:ohhh:
Where he needs to improve: Vision is the main area where Fields needs to improve. It's most glaring in blitz recognition. He was consistently late last season when opponents sent extra numbers at him. He froze up, held the ball for too long and took bad sacks. The good news is, I believe he can improve in this facet with increased reps and experience.

He also needs to clean up some footwork issues. He's very accurate on the move, but his accuracy suffers when he resets after being moved off his spot inside the pocket.

There were also a few times when I noticed him getting a little too aggressive trying to jam the ball into heavy traffic. This isn't a huge issue, in my opinion. I'm OK with aggressive mistakes at certain points in the game.

Biggest takeaway: Fields has a lot to work with at the position. He can make every throw and he's an incredible athlete. For someone who was operating in a new system and environment last season, his production was outstanding. I thought his play did slip a little bit at the end of the year, due to a knee injury suffered against Penn State (he said he suffered an MCL sprain on the final play of the game). His return to full health, plus the added time in head coach Ryan Day's offense, should lead to an even better season in 2020.

He reminds me of: I see a lot of similarities to Dak Prescott when he was coming out of Mississippi State. Both play the position with a physicality and toughness that I admire. Dak was similarly effective in the QB run game, and they both possess the playmaking skills to bail out a bad play call. Dak made tremendous strides as a passer during his final season in college, and I expect to see similar improvement from Fields in 2020.
Scouting Justin Fields: Ohio State QB similar to Dak Prescott

Clark Phillips made the bad decision to flip here to play for this faq. Hate to see a black man blow a once in a lifetime chance to play at the GOAT program.
