Crazy that he's only lost 11 of them though. Lawrence had 12 last year and lost 9 of them. Is there an art to fumbling the right way?
A lot of these fumbles are actually just bad shotgun snaps by the center (we have the worst snapping center in the world if you don't know) that count as a fumble against Fields.
bad snaps by the center should be charged as a fumble by the center: https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/jgrar5/stat_question_if_a_center_snaps_the_ball_over_the/g9s1p35/
I'm surprised to learn they're not. I think a fumble is generally credited to the last player that controlled the ball. So a qb will always be credited for a bad qb-rb exchange, for example, even if it's the rb's fault.
