All we've been asking for is him to show he has the ability to win a game with the ball in his hands in the final 2 minutes. He played okay despite the play-calling and had 2 bad fumbles.
But he got them in position to win the game so none of that other stuff really matters.
He put up 12 points when his defense turned the other team over four times. Doesn’t make it okay just because the other offense was worse. Fields has to go
How are you going to set fields up as the problem when every play was him passing behind the line of scrimmage? Dude literally had barely any intermediate, ‘read the field’ kinda plays. Just screen, run, screen for every set of downs tonight
Because we watch the games and see that whenever he is given intermediate, "read the field" kinda plays he either sits in the pocket for 4 seconds before rolling out and throwing away, dumps it off to a running back for 2 yards, or rushes for 6 yards (its 3rd and 10 and Mooney is open 20 yards downfields). Then becomes more of an offensive threat for the opposition as soon as the 4th quarter hits.
Getsy needs to go, but its disingenous to act like the neutered playcalling isn't in part influenced by the lack of faith Fields has shown should be placed in him.
It's ironic cause last night was arguably Fields' best night so far at reacting to pressure and making scrambling of off cadence throws. When scrambling he consistently kept his eyes downfield and manipulated defenders into uncovering a receiver downfield instead of settling for tucking it and running it
