If you want to crown him then crown him but I'm not going to blindly follow. He has to prove it on the field.
I'm certainly not crowning him. I expect him to be gone after his 4th year. My hope is we build the offense for him to succeed so his replacement has a chance to.
I'm just not condemning him because 2 of our GMs he was under didn't think an oline or WRs were important.
Lotta ifs here. I think it’s much more likely he gets it completed than the S getting over there and picking it off. Based on Flus’s answer about this play specifically, I think he would also have liked to see Fields see it a bit earlier and make the attempt
Lots of ifs for you to. My if is not only based on common football sense but a problem Fields has shown in the past.
When it's our safety that comes forward out of position we blame our safety for the TD. When their safety stays in position we either blame our QB for not seeing the open guy who wasn't really open or we blame our QB for throwing a pick he should've known better than to throw.
Fields has missed those players to his left waiting to pounce even this year. That he saw the safety is an improvement.
It didn't look to me like he didn't see it as soon as it was happening. Looked to me like he decided it wasn't a safe throw.
I would like to see Getsy or Flus adjust that route adjustment plan to consider that there's most likely a safety back there and instead of calling off a curl and going straight down field turn it towards the sidelines.
