Joel Klatt: Justin Fields is just as dangerous as Trevor Lawrence for the NFL.

Trevor or Fields would both be reasons to be excited about our future. 

Like I stated in the thread last night, when someone stated they were "tired" of hearing about Lawrence.

We have to find the light at the end of the shitty tunnel, like Shawshank Redemption. JF or TL are those lights.

I just dont know about fields.  Seems like it may be the system

Every QB is a system QB. Every QB has talents that play well in certain systems and not as well in others.

Labelling QBs that play well in short passing systems as "system QBs" and not QBs that play well in power run/deep ball systems is pretty dumb. Troy Aikman would be as poor a fit for the current Saints' offense as Brees would be for the 90s Cowboys' offense.

He has really high praise for TL as well.

While admittedly not a professional scout by any stretch, I’ve been around the game since 6. 
Trey Lance checks all of the boxes on film. Playing QB in the NFL involves more than physical play, but he has all of the tools and intangibles.

well, I still prefer Lawerence.  The Ohio St thing does sit in the back of my mind.  

But if you watch Fields in college and Haskins in college.  They are very different IMO.  Can't get caught up w/ Haskins' stats.   He had great stats.  Probably better than Fields.  Fields is a better QB in college than Haskins IMO.  Haskins had warning signs IMO you don't see with Fields.

I have him as a close #2 to Lawrence. I really like Fields but I am almost pretty scared of any Ohio St. QB at this point.

Haskins definitely had more of the look of a system QB than Fields did, IMO.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
