As per my opinion on him, I feel that he will be very good within the NFL once he gets his feet wet sort of speaking and this can/should be said for ALL QBs. Within the past four days I've watched a ton of his highlights and the one thing that impressed me the most is his running ability. He runs better than I anticipated.
Surprise, Surprise.
Now if I'm truly being honest as I give My Opinion(s), for some reason I'd rather we draft Fields. Both have tremendous arms, both are accurate as all get out. Fields has better field vision w/respect to where the ball needs to go (verified by analysts) and Fields is a Much Better runner and we may need that in the EARLY stages of our new QB's career. All and all we will be alright w/either player.
Time Will Tell.
NH3...
I think this may be better said that Fields may have more upside. I don't like his tendency to one read and go, but that may be by design. Just look at the contested TD to the TE in the sugar bowl, he had a wide open guy running right, and got VERY lucky that the pass he threw even got to his receiver.
I am horribly conservative when it comes to risk/reward, so I take the surer thing that may not have as many red flags, but may also have less unlocked potential.

Becoming a professional or a "franchise quarterback" is pretty much a 50/50 thing. I get amused by people that think that the team will make "multiple playoff runs" and this college quarterback will "bring a championship" because he is on the team.
I am by nature usually an optimist, but not so much when it comes to drafting quarterbacks.
Thrice burned, [whatever fourth time doing something] shy?
