No we wouldn't have. Because why? Because we were setting the world on fire when Fields was in there? I really don't understand. The LAST person that should be catching ANY criticism, is the true freshman QB. Go through the entire laundry list before his name should even be mentioned. You act like we were doing anything before Fields went out. It's insane.
The QB had nothing to do with that loss for God's sake. You honestly think we would have won that game with Fields in there? When exactly was he gonna "turn it on" and take us to victory? He wasn't. Thus veteran led team and coaching completely s___t the bed and we're talking about a true freshman that "couldn't win the game"????
Also. Would love to know who told you Lunch would've been #3.
Fields went out 3 minutes into the second quarter and it was 7-3. They were driving and had a 4th and 2. Beale went in and didn’t convert. Huge momentum shift.
Then it was 3 plays punt
5 plays interception
3 plays punt
7 plays for 13 yds punt.
How long did you expect the defense to be able to stop them when we were punting the ball away without any time of possession.
I’m not blaming Beale at all but I believe that Fields would have extended those drives and kept our defense off the field for longer.
When you’re down to your 3rd string freshman qb, the play book is just limited, there is no way around that.
