Fields/Wilson

[jb2288]

Fields really hasn’t looked great against the best team he’s played this year. Any chance  Wilson leap frogs him in the draft? On the flip side Wilson hasn’t played anyone decent either.

Hoping the bowls will be played as usual so we'll see Wilson face at least one good team.

BYU plays basically nobody all year. It’s going to be hard for people to drop Fields off of one game against a top defense. If Wilson leapt Fields WE would be lucky.

I just can't get excited about Wilson.  I don't trust BYU products at all.  Fields threw a couple bad passes, but he still made plays...  reminded me a lot of Cam having all of the responsibility to make something happen.

The way I see it is Wilson is doing more with less against bad competition. Fields is doing less with more against good competition. Where that leaves us? Well I don’t know.

What's the knock on BYU QBs? Historically they've had pretty good success at the position. They just haven't really had any high level NFL QB prospects in awhile.

If you factor in last seasons film, Fields has done more against much better competition than BYU has played. Wilson had three games last year with 0 touchdown passes and 2 interceptions. One of which was their bowl game against Hawaii. He only had three games last season where he didn’t throw a pick. The year before he had 3 games with no touchdown passes at all. I’ll ignore his first game where he only threw two passes. 
 

Fields only has three games his whole career where he threw an INT. 
 

Fields was human in this game but he’s been lights out the previous three to the tune of basically 280 passing yards a game, 4 touchdowns a game and completing just under 90% of his passes. That isn’t doing less with more.

I dislike the whole argument of “kid goes to Y school so he can’t be a good pro”. That’s not a good way to judge prospects at all. The only knock on BYU this year is the same as Trey Lance faced last year and this year: They don’t play anybody all year long. So you’ll judge based off of skills and not results, or judge them off of one game to end the year. It’s sucks.

Fields had a bad day and still 60% comp 300 yrds and 2 TDs and they won against a top 10 team.  No worries.

3 TDs. He had one rushing as well.

Jeremy Chinn may win rookie of the year and was playing for a nothing school this time last year. Couldn’t agree with you more.

I’m afraid that Fields might just be another Deshaun Watson. Looks good but can’t single handily win you a game when it’s needed most. Wilson might not be spectacular and from a smaller school but could be special in the NFL. 

Lol what?  One of the silliest things I’ve read in awhile

If he is “another Watson” we would be lucky.
