Big issue with OSU qb's is how well can they really read defenses; Meyer and Day run a lot of spread looks (not read options anymore, though they do run situationally).
I hate to say, in some ways, he reminds me of Trubisky...very good athlete that flashes at times...but is he going to be consistent at the NFL level, where your windows are a lot smaller and you don't have the ability to out recruit your opponents.
Jones seems to be the perfect QB for the Pats. Very accurate at the college level and a guy that plays within the system...but does that accuracy carry over to the NFL where you don't have Waddle, Smith, Ruggs and Jeudy and Metchie to throw too?

I would worry about Fields behind a not great offensive line, and I don't know much about the Bears line, if you can contain him and force him to work the pocket, I think its a problem, his in pocket game isn't his strengths, its what he does on the move that's really great.
I can't believe the Pats got Jones, what a mana from heaven for them. He's in my mind a high IQ QB, that can understand reads, he won't murder you with his arm strength, but he will murder you if he gets time in the pocket to get to the third read.
