OT: Fiesta Bowl game thread

[Mainstreet]

What an exciting game. If Ole Miss had a few more seconds they might have won.

 

[JosiahLee]

Pretty good drive by Chambliss considering he only had 18 seconds on that last drive. I wonder if someone trades up near the end of round 1 to get him.

If he measures at 6’1 I can see it. I mean Ty Simpson is 6’2…not exactly a big difference.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Beck is teemu Carson Palmer

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Field looks good. Only really noticed one major slip.

A friend of mine was at the game and raved about the in-stadium Wi-Fi.

 

[Proteus]

Chambliss has a guardian of angel watching him tonight because Miami has dropped legitimately 6 picks tonight. Good Lord.

So Miami has future Cardinals defenders then.

 

[Russ Smith]

Carson Beck is really bad.

He had like 5 throws in a row that were high and 2 were nearly picked. But at the end he made a great play to run it in

 

[Russ Smith]

A dude who just turned 18 5 months ago scores a touchdown to take the lead. That's what college football is all about. Not a 25 year old who skirts the eligibility system to play his 7th season of college football.

Basketball but the NCAA just cleared 25 year old Kyree Walker to be eligible to play college ball, he'll be a freshman

 

[Russ Smith]

Beck put himself into round 3 convo. Chambliss late round 1

Really? He easily had 4 picks dropped. not saying NFL DB's don't drop picks too but they won't typically drop 4, 2 of the pick sixes.

He's draftable to me but I just don't see him in the first 2 rounds

 

[GatorAZ]

Carson Beck to me is the perfect backup and I mean that as a compliment.

 

[TheCardFan]

What Lane Kiffin did to his team and the fans is disgusting

Happy he is where he wants to be but leaving like that during the playoffs shouldn't be allowed.

From what I understand he wanted to coach the playoffs but the University told him no. Also read some Ole Miss coaches left before this game to join Kiffin at LSU which I think is bad. Finish out the season.

 

[Cardsfanstl]

That's PI on the game ending play BTW.

But on who. Both the WR and defender were grabbing each others jerseys so I can see why they did not call it.

 

[football karma]

Trinidad Chambliss sure looks like a NFL QB to me

 

[Harry]

Had major surgery and has a reputation for not playing well in big games but good tonight

They are good at asking him to do what he does well.

 

[Harry]

Bain has been non existent.

I warned Bain could be controlled. He could still have a big final.

 

[Harry]

I've really only seen him bull rush. Doesn't seem to have a lot of pass rush moves.

He has some, but needs more.

 

[Harry]

Beck put himself into round 3 convo. Chambliss late round 1

No way Chambliss goes that early.

Guys coming out of the service also get cleared often

That makes sense. Kyree Walker turned pro out of HS, didn't make the NBA, played a bit in G league and then played in a series of startup pro leagues. He's going to college now for NIL, 25 and will be a freshman.

 

[football karma]

other Ole Miss players that look like NFL players to me:

Stribling WR. Contested catches, long and athletic. Physical

Layne, RB. reminded me a bit of Deuce McCalister -- upright long strider but big and runs tough

 

[TRW]

I wouldn't want Carson Beck at all. Not sure I'd risk taking a QB that already has had surgery on his throwing elbow. Might go on to have a long and solid career but, if I'm the Cardinals, I don't take that risk.

 

[Ronin]

How did Bain Jr look?

 

[Russ Smith]

From what I understand he wanted to coach the playoffs but the University told him no. Also read some Ole Miss coaches left before this game to join Kiffin at LSU which I think is bad. Finish out the season.

During the game they said their kicker has committed to coming back to school and openly told the announcers that LSU really wants him. So he's not just bailing on the team, he's recruiting their players before the portal is open. If the NCAA had any cajones at all they'd penalize LSU

He had Tommy John surgery which is serious but in baseball usually not career ending

I know. But, I added the caveat if I'm the Cardinals. They draft him he becomes Gary Hogeboom when he played here with his bum elbow.
