I was very impressed by Trevor's release and velocity. Reminded me of Herbert. Yeah. If I had to admit, TL has as much natural talent than any recent QB I've ever seen. Where Herbert separates from him is the ability to process the game. His game IQ is off the charts and he just reads things extremely fast. Like he made a pre throw adjustment on the safety that I've only seen the top QBs like Peyton pull off. But TL in raw talent makes throws that I never saw Herbert consistently make in college. Elway throws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lose because OSU's secondary and edge can't contain the Tide, but Fields still manages a good fame, its not going to affect his evaluation all. If he crumbles against their D, it might be another story, but even against the best defenses he's played, he has still managed *decent* games. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheMo Posted January 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2021 I get whiplash from you guys. So reactionary. As I’ve said Lawrence’s body of work makes him #1 in my book. Fields is also a ridiculously good and just needs more reps/good coaching since he’s played less. He’s the clear cut #2 and should have always been. Don’t want a kid from BYU who had an entire mediocre season last year and has two shoulder surgeries. 5 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really true, most of that nonsense is media and fan driven, I think what many of you are missing is like Lawrence, Fields has always been highly regarded and has played just as well throughout his career. All this game do was show the ignorant hive mind, that nothing is set in stone with these players and a grave mistake could be made when Jacksonville selects Trevor over Justin. The one thing thing I personally seen was everyone pampering Trevor, something about it just didn’t sit right with me, especially when your rival is out there with potentially broken ribs, riding a bike toughing it out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people who are based in the sciences and data type jobs are less prone to this. This kind of thinking leads to bad decisions from medicine to the NFL draft. So it’s less to do with football and more to do with properly judging input data.

One bad game erased an incredible career in the eyes of many. Today was just a reminder to those folks.

I don't disagree with that but we're now talking about the finer details between #1 and #2. It's gonna be a really fine toothed comb from here on out. And just like TLaw crying while his coach covered his face, everything is going to get blown up to Big Gulp proportions. We know it's coming. I'm just gonna enjoy the process. A lot happens between now and the draft. The combine included. Fields can absolutely jump TLaw in that time. Especially if he has another game anything like tonight. In the same way, if Bama gets to him and he plays poorly the narrative will be that he can;t handle NFL level competition or something like that. Right or wrong, its comin.

Jet2020 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 This was the first college game I watched this year only to see why we should or should not select Fields 2nd overall Observation: I used to be a scout back a few years ago. No longer one so take my observations with a grain of salt ? Fields: Thoroughly impressed. Great deep ball accuracy, nice touch, scanned the field when needed, and good decision making. Likes to sling it around. Solid arm strength. Showed good vision and can move the defenders with his eyes. He also showed some tendencies to lock on to his first read and force plays. Was lucky on that second TD but also displayed the ability to shoot passes through right windows. Saw the int but was a little distracted with my kids. Thought it was tipped. He was under pressure and made a very bad throw even if it was tipped. Had triple coverage and I think it would’ve been up for grabs had it not been a floater. Reminded me of Sanchez. Good, athletic runner. Very fast for a QB that is known for his passing. Not scared to hit but as we saw, he will need to be molded into a more classical pocket passer to reduce the injury threat. Definitely should go second at the very least. Lawrence: He’s tall. Stands out. Can see the field. Relies on his playmakers. Loves to check down but does take deep shots when needed or sees the opportunity. Does lock in to his first read for longer than he should. Will not be good at the pros where you don’t get 5 seconds to throw. Good accuracy can bail him out most of the time but good NFL safeties will trap him. Had good stats but didn’t put up a good fight. Stopped watching after the third quarter. Sermon: Showed up nicely on the stats but his major and obvious weakness is his speed. Looked very slow. Very shifty and powerful. Closest Jet comparison would be Shonn Greene. Could be a good third day pickup. I don’t see him in the top 3 rounds, maybe not even in the 4th round. Today’s performance just might Squeeze him into the 4th. Don’t be fooled by one game, his stats show why you can wait until the 5th, although he looked amazing today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 5 hours ago, Embrace the Suck said: Why? Non of what I heard about him was not on display tonight. I understand I only watched one game of college for either QB, but Fields looks studly whereas TL looks like a tall goofy guy with little pocket presence. One game doesn't make a career, but I'm far less upset about being at @2 if the JAGs draft TL @1 and Fields is there for the taking. Sign me up for Sermen and that 6'6 Te too. Same reasons people knocked me for wanting Fields at #2, told me he would bust? Now they would take Fields over Lawrence. Feeding my theory that like Wilson, this is a one game reaction trumping a career. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
