Well said! Difference between Winston & Fields is trust. A.G. is old school. When your coach tells you to do something, don't care it's the NFL, you do it. I wouldn't trust Winston as far as I could throw him. When you are a brand new regime the last thing you do is put your team in the hands of someone you can't trust. That's just smart football coaching.
We didn’t see much of Fields in preseason games, but what little we did see just leaves me with no confidence that he’s anything more than he’s been so far…he will be inaccurate and will miss throws that kill drives…he will hold the ball too long and will take sacks that will kill drives…we will run a lot but the inevitable holding penalty will be too much to overcome and will kill drives…in and among there he will break out some big runs and it’ll be exciting, but I think we will struggle to hit 20 points per game, and I think we will struggle to win more than a handful of games, especially early as our starting schedule is a bit tough…this thing may look better in the back half of the year than it does early, but I think the hole we’ll dig will be too much to crawl out of…I’m sticking to my guess of 4-6 wins
Honestly, how so? You can trust Winston is a pretty decent QB who makes some boneheaded turnovers. We can’t even trust that Fields is a pretty decent QB. Look I get it, I’ve been defending the Fields move because at least there’s hope of “a chance”, but if the chance doesn’t happen this offense is going to be astonishingly bad. I can’t see how you can say you trust Fields at anything better than Winston.
That’s goofy. The entire offense wanted to give Jamaal Williams the ball for his lone touchdown of the year in week 18. Teams do stuff like this all the time even if they “defied” the coach. Russell Wilson threw a WR screen to Lockett when he was on the Seahawks instead of kneeing the ball to get him a bonus for eclipsing his catch total needed. Is he a “smart ass clown” too? Winston can wing the ball around. He turns the ball over a lot but he can throw teams back into games. I don’t think Fields can. Being a good guy only gets you so far in this league.
Let me add 9-8. For perspective, that’s: More passing yards and TDs than Jalen Hurts More Rushing TD than Jayden Daniels Same exact comp % as Josh Allen More rushing yards than every QB not named Lamar Jackson or Jayden Daniels Fields has improved every single year he’s been in the league. If that pattern continues in his next 17, I think we’ll be fine. If it doesn’t, we draft a QB.next year. Shit we might draft a QB even if the pattern continues. For the life of me, I don’t get all the angst. There’s something strange going on.
I wouldn't mind a QB who starts every presser with: "F*ck her right in the pussy!!" Woody would love it. He'd probably get a F*ck her Right In The Pussy!! gold pendent to wear in the locker room
Jokes on you because, as a nihilist, I know that we will never get Arch Manning, but I still want the opportunity to draft him (#1 overall pick here we come!) so his family can publicly humiliate Woody Johnson by saying there is no way in hell they'd ever let their kid play for this truly terrible franchise.
