The "why" isn't complicated. The outcome of almost every Fields game-winning drive in his career being a fumble or pick will erode confidence pretty quickly.

I'm not saying the conservative coaching is correct -- it isn't, Fields is the quarterback and you gotta ride it out with him regardless so may as well ask him to sling it. I don't think it's any major mystery why a coaching staff would be spooked, though.
