QB Justin Fields (2019-20 B1G Off POY, 2020 Silver Football, 2019 B1G CCG MVP, Pittsburgh Steelers)

He thrived on contact in highschool when he ran the ball, we're gonna have to tone it down a little.

I'm evaluating him as Braxton.. and how every defense was petrified of Braxton's legs
which greatly helped his passing.. defenses were traumatized... pick your poison...
rush him too hard and regret flushing him out of the pocket
or take your chances letting him pass.. to this pack of Zone 6 studs...

Yeap, thats my read too. Brax with less jitter, better touch, and hopefully a little better from the pocket. Brax could throw some ropes too... like that Wiscy 1st half ender.

And with the ability to correctly read and execute the zone read, unlike Braxton

“He’s Braxton, with more of this, less of that, and hopefully a little more of this but less of that.”

If a running QB makes it through 15 games unscathed, we should be in fine shape.

We might run the ball less with the QB now than we did with Haskins. We are one play away from the reign of Chug, which feels like the basketball equivalent of having Titus as the 6th man. Just thought about it and what a weird roller coaster of emotions we've gone through at QB. A year ago I could have told you our depth chart would go Haskins, Tate Martell, and Emory Jones...

Fields can't throw like Haskins, though.

I know it, but he also can't afford to be hurt now that Baldwin is gone. Fields runs it better, Haskins threw it better, but we have to adapt with zero depth.

I'd say you just have to be smart... get him out of games as quick as you can, run the ball, and save his legs for the big games.

If you play not to be injured, guess what? You get injured.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

We've got a really good quarterback who can run
Let's not run him though, because he might get hurt
If he's hurt, he can't play
And we need him to play because he's good
He's good because he can run
But we're not gonna run him, because he might get hurt
If he's hurt, he can't play

 

[Jaxbuck]

And we need him to play because he's good

and because the guys who would replace him, are not
