We have to wonder about Justin Fields now.

That hit from scale ski in the college football playoff that got him ejected for targeting on Justin Fields.

We all understand that Justin Fields was not 100%.

We saw a stud last year that what did he do the previous year for 41 touchdowns?

I think it was 41 touchdowns, just three interceptions.

We get all of that and he played in 14 games this year, obviously with things up in the air because of covert and what have you, uh, you know, only played eight games, had 21 22 touchdowns, six interceptions.

He wasn't that impressive game against Northwestern.

You have critics looking at him right now.

Questioning to some degree is accuracy again.

I know that he could make things happen at one point in time.

I remember being on this show and asking those college football aficionados How close is it between him and Trevor Lawrence?

And religiously, They all said it wasn't even close.

Trevor Lawrence is on another level compared to this guy, even though he clearly outplayed Trevor Lawrence in that college football playoff matchup against Clemson.

Ultimately, what it comes down to is this.

On the NFL level, we're looking at the Lamar Jackson's of the world and stuff like that.

You gotta ask yourself a question if you're kind of suspect throwing the football, but you're an electrifying athlete with electrifying wheels, that would be one thing I haven't seen the second coming of Lamar Jackson.

I haven't seen anybody at the quarterback position that could run the football the way that brother could run the football.

Even though you got cats that can move, they've got some wheels on that.

Can you see over opposing, uh, defensive lineman coming your way with offensive linemen and a tall blocking for you and stuff that vision, that kind of stuff comes into play.

I just think right now when we're looking at Justin Fields if you You know how, Max.

You know how Mel Kiper and Todd McShay and others as thorough as they are, you could pick apart of Game two games, three games and say, Hey, we saw this, and that's a red flag for us.

But I think the fact that it's a question mark, we can't definitively say after last night, Max, that you're gonna look at Justin Fields and automatically say he will be the second quarterback taking in this upcoming NFL draft.

And that's where it is right now with everyone has a very short memory.

That should be the second quarterback taken.

By the way, where is his draft stock right now?

I mean, there was a point earlier in the season.

You alluded to it where it was like, Are we sure Trevor Lawrence is better than Justin Fields?

He hasn't been perfect, but the fact is, what a short memory.

You know why cleansing wasn't playing yesterday?

No, I cleansing one playing because Justin Fields threw six touchdown passes against them.

He had again a game that he had to be at his best.

Now you mean to tell me because you can't beat Alabama, which who some people are saying today and they may be right.

This version of the Alabama team may be the greatest college football team ever.

And because you didn't win that game all of a sudden like you may not be the second quarterback ticket.

Does he have an armed check and make all the throws?

Yes, he's a very accurate passer, actually.

People complain, and I understand why about like the internal clock in terms of how to deal with the blitz and all that stuff?

Well, that's a lot of young quarterbacks, and even we talk about that even older quarterbacks.

I understand because Brady is not mobile, but it's like in boxing.

When I got when they say go to the body, this guy doesn't like it in the body.

Of course, pressure on the quarterback is tough for any quarterback, particularly young ones.

I'm not claiming Justin Fields is perfect, and by the way against Clemson and that came into this game, you have the hip pointer problem, the dudes in a lot of pain.

He threw those six touchdowns and produced over 400 yards of offense in a rout against one of the major powers of college football to get to the championship game.

He did that hurt, and he continued to play hurt in this game and made no excuses to me.

I get why Trevor Lawrence goes first to me.

Justin Field should be the next guy off the board.

Over the last three years and his three years at Ohio State, he's completed.

His first year Georgia years ago, he completed 69% of his passes last year, completed 67% this year is that 70% of his passes.

I'm just talking about folks who cover college football who watch it far more extensively than meal.

And look at the three interceptions he threw against Indiana.

The two interceptions he threw against Northwestern and passed for over like 114 yards.

They're going to use that because they say you have a short sample size, you know it.

So they're going to look at those things.

It's not to say that he's not a squeezy scrub or that he's not even a first round pick.

What we're saying is, is that when you look at Justin Fields, do you?
