how much of this knock is a Justin Fields issue vs the offense Ohio State runs. because thats the point of a spread offense, quickly identify the mismatch and get the ball to the man. he's not needing to go thru 2 or 3 reads
Pauline attributes the stock decline to Fields’ inability to work through receiver progressions — something that’s paramount at the NFL level. Team’s are reportedly starting to recognize the QB’s tunnel-vision approach to the passing game.
“The main concern is that Justin Fields stares down the primary target. He doesn’t look away from the primary target,” Pauline said. “He doesn’t process things as quickly as they want him to. During the Senior Bowl, I mentioned how there was one team who has broken down all of Justin Fields’ passes in 2020. They said that just seven times, he looked off the primary target. The other 200+ passes he threw to his primary target.”
