"It was a worst-case scenario" - It was 2022 all over again.

That's "it" in a nutshell.  You can't be a pocket quarterback on a team that doesn't have a pocket to pass from.  LOL, this isn't rocket science here.  It's "Football 101" stuff.  Get an OL that can give the QB a pocket to pass from and then see if the QB can be a good pocket passer.  Right now we can't even evaluate that part of Fields' game.  I'm thinking Fields may be damaged goods now and seeing ghosts for the rest of whatever NFL career is left for him after this year.  He looked like a guy who has regressed from 2022.  He is staring down receivers more than I've ever seen before.  He is not processing the game quickly... or accurately.  And the play calling is so bad right now.  It all adds up to a big mess.  It's the football equivalent of having your toilet back up into your home spewing crap all over.  This offense is kind of like that mental picture for me.  Ugly and stinks - and it's going to be a tough nasty job to clean this up.  And I'm not sure these coaches have the mental gears to clean up this mess - LOL, they're the ones who plugged this toilet to begin with.
