still boggles the mind that people could have Lance over Fields

Yeah, let alone Mac fuging Jones... I'm taking Fields over anyone in this draft not named Trevor Lawrence, and it's really not even close to me. I really really like Wilson and Lance too, but Fields is clearly above them. I can't believe that it's actually possible that we can get Fields with 3 QBs going ahead of him...

That will get you put in the Tinderbox.  I shared a similar article that also showed fields’ offensive plays and where his reads were...now in Tinderbox

I know, but it's honestly the underlying narrative they've had since Cam Newton. I'm just tired of how horrible the analysis of QB's is.

I’m with you 100%. If he’s on the board we take him. A lot of teams make poor calls when drafting a QB. We don’t need to overthink this.

PFF grade on throws past 1st read since 2019: (min. 60 attempts)

1st - Justin Fields - 90.6
2nd - Zach Wilson - 90.1
3rd - Trey Lance - 87.2
...
7th - Trevor Lawrence - 78.6
8th - Mac Jones - 75.7

 

The narrative around Justin Fields not working hard and not being a smart player is beginning to wander into Tinderbox territory, but it is the narrative around him that is developing.  It is depressing that such a false narrative persists, and it is so easy to dispel with even a minor amount of effort.

It has been weird to me how so many are criticizing Fields for not being able to go past his first read when that's all I saw from Mac Jones. In the games I watched, seems like he never made it past his first read 90% of the time. Then again, when your 1st read is often the Heisman winning WR, well...

Great post!!!!!!!

Its lying season. It's not unheard of for teams to try to smear prospects they like  leading up to the draft in a desperate effort to get them to fall.

Like all stats, in a vacuum it does not say a lot.  That said, scoring well on it is certainly an asset and disproves the one-read concern for Fields. 

I've always been skeptical of OSU QBs (and some other big schools that are juggernauts in their conferences, or in Notre Dame's case, with no conference), but Fields has a different look to him than his predecessors.  I didn't see a lot of him, but when I did he showed me more skills that I think translate to an NFL QB than those who preceded him and fell on their faces.  This is an over-simplification, but he has shown to be more of a passer than a thrower.  I think this stat tends to bear that out.  At this point, I'm no more skeptical of his chances than I am any other first round QB, and maybe less so.

IMO, if Fields, Sewell, and/or Slater are available when we pick, somebody has a tough decision to make.  I'd be good with any one of them strapping on a Panthers' helmet.  I am assuming Lawrence and Wilson are off the board by then, and those three would have me wringing my hands as each team above us makes their selection.

First thing. I like Fields. I think he shows promise. 

 

What does this really show? Could be. First read, no, ok go check down and not going through all the reads. Or even start running. Would be more interesting if it was after second or third read.

And what if the QB starts running.. 

This does not really say anything with context and more statistics. Do they have a more detailed description of what this is suppose to mean?

It's a counter to the argument that he is a one read QB

Just my opinion, but honestly Fields would be the slam dunk #1 QB in most other draft classes. This is just the best QB draft class in a loooooong time.

If they grade his throws and exclude his run after first read. It does not. Thats why I want the description. 

Or did I read it wrong. Is it that he throws 90% aftrr his recond read?

I agree with this opinion. And a part of me thinks that around year 3-4 he might be the best QB in this class regardless. Just not drafted first.

    • You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
    • CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee. 
    • I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
