I don't know how you can justify taking Lawrence over Fields after tonight. Justin Fields put on one of the most historic performances in a playoff ever and he did it all with seriously legit bruised ribs. He so outshined TL I actually believe it now flips their draft rankings. Jets could still end up with Trevor Lawrence at #2 after the entire football world has been calling them stupid for winning a game and losing him at #1. Football is wild.
Jags #1 pick
- Thread starter DAWG61
- Start date
Trevor Lawrence is the best pro QB prospect since Andrew Luck. He is a generational once per decade type of talent. No GM would draft Fields over Lawrence. Just like no GM will draft Mac Jones over Justin Fields if Bama beats Ohio State by 6 touchdowns and Fields throws 5 picks.
I think fields is a terrible pick. If he didn’t have an Ohio state uniform on, you would have never heard of him.
I think the jury's out on Lawrence still. He didn't handle pressure very well tonight and panicked with a lot of his reads.
That said, he's a much better pro prospect than Fields. Fields will be dewayne Haskins 2.0.
His OL was getting him killed. He barely had time to throw all night. That OL got completely whipped.
I thought Lawrence was head and shoulders better than Fields before tonight. Then Fields comes out looking like Dak Prescott out there. Depending on what Fields (and maybe Mac Jones???) looks like in the championship, if Jax really doesn’t have a preference of Fields or Lawrence they could always move back a spot if the Jets were afraid the Jags were going to get their guy the Jags could probably get 2nd round pick just for moving back a spot. If they had a great espionage team they could find out that the Jets actually like Fields they could float interest then trade back getting TL whom they wanted all along and a second or they could just draft Fields and turn around and tell the jets draft TL abc give us your 2nd.
I think minshew is a good NFL QB. I would think long and hard about seeing what someone would offer for the #1 pick.
I root for Gardner to have a successful career but there’s no way in heck you pass up on Lawrence just to give Gardner more time. They are 1-14 and have started 3-4 different QBs this year, and they haven’t had a good QB in forever.
I somewhat agree. My only point is you can win games with Gardner, and if a team is willing to give three #1 picks or something crazy, I think that deserves consideration.
You can win super bowls with average QBs.
Bingo.
Although I will say I’ve seen NFL GM’s do some really dumb things by outthinking the room. But the Jags know that Lawrence will increase the worth of their franchise by $300M overnight. He’s an easy pick. I’d say as easy a pick since Andrew Luck, but it’s actually easier because the Colts had the Peyton situation to deal with.
Haskins put on some impressive performances himself and look how he turned out. Heck where are all those “special” OSU quarterbacks?
It looked like to me TL was pressured all game long, and fields had time. Credit to OSU for getting in his face. Tough to make good decisions with dudes hanging all over you all night long.
They’d both be great picks, and I can’t see how you could go wrong with either.

I don’t disagree, but that’s not the discussion. I’m just saying Lawrence is the best QB prospect since Luck. If Luck was in this class, then sure I’d take him #1.
I know it wasn’t the discussion, I was just adding a talking point. That ok, fellow bulldog?
When you think about fields last night replace that with KJ vs LSU.
Most good quarterbacks have great games. What I look for is do they make throws in tight windows when they have to and do they make good reads.
Lawrence threw a couple of darts last night but did struggle with the pressure a bit. Given that the ACC isn’t that strong there is a legit question on how he will perform with less time.
Fields looked a little better than I thought he would but that game looked a lot like our game vs Georgia where Daniels completed every deep ball and looked all world.
Bonus points for playing through what I would guess is some broken ribs.
It’s going to be interesting to see NFL scout takes on these guys in the coming months

Could be wrong, but pretty sure a UGA baseball player went used a bunch of racial slurs directed at him. So, Fields left.
He was one of the biggest recruits in the country. Honestly, he’s probably been on NFL scouts radar for three or four years now.
