Young isn't going to be a runner in the NFL though.

God I sure hope not. I mean he's gonna take big hits behind the line of scrimmage tho, of course. I'm not hoping he gets pureed but I wouldn't want a small guy for my qb because durability. I don't think the bears lose because they traded out of this pick.

Young moves around a lot in the pocket, though. He's going to take some big hits if that continues.

The point about Fields not dropping back quickly enough in the pocket is absolutely correct. He doesn't explode into the drop like many QBs do, and thus the intended rhythm/timing of many plays is disrupted. This in turn causes to run around and improvise.

The other issue that Simms cited, the "elbowy" throws, was a big problem for Fields during his rookie year but was slightly less pronounced last year. Hopefully he has continued to address his throwing motion in the offseason.

I've had trouble taking Simms seriously lately after he launched into a bizarre defense of Zach Wilson during Wilson's lowest point last year. He said something like Wilson's development took precedence over trying to make the playoffs, which was still a possibility at the time. He said other dumb stuff I can't remember. That doesn't mean he's wrong here on Fields, just remarking generally. The fact that he didn't bring a football on the set to demonstrate what he's talking about with the elbow annoyed me (he weakly said he "planned" to bring one). Be a professional and get the details right, don't mail it in like Haugh.

The scary thing is that means 4 out of 10 believe whether a person is a man or woman is NOT determined by their sex assigned at birth.

Neither point originates with Simms, he's just repeating two of the more common conventional critiques of Fields. There used to be YouTube videos discussing these mechanical issues--you can probably find them if you look.

_________________

This was one of the first image results returned after I googled "Justin Fields throwing". It perfectly captures his flawed mechanics:

_________________

When it comes to these long-term project quarterbacks/future-stars-in-waiting like Fields, Jordan Love, Trey Lance, Mac Jones et al, Mike Zimmer's brutal-but-accurate response to a question about needing to see Kellen Mond play more comes to mind: whatever we are seeing or not seeing (due to limited pass plays on game day), the coaching staffs are seeing these guys every day for months and months in training camps and practices....they should have a pretty good idea (90%+ accurate assessment? 99%? unless they suck at their jobs) of what they have in each of them going into year 3 or 4 or whatever...

How confident are you that he'll fix his mechanics? Last offseason, Getsy said they made significant changes to his footwork and tightened his throwing motion. It sounds great for print, but I wanted to hear that he was learning how to read defenses at a better clip. The videos analyzing his play last season showed a lot of instances where he didn't go through his progressions properly and missed some chances to throw. Did he not want to risk the interception? Is he just not reading through progressions quickly enough? I want to believe in the guy, but I'm fully expecting he tries too hard to fix his pocket passing and throws 20+ interceptions.

I remember seeing a few analyst reviews of Fields last year where he completely ignored an easy play or checkdown in order to scramble. If the receivers are getting separation early in the season, and he doesn't suffer from not being able to read defenses post-snap and Fields is confident in throwing into tighter windows, I think he will naturally lean towards getting the ball out instead of scrambling and running. Personally, I'm not going to worry about being discouraged until at least 4-5 weeks into the season. Be positive Nas!

Sounds like Fields has returned to his old ways in recent OTAs: interceptions, late on throws, overthrows, etc.

This is, of course, in 7 on 7s, which significantly favor the offense.

_________________

Receivers dogging it for Trask, acting like they can't get to his throws and favoring Mayfield. Surprising, you'd think it'd be the opposite. Players would
hate Mayfield and wanna help his competition.

Maybe Mayfield's one of those guys who's a fun hang at first; but then 6-12-18 months down the road, they're showing up at your house drunk at 4 AM asking if you have anything to drink and can they come in as they push their way past you and go straight for the plate of lines and kill em all before hitting on your girlfriend.

Fields can't beat the 2nd string of one of the worst defenses in football.
