Moore comments on throwing session with Williams

I agree with all of that.  We will never know how it would have played out differently with Fields.  My gut feeling (which is worthless) is that Caleb Williams does possess better skills than Fields.  But that doesn't mean Fields is a bum... just that he's at a talent level somewhere below CW.  I'm ready to move on now.  I'm looking forward to the present team and season, and beyond. 

On that note, I'm with you that there will be a transition period and a learning curve now.  New coaching staff and new players and QB1.  New schemes and playbook too.  Keep in mind that the CBA limits practices now - and even if we did have more practice time before the regular season, there's stuff that has to be learned in real games - games that matter to both teams, not the preseason stuff.  That learning curve only begins in September, 2024.  And it's going to be this young/inexperienced team running the gauntlet of the NFCN teams that are ahead of us... even the Vikings should be a tough out this year, whether folks want to believe that or not, they won't be an easy win.  There is a reason why the betting over/under is 8.5 games and not the 10 and 11 wins us fans are dreaming about.  But we are on a high right now after the draft and the sky is the limit and the Kool Aid is flowing.  And nothing wrong with that.  I'm in that 10 win mode myself.  Probably delusional thinking but fans are allowed to be delusional.  Part of being fans.     

I would not say it evaporated quickly, but it struck me that as much as he liked Fields, in a very short session (and not in a game situation where you could really practice anticipation - remember, this was catch and throw) he could tell that there was more anticipation. It says he saw it as a deficit in Field and that he saw that Williams had it. It was a major comment that held a lot of weight. At least for me.
