He's 48-55 for 594 yards and 6 TDs and you have to ask that question? I believe he is at least as gifted as Haskins passing the ball. He's making every throw imaginable and they are all on target and in stride.

What I'm referring to is eye movement, processing speed of his progressions, ball placement, throwing off pace, pocket footwork, etc etc. Completion percentage is about as poor of a metric as you could possibly throw out there, especially in the modern college game. But I appreciate you playing.

Justin does go through his progressions quite well, though maybe slightly worse than Haskins, probably the only advantage id give Haskins at this point though. And on ball placement, Fields has been more accurate through two games this year than Dwayne ever was. Dwayne was great, but he never looked this good. Period.

Neat. If this were true, Clemson would have been in our rear-view mirror.

I get what I'm saying won't be popular, but I don't just say shit to be contrarian.

Um what? What do the first two games of this season have to do with last year's playoff game? I never said Fields was a better thrower than Haskins last season. Irrelevant point. I appreciate your desire to be right though.

He’s got 7 incompletions and is responsible for an equal number of TDs (6 passing, 1 running).

When the TD number isn’t bigger than the incompletion number, we’re going to expect more.

Well, Fields is still the starting QB from last year, correct?. So naturally where we left off the season against a quality opponent will be used as a benchmark. So there's that. Meanwhile you said...

So which is it? Fields is a better passer than Haskins now? And if so, are you only using the 1st two games of the season as your demonstration to show marked improvement from the Clemson game?
