Cam Heyward got hurt and didn't return for the 2nd half. There was zero pass rush once he left and the coverage was atrocious. Watt was not the same guy without him. The wr's would make one move and separate and there was no safety help at all. I see most people are crowning Fields but that looked like he was running the Ohio State offense vs Rutgers. No pass rush and wr's open by a good 5-10 yds. 35 for Pitt is hopefully out of work after that game. The throw to old man river graham was in a very tight window but the rest looked like a typical OSU game.

He does have room to ascend...currently only Zack Wilson has a lower QB rating.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

He made a nice throw to ARob on that long completion .

I don't think Mac has been spectacular, but he clearly has been the best because of coaching and his ability to see the field. The past 2 weeks from Fields probably moves him to 2nd. Lawrence and Wilson have absolutely sucked despite getting every rep with the #1's on offense. Trey Lance looks like he's going to need to sit for the next 3 years.

And do you think he's going to stay there?

In your estimation, what does the future hold for Fields?

Why not? Honest question. Interested in your reasoning.

I think his hands are undersized, which will make him prone to fumbling and not allow him to be in that top tier of arm talent which requires large hands and a strong grip.

He doesn't seem to have the elusiveness of Wilson as far as never taking a direct hit.

Finally, I think there are reasons he wasn't taken until 11th in the draft, and I don't think Pace outsmarted anyone. Clearly he came from a top program and had outstanding performance in college in the biggest games...which makes you wonder why he wasn't drafted higher. After he beat Clemson, I was one of the few people saying he should go higher than Lawrence. And I stand by that -- but that's partly because I don't think Lawrence is good.

Doesn't Fields have basically the same size hands (9.25 in) as Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers (9.38 in)?

Google says 9 1/8 for hands.

Small-Handed Quarterbacks Who Excel

There are some quarterbacks with small hands who have bucked the trend to play well in the NFL, too. But as I studied those quarterbacks, it became clear that the majority have one thing in common—mobility. Some of the top small-handed quarterbacks to play in the past decade include Michael Vick (historically small 8.5-inch hands), Colin Kaepernick (9.13 inches), Robert Griffin III (9.5 inches), Daunte Culpepper (9.5 inches), Aaron Rodgers (9.38 inches), and Tony Romo (8.86 inches).

All of those passers are either runners or have well above-average mobility in the pocket. Romo is the least athletic by far, but even he has been able to work wizardry in the pocket at times to buy time for receivers.

Thus, I think what we’re seeing here is that quarterbacks either need to have above-average hand size or above-average mobility to ultimately do what passers need to do to win—deliver the football with accuracy. If you aren’t going to be able to stand in the pocket and consistently throw the ball accurately like Peyton Manning, you better be able to move around, buying time to make those throws easier.

When quarterbacks have both traits—like Russell Wilson, for example—it’s perhaps a really strong sign that they’re going to perform above expectations in the NFL.

It's an interesting debate.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Fields has already tied Mitch (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky’s total of 20-plus pass plays from 2020, and he’s five away from passing Nick Foles. His passes are averaging three more air yards per attempt than both quarterbacks.

Why are we talking about small hands when we should be talking about short memories. Let us go back in time to Mitch's rookie year as well as his first year with Nagy. Fields has been a turnover machine as well as a tackling dummy in the backfield. As Tom Kiefer once said "you don't now what you got till its gone, you pretend your new piece is better than the last even if you're wrong"

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.
