Exactly, if you just looked at the stat line from an efficiency perspective, you'd think there is little or no room for improvement. But watching him over the course of last season, you could see several areas to improve on, namely anticipation and quicker decision making. The beautiful thing is that's an area that can be easily improved in the film room and practice, and an area I would expect to see an improvement with one year in our system.
One thing I'll throw out to balance the unbridled optimism some: Olave is a proven star and Wilson looks to be the next superstar at WR. Jameson also looks to have huge upside. But we're going to need some incoming freshman to make the leap and mesh with Fields quickly. We've never had a more talented class come in and the good news is that they are not only crazy talented, but we have at least 3 of the freshman that look very polished and are willing blockers. That should pay off, but with the limitations associated with Covid, I do worry some about the incoming freshman meshing with Fields early on. I'm sure they're communicating regularly to learn the system and maybe they're getting some reps together on the side, but nothing beats live reps in practice. I see the offense being very explosive still and can't wait to watch the freshman WRs, just throwing out some caution.
To me, that's really the only question mark on the offensive side of the ball. OL should be dominant again, Fields is a Heisman front runner for good reason, Olave and Wilson should be deadly, and Ruckert at TE could be fun to watch if we use him (TE room in general looks great).
