His numbers weren't good but I am not putting it all on him. He missed a few throws, but he wasn't getting the time he needed because Bama was mixing up their blitzes very nicely and moving him off his spot on every throw. I think the play calling didn't help. Trey going out killed the run game.

Major thing he needs to work on besides the usual a lot of college QB's need to work on is arch on screens. He kept trying to throw it through the dline on a straight line instead of lofting it over them.

I thought for sure Dwayne was going to be a successful NFL QB. Now I am hoping Fields is since we haven't seen that much success at the position in the NFL really compared to other programs.

Difference between Fields and Haskins appears to be Fields appears have a better work ethic. Now that might change come pro's but Fields has a good example of what not to do.

Success in the NFL is about more than just raw talent. Haskins lacked maturity and work ethic and also the fact that he went from a team loaded with talent in college, to one of the worst teams in pro football. That’s why it’s hard to predict QB success because they come from ridiculously talented college teams and go to NFL teams that are poorly run and lack talent. For as good as Lawrence is, we’re all kidding ourselves if we think that he’s going to miraculously turn around the Jags. I’m actually hoping that Fields isn’t the 2nd pick to the Jets. McShay forecasted him to the Patriots, and that would be an ideal scenario.

Just for discussion: Do you think Urban Meyer might want to pick Fields #1?

Urban planner: Does Meyer's arrival with Jaguars open door for Justin Fields at No. 1?

There he sat, one of fewer than 4,000 people allowed in the building, looking down from the upper reaches of the New Orleans Superdome with his future career-changing considerations unfolding in front of his eyes.

Urban Meyer had been part of the Fox Sports pre- and postgame shows for the Clemson-Ohio State CFP semifinal game on New Year’s Day, and by that point reports of his interest in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ head-coaching vacancy were hitting a rolling boil.

On one sideline was Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence, the overwhelming favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL draft. On the other: Ohio State’s Justin Fields, coached by Meyer’s protege, Ryan Day, at a program Meyer reshaped into one of the sport’s unquestioned titans.

Oh, to crack inside Meyer’s head that night as he sat and watched Fields outplay Lawrence.

News then of Meyer interviewing with the Jaguars the previous Friday was confirmed, and two days later the Jaguars had clinched the first overall pick. If nothing else, history has shown us that Meyer is capable of smelling rare opportunities when they arise.

Meyer never coached or recruited Fields. Although he’s very close to Day and the Buckeyes’ program, there is no direct connection between Fields and Meyer. And while Meyer has gone out of his way to defend Fields’ passing ability, keep the big picture in mind.

There’s even a part of me that wonders if Meyer will even get a choice in the matter. Remember, during the Jaguars’ post mortem news conference last week, Khan — typically more of a hands-off owner in the past in terms of personnel and football-related matters — made it clear that he’ll suddenly be very involved in roster decisions.

“The candidates, the general manager candidates, I’ve been talking to them, and [I told them that] for the immediate future, I’m going to keep the roster control,” Khan said. “I want the coach to know that also.”

Just sayin': Probably not, Lawrence will be their 1st pick.
