receiver will be open, and deliver the ball to him pretty quickly. All the best NFL QB's are able to do this on a consistent basis, something that Fields has struggled with. Can he improve in this area significantly with the Steelers? It's not impossible, but that seems to be a talent that you either have or don't have straight out of college.

 

Was that the run where he went down the left side near the sidelines? He was holding the ball on his right side by his legs and while he was running his arm was moving outward. He didn't change hands while he ran to the sidelines. Or didn't tuck it in. Could have easily been slapped out!

You can see why he had 38 fumbles losing 11 in Chicago.

 

Yeah you learn in your first year of PeeWee football that you always carry the ball towards the sidelines but I have noticed in the last couple of years that more and more ball carriers aren't switching the ball to their outside arm. Just like tackling and other basic things aren't being taught anymore.

 

Agree to disagree.

 

Teams don't give away top notch starting QB's. The fact we got 2 QB's just given to us says a lot about their abilities.
It's going to take strong defence, a strong running game, good blocking and just good all around team play to get us to be a contender.

 

Defense is very good.
Run game should also be very good.
I like our chances.

 

Spot on. If a QB can't see the play presnap he's either got to guess at the defense (leading to a bunch of INTs or incompletions) or he's waiting and taking a sack, or scrambling. A QB has about 15 seconds to read a defense presnap, and less than 3 post snap. Which is the easier task?
It's not an easily measured trait, but 'spacial recognition ' is a big deal playing football. In fact, some services are popping up that are attempting to sell a metric to the NFL for QB draft profiles.

 

He can’t see the field and he can’t go through his progressions. Were not the right team to develop him. He would be an excellent backup at Miami where traditionally you only have to throw to your first read because there almost always open.

 

Speaking of the Dolphins they just signed Anthony McFarland. So if you see someone wearing an aqua and orange jersey and muttering about a scat offense that would be PWP.

 

They have their system in place and they know what they want. Its all about the speed. One speed back goes down just plug in another one.
