2021 National Championship Game Thread: Alabama vs OSU

[Patriot Killa]

Starting it early for absolutely no real reason. I’m excited to see Fields against a Bama defense. This isn’t his first rodeo seeing a SEC team being that he’s a former UGA QB.(Go Dawgs!)

Bama’s defense isn’t as special as it usually is but the offense is much more lethal than it was with Tua so it evens out nicely despite it being, maybe, a bit weaker of a defense than previous years. If Fields goes out there and tears them up with sore ribs in the cold then that definitely bodes well for us whether we want to trade the pick, pray Jacksonville wants him or even just stay put & select him at 2. Here’s to hoping Fields throws another half a dozen TD’s tonight.

It's Christmas all over again!

I can't wait to see our shiny new toy...Justin Fields!

[68JET11]

The matchup tonight to watch is Olave vs Surtain II if Saban has him covering him full time. How Olave got behind the Clemson secondary time and time again will be interesting to see if he can do it again.

PSST... Don't tell my wife I posted this ?

SORRY  THERE ALREADY IS AN OFFICIAL THREAD.  PLEASE MERGE

 

 

Should be a great game.  This is definitely must see JET TV for us.   There are several players on both squads that should be on our radar at the draft.

 

It all starts with the possible future face of the franchise.

Justin Fields playing great is good for us no matter what, so I hope he balls out

[GothamLurker]

As much as I rave about Josh Allen (& you all my grow tired of it lol), I do not think he is legit in my heart of hearts. Why? He was completing like, what....50-something % of his passes for years prior to getting Daboll and Diggs? Great players elevate their team. Average-poor players are elevated by whats around them.

The one concern of Justin for me is, when Olave was out, he looked so-so. However, the difference between this and Allen is.......Olave is probably not even a top 5 WR. Diggs was always top 3-ish. He also won, and looked good without his genius playmaker, Ryan Day.

Compared to Josh, Justin's situation may have more to do with familiarity with his WR, than being elevated by a perhaps, the top WR in the country because that is not Olave. Justin also hits routine passes, unlike Allen was prior to his new toys and O.C. Justin always looked polished 90% of the time, even in his limited games. Allen never truly looked like a pure QB.

Just one concern of Justin, from a fan. Unlike many, I can be critical of my guy. I have no bias here. Jets fan first.

Lets see how Justin does today. He has shown, that is is a moral QB. He can be had, or have mistakes like any other QB despite that amazing game.

Sleeper -  Justin Hilliard #47 OSU Linebacker. 
Not sure where he would project in the draft but the kid is always around the ball.    

 

Josh Proctor OSU safety - keep an eye on him too. He can bring the wood!

Obviously all ayes on fields. I’m also intrigued to see how Wade does vs Devonta Smith.

[nycdan]

Every time Fields completes a pass or runs for over ten yards I'm doing a shot.

I hope I'm passed out by the second offensive series.

Do a live feed like @GREENBEAN  this would be good.
