That song literally squirted through my head when i read the thread title
Get ready for death threats....
What I am struggling with is how few routes are being offered in the middle third of the field. Seems Getsy is reluctant to design plays where opportunities are provide there, when his former QB Rodgers kills it there. I know there sometimes are shallow crossers now and then, and perhaps Fields is choosing not to go there with the ball, but I can't recall ever seeing a slant route offered, let alone thrown to. This would help loosen the coverage out beyond the numbers where we primarily keep going. .. just sayin'
I think he's smart enough to know what the deal is this year.
Why wouldn't he survive? He's taking less hard hits than he was earlier in the year. It's only getting better.
This is a good point and i've noticed that as well. I think they just want to remove any potential for him turning the ball over. It's easier to design coverage and get interceptions on those routes.
I think it's a lot more sustainable than earlier this year and last year with him getting crushed in the pocket. He's 6'3" and built like a tank. This isn't RG3 we're talking about here, and he's a young guy. His career progression will only trend more toward throwing the ball, including this year, just got to be patient.
