I have never watched QB tape quite like Fields in college. Their offensive scheme was essentially Run on 1st down, RPO on 2nd down, PA deep post on 3rd. Consistently, and because they were so stacked at the WR position he was able to consistently throw it to the first read. 

Fields is basically learning how to get past his 2nd and 3rd reads in progression for the first time in the NFL, and it reflected how poor his first 2 seasons have been. This is why he almost immediately takes off and runs when he realizes option #1 is covered. 

He could absolutely become a good QB one day, but his transition to the NFL was always going to be extremely difficult because he wasn't properly prepared for it at all.

Manning or Brady could play in that same brain dead system and still be elite QBs. Any of these QBs can click at any time. 

I’m not underrating anybody. Look at what Josh Dobbs almost did in week 18 last season.

I agree, they absolutely could. All i'm saying is the transition from playing in an offense that almost has no requirement for you to go past your second read on a pass play to having to deal with NFL defenses where YOU HAVE TO go through your reads, it's an extremely big learning curve. He has talent, but the question is can he acclimate himself, his arm talent means nothing if he can't properly go through his progressions.
