1-1-2021: The Official NCAA College Football Game Thread (New Years Day Playoffs special)

[greengeek]

 
Pretty much.  Fields doesn't look like a bad consolation prize at all.  And if JAX outsmarts themselves and takes Fields first then the Jets will gladly scoop up TL.
The only real loser tonight is probably Sam Darnold.
Atlanta in the mix for the Fields/Wilson leftover.

Indeed. Tonight sealed Sam’s fate. We’re taking one of tonight’s QB’s at #2.

Seeing as he has never throw for 350 and only once had a 4 TD game, safe to say it’s very unlikely!

# 1 reason why the Jets have to move on. With his INTs you live with it if he is a gunslinger. Not for a game manager though and that is what he has been on the good days so far.

Me too. 

I never wanted Zach Wilson. 

I wanted to see JF look great after losing out on Lawrence and look at him now; Fields looks awesome. 

I'm getting sold right now too @Maxman

Already can't wait to see him against ALABAMAAAA

Hopefully no major damage to his mid section.  Checking all the boxes tonight.  Love his demeanor.  

[Defense Wins Championships]

@JiF

I'm sorry

[Jetsbb]

Yea. Avatar changed!

[NamathToCaster]

Fire Marshall Bill has his hands full.

You're right man. 

Fk Sewell. 

Fields is selling me hard right now. 

If he lights up Alabama?

I'm 100% sold. 

[greengeek]

Incredibly accurate. 4 touchdowns. Toughness of the charts.
This kid is answering the critics. He legit won me over tonight. I thought Wilson would be the 2nd QB taken. Now I am wondering if Lawrence is the 2nd QB taken. 

1000X yes. Actions speak in sports. Tonight Fields is taking action to ensure that he and TL are 1&2 (in some order).

At the very least what we’re witnessing tonite might open up an interesting scenario. What is the Jets and Jax thinking right now? Could the Jets trade up to the 1 spot which was not possible earlier today? With Fields playing at such a high level along with Lawrence’s ineffectiveness, You would think that Jax has to be concerned. It’s a sure bet we would be if the Jets had the 1st pick. This could make for an interesting draft night.

[pdxgreen]

There's a Jet's rule about not drafting QB's that don't drink alcohol.  Instilled after Namath was drafted.  Sorry Zach.  You'll do well.  I am sure of it.

[Jetsfan80]

We may get STUCK with Trevor, you mean!

[Guilhermezmc]

You need a qb to win in this league, just look at the Browns and Joe Thomas. It's Fields or Zach Wilson at 2.

[HawkeyeJet]

Not saying the Jets should trade it, but this half just upped the ante for #2 overall by a King's ransom.

Tonight is giving me the exact opposite thought. You stay put at 2 and don't trade up or down. You are walking away with a QB either way.

[Jimmy 2 Times]

Man, why are we forced to watch Clemson get their asses kicked in every big game?

Last year LSU beat them down, now OSU is killing them.

I bet Oklahoma would be doing better.   

[freestater]

we're gonna get Justin Fields and get rid of Adam Gase. 

2021 looking pretty good already. 

[kevinc855]

This is Gona help our coaching search. New hc can work with fields or tl

After this game it’s debatable who goes 1

That’s what he was told to be at all costs not what he truly is 

[Larz]

Can someone shop fields onto Kate? Lololol

I think this is the main takeaway from this game.  Any new HC worth his salt is going to want to work with fields or Wilson, depending on scheme.

They might get a motivated Trevor with a chip on his shoulder. And they might have some young Jets that ended the season with a 3 day winning streak. 

But we can revisit the tanking conversation in February haha!

Quick....to the Mock Draft sites! 

Trade down with Cincy so they can take Sewell, Atlanta went with Wilson at #4.   

Nice.  But don't show this to JD.  Its not worth the risk.

[Lupz27]

The guys saying it’s gonna be debatable who goes 1 seriously?  

[Jetsfan80]

Goodbye Sam. Our next QB is on the field right now. GTFO

True. But hot damn if Joe Douglas bets on Sam after what Fields look like he can be, ah.....not sure how he can do that.

We’ll see how much of a gambler douglas is in a few months.

It’s amazing what a half of national TV football can do for a player

Isn't Trevor a devout Southern Baptist drone? They supposedly don't drink, either.

I am very happy tonight. After these worthless 2 wins, I was disgusted. JF is impressive and very worthy of #2.

Macc was eviscerated by fans and pundits alike for passing on Mahomes and Watson when we didn’t have a FQB. JD ain’t making that mistake.

[KRL]

Will Ryan Day become a candidate on Douglas list?  We were
thinking about an Lawrence/Elliott combo how about a Fields/Day
combo?
