Fields will light you up when he has a sqeuaky clean pocket, like he had all night against Clemson. When he is pressured though and his first read is covered, he falls apart and starts forcing the ball. He did it against Indiana and Northwestern. One gigantic game against a far inferior Clemson team that got no pressure and was dominated on defense, doesn't change what I saw all season. I don't draft based on what a QB could be. I draft a QB based on what I see now and what he has shown he can do on the field on a consistent basis. That's just how I project guys.

Fields has been up and down all year. Wilson was consistently good. I'll take consistency over one monster game, any day of the week.

Fields had a 41:3 TD to int ration last year and has completed 74% of his passes this year. That's pretty damn consistent. Also we all know it's against better competition than Wilson. Fields has played at a higher level for a higher time. Your reasoning for not liking Trey Lance because he had only 1 year of production and against lower competition. And yet you're in love with Wilson who has done basically exactly that. Last year he had 11 tds and 9 picks and completed 62% of his passes. You love to twist things in a way to fit your narrative.

You're just being obtuse. When it comes to a QB, this is a "what have you done for me lately" scenario. I don't care what Fields did last season. I'm looking at this year and his consistency has wavered. That's not good. I evaluate Wilson the same way, but unlike Fields, Wilson made a huge leap and got consistently better at everything. I want to see improvement from year to year and that is what Wilson did. You can complain about level of competition all you want, but I see the arm talent, athleticism and most importantly, the instincts and decision making I want in a QB when I watch Wilson play. I don't see that on a consistent basis as with Fields. You evaluate how you want and I'll evaluate how I do it. We don't have to agree. 

As far as Lance, I never said I didn't like him. I don't know very much about him. His sample size is too small. He only played one game this year and he wasn't very impressive, but it was just one game. How is anyone supposed to evaluate a QB on a one game season? I just think drafting any QB to be your franchise guy, based on a one game season is way too risky. I'm not a gambler. I look for safe picks. Lance could very well come in and light things up, but he has just as much chance at failure. I have no idea, because I haven't seen enough of him. I live in Ohio and we don't get very many NDSU games where I live. 

Calm down, take a breath and can we just agree to disagree and move on? Geez!
