Fields saw one on one with no safety help over the top. Fields made the correct read and he’s gotta go to Robinson there every single time in that scenario.
Robinson NEEDS TO MAKE THAT CATCH, pure and simple. He wants elite WR money? That’s a catch Hopkins makes every time.
No excuses

Heck, that's a catch I expect our local high school WRs to make under the Friday night lights here in town. I mean, that ball was as catchable as you're gonna get in football at any level, high school, college or pro ball. It made me sick to watch that drop.
I doubt that we see Allen Robinson do a drop like that again this season though. These first two games had a number of mistakes. I guess that's why I didn't understand the reaction over rookie Justin Fields' mistakes. I can forgive a kid new to the league, and playing the most difficult position in football - making a handful of errors. I have a more difficult time forgiving a guy like ARob making mistakes though. I totally expect Fields to make a lot of mistakes his first year of starting at QB. That's just part of drafting a QB. Trevor Lawrence has had 2 games starting and he's (understandably) making the usual rookie QB mistakes. He completed 42% of his passes yesterday and gave away 2 ints. Nobody is saying he should be benched.
Wilson was pretty bad, we've seen Burrow first hand who's not finished a full season yet. Young QBs make mistakes, they will learn from it. Fields statline would look that much better without that Robinson drop.
