Agree about the ProDay stuff, it can typically hurt you more than it helps you. In Jones case, I think it hurt him, in Field case he might have made people think about going back to the film because he had a very good day throwing.
interesting his perception of Field's aloof or arrogant press interview he compared him to Kyler Murray, just before reading that I thought he reminded me of Cam Newton....Newton was a physical specimen...a winner with supreme confidence(arrogance?) that was sometimes off putting to teammates. Teammates have done some work on Cam to make him "one of the boys". I've heard a great coach say once that the QB is of the team...but above the team.
Ya but that's from playing Call of Duty.
I would be happy to have him.

The only raps I ever hear about him have to do with his attitude. Sometimes it's just a college thing. Sure can't complain about his effort on the field. Now we need a scandal and maybe he falls to 20.
Apparently OSU’s passing O is based on option routes so Fields had to wait for his WR to make a decision before he could make his. So while it looks like he is making 1 read and then taking off he could be just simply running out of time after waiting for his read to make a decision and then getting out of there after he doesn’t like what he sees. NFL reads can be taught if the player is committed.

Fuck pace lol
I'd take him but those options should be known at or right after the snap. It's not like the WR actually has an option but instead is supposed to take the correct one which is an early read from both him and QB. Biggest issue for me is not making progressions or finding open outlets under pressure. I hope the last in 1st out stuff is somewhat on point. It's college and he's smart. If he applies himself in becoming a pocket 1st passer in the pros, sky is the limit. That last sentence is why you see him fall a bit. GMs and coaches having concerns about his pocket play.This could be legit but it is also lying season. This could be a manufactured rumor to intentionally drop his draft stock. It would be a shitty thing to do to a 20 something year old but tis the season.

Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State - NFL Draft Player Profile
Amidst highs and lows, Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields has become an enigma of the 2021 NFL Draft, but his talent makes him hard to deny.
What I see is someone who is accurate to all levels of the field with a big arm and A+ athletic traits.
After watching Trubisky sky his passes over his receiver’s head for the last four years watching Fields highlights (I know it’s just highlights) was refreshing. He is built like Cam but plays like Watson.
All that being said my QB evals are historically bad…
or the available outlet at times. I think these college players get overly dissected. He's got the stature, traits and tools. Just draft him.
Who's speculating. It's all a gag and wishful but nobody expects him to be available at 20. I'd consider a move for him if he falls enough to not cost the farm but I don't actually see it happening. That said, almost every draft has a significant surprise.
It's the same thing every year. They need to create narratives to drive ratings and make money. The whole Mac jones to the 9ers thing is hilarious. In a division with Murray Stafford and Wilson nobody is giving up 3 first rounders for Jones to compete against that.
Fairly certain that is the case. Gotta remember Robert Saleh has ties and a good relationship with his former bosses Lynch and Shanahan.
