Fields is also the dude who has to by far "create more time to throw" because of s shitty O-Line and a collapsing pocket all of the time.
That's not what the stats indicate. 4 seconds is more than enough time to throw. When 80% of your sacks come from after 4 seconds it means you are holding onto the ball too long. Now, it would be easy to overlook this if he had gaudy passing stats which indicated that he was extending plays while not just throwing it away and it was resulting in major yardage as plays broke down but that is clearly not the case.
4 seconds isn't a collapsing pocket.
Here is an entire game filled with "collapsing pockets" Brick. And hardly an "outlier" either.
https://youtu.be/nhF7ApctAsE?si=VqYA4FcLTE_mCCISThe stats are clear. 80% of his sacks came from after 4 seconds. That is more than enough time to throw the ball away or make a throw with a chance of gaining positive yardage. Every QB in the league does it.
In fact, if the OL is as bad as you say it is then it is MORE reason to get the ball out fast. Let's say it was the worst in the league. Why are you waiting 4 seconds to throw? If you trust your OL maybe you can extend it out but your argument seems to be the OL was terrible, Fields knew it was terrible, and he still waiting longer than anyone in the league does to throw the ball. Honestly, that's probably the biggest indictment of the football acumen of Fields that you can make.
Fields got the ball out fast on Sunday. The throws were often not great though.
But, Williams took 2 sacks on Sunday. Fields average 3.3 sacks per game.
It's only 1 game, but Williams had 2.1 in the pocket before pressure. That's the second lowest time in the league.
Last year, Fields had 2.8 in the pocket before pressure which was the best in the league. Fields took 44 sacks in 13 games which is 3.38.
So, Williams had .7 less seconds to throw, and took less sacks than Fields averaged last year. So, you have inadvertently proven my point at least for one game.
