Justin Fields threw to his primary target on 218 of his 225 pass attempts last season

Fields’ talent remains apparent. At his best, he was viewed as a QB1 challenger. Nevertheless, beyond Fields’ raw abilities, there are other factors to consider. And according to Pro Football Network NFL Chief Draft Analyst Tony Pauline, he is hearing that Fields’ draft stock is dropping on some boards.
According to Pauline, there are concerns in the NFL community revolving around Fields’ ability to consistently scan the field and go through his progressions.
“The main concern is that Justin Fields stares down the primary target. He doesn’t look away from the primary target. He doesn’t process things as quickly as they want him to. During the Senior Bowl, I mentioned how there was one team who has broken down all of Justin Fields’ passes in 2020. They said that just seven times, he looked off the primary target. The other 200+ passes he threw to his primary target.”

What have the 49ers done to themselves

Mac Jones to the 49ers
Being serious for a second, I’m aids at projecting NFL guys. But I’ve never been impressed by anything other than Fields’ raw talent. And even then, it looks overrated a bit to my eye. His 4.44 40 was clearly an impressive time, but didn’t look impressive at all. He looked clunky and slow.
He doesn’t seem quick enough to be the dynamic duel threat and also doesn’t seem aware of what’s going on enough to be the solid pocket passer.
TLDR: I’m an idiot and don’t really know what I’m looking at

Man just think.
Alabama had 4 first round wide receivers in 2017 and 3 NFL QBs, 2 of which are likely top 5 draft picks at the end of it all.
Oof. And that was one of Nick’s worst teams too. Why are all of Nick’s most talented teams his worst?

It’s not gonna be Mac Jones or Justin Fields to SF at 3.
It’ll be Trey Lance.
He’s the one you want, he’s got it all.
Size, strength, speed, and after watching/listening to his interviews, he’s the kind of guy you want.
Hell, I don’t even think he’s been playing football that long - but I could be wrong on that.
Either way, it’s Lance at 3.

One thing to consider is that this is the time teams and agents start putting out to force some prospects to drop or rise

Simi annual OSU bust QB
Posted on 4/2/21 at 12:01 am to Bench McElroy
But he’s really good at deep balls during a pro day with no defense on the field.

This has never happened before. It took scouts months to figure it out. Probably the same ones that thought Matt Leinart was a Top 5 pick.

So much talent but he’s just not a worker ImO. Things have come incredibly easily for him his entire career bc of his off the chart athleticism
Posted on 4/2/21 at 6:42 am to Bench McElroy
So he’s not supposed to throw to his primary target if they are open?
What about 47% of Mac Jones passing yards coming after the catch? And the fact he lapped the field on passes behind the LOS?
ETA. There are multiple professionals who are actually putting their names behind their statements and saying the Fields doesn’t go through his progressions argument is bullshite.

People always accused me and other UGA fans of being butthurt or mad or whatever by questioning fields' abilities and mega stats he was putting up at OSU but the OP really puts it into perspective.
At UGA fields admittedly was a true freshman and did not get a lot of throwing opportunities. On passing plays he would often panic adn run, and when he did throw it was often to his first read. But again, chalk that up to youth.
At OSU he went to a system more designed to his skills and played in a weaker conference so he flourished. People still questioned how good he "actually" was though compared to guys like burrow or tua who were doing a lot more nuanced things at the position. I think if a team takes fields in the top 5 they're going to be sorely disappointed if they expect him to lead an NFL team.

But he threw it rolling left a long way.
Pro days and the 40 yard dash are the biggest overblown events

218/225 is insane. That’s an extreme where it’s become a crutch and he may not be able to break the bad habit

Feel like Fields is a perfect fit for the Raiders. Stud athlete that will end up not translating to the NFL bc he has nothing except his athleticism

Why are some not letting others criticize Justin Fields?
Wait I know the answer

An OSU QB without proper fundamentals? No way
Posted on 4/2/21 at 10:24 am to Bench McElroy
So Garrett Wilson is going to be a top 10 pick is what you are saying?
Posted on 4/2/21 at 10:45 am to Bench McElroy
Well if the primary target is open why should he go on to 2 or 3?
But in reality who made this stat up? Do they know the reads of tOSU offense?
