    I think we dodged a bullet with Hasselwood, with fields gone hopefully we've cut out the cancer. Fields had it made here but was far to short sighted to see it. Glad hasselwood isn't coming and Fields is gone. Only regret is him going with us to the Sugar Bowl, they ought to set his stuff out beside the road.

    I agree, at this point I want JF1 gone. However, do we wanna go to New Orleans to play Texas with 0 backup QB? Unfortunately we kinda need him there and suited up just in case JF11 gets injured (knock on wood).

    I think we can beat UT with whoever the 3rd string QB is. Kirby said something at the end of the report about Fields having to find a new school soon because classes start Jan 8th. Made it sound like he was saying that he would like Fields to stay on the team and play in the Sugar, but it's not likely because if he intends to leave he needs to go now. I guess if Fields wants to be like an early enrollee at a different school, he can't wait till after the bowl game.

    Perhaps but shouldn't he really be on the ball school searching and not getting plenty of reps and looking "sharp" at practice today? This whole situation is weird. Check out Mike Griffiths new article if you haven't already.
    In regards to our 3rd string QB against Texas, you're probably right if he's needed, say, late in the 2nd half. However, god forbid, if JF11 goes down 2 mins into the game, we may need JF1 to bail us out. Idk this all s.u.c.k.s.

    The bowl is truly unimportant right now. We have the #2 recruiting class. I doubt any of them will decommit if we lose to UT. Winning the bowl won't attract more commits either.

    Wait, who are you referring to? I was saying we may need JF1 to win sugar bowl in case of JF11 injury. Not sure what you mean by people decommiting.

    I am saying the bowl game is unimportant right now. It doesn't matter to us if we win it or lose it. If we lose it, what's the worst thing that can happen? Will we lose recruits? No. We will still go into 2019 as a top 5 team absolutely LOADED across the board. Maybe a bit thin in experience at QB, but the Mathis kids looks great. I'd prefer to let Fields sit in his stink and leave before the bowl. We will do just fine without him.

    I agree we'll be fine without Fields. I'm with the majority of fans that want him gone. Him and his camp would have to do a whole slew of things before he'd ever get my support to be a Dawg again. But the Sugar Bowl is still important for many reasons on up to just having the extra practice. No I don't think losing it would do anything for current recruits but having a sugar bowl win on your resume does help with future recruits. How could it not? As a fan I'm not looking at this game like, "Eh, who cares if we win or lose". I hope we win and I'm guessing Kirby does as well. Winning equals his job security. My guess is he'd like to bring JF1 along to New Orleans just in case the worst case scenario happens, which is kinda my whole point.

    We got everyone we wanted today except Sanders and on top of it landed a surprise signing day flip in Mathis. Don't let the Fields debacle mess up a good day.

    I will say this... if Fields is really transferring then if I'm Kirby and tell Justin to walk... NOW, no Bowl game.

    Or tell him to plan on about 10 snaps but then sit him all game...

    A great showing does have an impact in an recruiting area that were beginning to pick up significant steam. In back to back classes we’ve landed a top 300 player from TX. There’s some dawgs there we want in the 20 class. I do believe it matters in continuing to impress those targets.

Coach's talk about commitment and loyalty and all that...I don't think it would be fair to the other guys who are absolutely 100% devoted to the team to allow Justin to step foot on the field with them, much less allow him to play.

    Perhaps, but I'd still rather Fields not be part of the team while he's actively looking elsewhere.   Coach's talk about commitment and loyalty and all that...I don't think it would be fair to the other guys who are absolutely 100% devoted to the team to allow Justin to step foot on the field with them, much less allow him to play.
    


    

    


    Absolutely. If he does end up coming along with us to N.O., I REALLY hope he sits the the bench unless the worst happens. Then bye Felicia

                I think we dodged a bullet with Hasselwood, with fields gone hopefully we've cut out the cancer.  Fields had it made here but was far to short sighted to see it.  Glad hasselwood isn't coming and Fields is gone.  Only regret is him going with us to the Sugar Bowl, they ought to set his stuff out beside the road.
    
              
    
              
              
    I agree, at this point I want JF1 gone. However, do we wanna go to New Orleans to play Texas with 0 backup QB? Unfortunately we kinda need him there and suited up just in case JF11 gets injured (knock on wood).
    
            
    
            
            
    I think we can beat UT with whoever the 3rd string QB is.  Kirby said something at the end of the report about Fields having to find a new school soon because classes start Jan 8th.  Made it sound like he was saying that he would like Fields to stay on the team and play in the Sugar, but it's not likely because if he intends to leave he needs to go now.  I guess if Fields wants to be like an early enrollee at a different school, he can't wait till after the bowl game.
    
          
    
          
          
    Perhaps but shouldn't he really be on the ball school searching and not getting plenty of reps and looking "sharp" at practice today? This whole situation is weird. Check out Mike Griffiths new article if you haven't already. 
    
          In regards to our 3rd string QB against Texas, you're probably right if he's needed, say, late in the 2nd half. However, god forbid, if JF11 goes down 2 mins into the game, we may need JF1 to bail us out. Idk this all s.u.c.k.s.
    
        
    
        
        
    The bowl is truly unimportant right now.  We have the #2 recruiting class.  I doubt any of them will decommit if we lose to UT.  Winning the bowl won't attract more commits either.
    
      
    
      
      
    Wait, who are you referring to? I was saying we may need JF1 to win sugar bowl in case of JF11 injury. Not sure what you mean by people decommiting.
    
    
    
    
    
    I am saying the bowl game is unimportant right now.  It doesn't matter to us if we win it or lose it.  If we lose it, what's the worst thing that can happen?  Will we lose recruits?  No.  We will still go into 2019 as a top 5 team absolutely LOADED across the board.  Maybe a bit thin in experience at QB, but the Mathis kids looks great.  I'd prefer to let Fields sit in his stink and leave before the bowl.  We will do just fine without him.

    This is very accurate concerning recruiting.  And don't forget, I'm surrounded by UT grads here in Dallas and don't want to deal with the Hook Em crap I'll get for months if the Dawgs lose. And I played Texas 3 times in college and I don't like em.

    I don't want him around spreading his cancerous attitude. Get rid of him NOW!  All he's going to do is cause morale problems.  Get him out of the locker room ASAP.

    And I've said this before - a lot of Dawg fans are going to be frustrated when Justin Fields has a lot of success - because he will. And he may turn out to be better than Fromm. But Fromm was the best choice when they were both on the same campus.
    
      
      
    If Fields stayed, I think it's highly likely that he wins the job in spring practice.** But not without a fight - Fromm has that "IT" factor.  We'll just never know.**
    
      
      
    That's just my opinion.
    
    
    
    
    
    What in the world leads you to believe Fields is anywhere near Fromm?  Take away all the HS hype, focus only on on-field performance.  Fields right now (after 13 games) isn't even close to where Fromm was last year against ND.  The gap is wide.  Fields has some advantages, but Fromm is a total package rarely seen.
    
  
    
  
  
    Tap the brakes. I definitely said Fromm was the guy. Have been all year. But Fields is talented. Just said if Fields stuck around in the spring he would have a chance to beat out Fromm. But we'll never know.
    
  
  
    I get that Fromm is a special. I've been involved in the game for a very long time  - I do understand a few things.
    

    


    Read what you actually said, please, sir.
    


    I hope Fields sticks around and that much of what we've heard turns out to be malarky. Having said that, Fields clearly has potential, but that's all he's shown us. I see very little to indicate Fields is anywhere near where a guy needs to be to succeed as a starting QB in a big time program.
    


    He's not highly likely to beat out Fromm in the spring. I doubt he has a bat's chance. I'm not convinced he will be a good quarterback at any program until he learns to read the defenses and stand in the pocket. He's a deer in the headlights. Yes, he has potential, but that counts for nothing on the field of play.
    


    You say you know the game, and perhaps you do. I can't claim to omniscience about football, but I'm open to you telling all of us what you see that causes you to believe Fields has a chance to or is highly likely to displace Fromm should he continue the ongoing competition, a competition it appears he's withdrawing from (and why would he do that with such good prospects?).
    


    From my point of view Fields hasn't grown much over the course of the season. I'm sure he's worked hard and been coached up and had significant reps in practice and all that. Why hasn't he developed?
    


    My guess...Well, we'll save that for down the road.
    


    Go, Dawgs!
