[BillsFever21]

Pretty stupid question for right now considering he can't even declare until the 2015 draft.

[Goobylal]

At this point, no. Auburn is close to what he'll see in the NFL and he looks like crap. But he's a freshman.

[Ingtar33]

so i guess beating up on the ACC didn't get FSU ready for this one. Is it just me or do the top SEC teams only seem to lose against other SEC teams?

[Buffalo Thriller]

Winston will not be a good NFL QB.

[BillsFever21]

Looks like some spoke too soon. FSU has made it a game and won't be getting blown out by the big bad SEC.

[Skooby]

The guy with the ticket is a happy man.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

One last drive for it all

[BillsFever21]

The guy with the ticket is a happy man.

Not anymore. Wow Florida State happened to beat the big bad SEC team after "beating up" on the ACC all season. Beat them in dramatic fashion too with a great comeback.

Yeah he will.

All the people laughing that FSU couldn't play with the SEC champs. Doh.

That's what happens when you start speaking too soon when the game is only in the 2nd quarter.

It is just you. Really. It is

Lol, so much for hedging your bet.

[Ingtar33]

glad to see someone not from the SEC win the big game. but you're not going to convince me this was Winston's win. A lot of FSU players made huge plays and Winston did just enough to not muck it up. Some lucky breaks helped too. Still it was nice to see FSU pull it out. 8 years of SEC dominance had to end sometime.

[BillsFever21]

Well considering he lead a good comeback and is the first freshman QB to ever win a BCS title says a lot. Not to mention winning the Heisman and Player of the Year along with it. I would call that a pretty good game and season for Famous Jameis.

[SquishDaFish]

I think when said and done he will be a better NFL QB than Johnny Football

Let's not act like Auburn did not get lucky breaks too. Muffing three straight kicks (2 punts and a kickoff) with the ball falling their way is a pretty damn good break.

And while it was not just his win, a freshman driving a team to a winning TD when the drive started with less than 90 seconds left in the game is not meaningless.

[YardRat]

That 4th qtr did more for his development than the rest of the season combined. He's already a better QB than Manziel, and will be a better pro.

[Night Train]

Isn't that Winston I see hoisting that national title ? He probably needs help, since he's holding a Heisman with his other hand.

Nice 1st year.

Way to post idiocy before the game is done.

Why wait a whole season to see people make the wrong calls when you can do it in a few hours ?

[TacklingDummy]

Get rid of EJ and win a Championship hmmm...

[Buffalo Thriller]

His throwing motion is trash.

[trapezeus]

i think jameis just looked average. i didn't think anything was wrong with his throwing motion. i just don't think he really was ready to carry a team on his back against a very good team. perhaps this win (where the kick return really was the thing that helped propel the win) will help him get used to the bigger stage.

i wouldn't want to predict how a freshman will pan out in the NFL since it's a ways off. In games earlier this year, he threw some of the prettiest passes of the season right on target. but he did have time throwing almost all season from what i saw.

[TigerJ]

Awesome game! FSU looked like crap to start the game. I think two things were going on. First, I think they were a bit intimidated by playing on the big stage, against the toughest opponent they had played all year. Second, I think Auburn's coaching staff did an awesome job game planning to exploit areas where FSU players lacked a little experience. Ingtar, I agree that this was far from Jameis Winston's finest game, and that he just pulled it together enough at the end, with lots of other players contributing. BUT, the kid is a redshirt freshman on the biggest stage he's ever seen. I have to give him kudos for shaking off his early game jitters and learning from his struggles early on. I don't think this game detracts at all from his promise as an eventual starter in the NFL.

[wozrob11]

I would maybe draft him after he used Rosetta Stone for English

[Mr. Pink]

Jameis >>>>>>>>>>>> KneeJ

[HAMMER]

Love all the armchair scouts getting it wrong in here as usual. Hint: Wait until the game ends before you make yourselves look dumb.

[Bill Cody]

listening to Winston talk reminded me of this scene:

Hopefully his ST's will help him win games in the NFL as well.

Remember that time you were on national TV? You were so eloquent...

[IlluminatusUIUC]

Why do people criticize a guy for his eloquence? Are we hiring a QB or a lawyer?

Welcome to 1998 Cincy.

[BillsFever21]

What a feeling it was to see one of my football teams finally win another championship. Their last one was 1999 which was the same year the Bills last made the playoffs. It was a long 15 years between the both of them.

Throw that in with being a Mets fan and it makes it even more miserable. The only team of mine that have given me any joy has been the Tar Heels in college basketball. It's great seeing FSU finally on top again but the excitement isn't even at the same level as it would be if Buffalo would even win a single playoff game at this stage let alone a championship.

[DraftBoy]

I would maybe draft him after he used Rosetta Stone for English

Seriously?

He spoke in pretty plain english and it wasn't even that bad. I hate people sometimes.

[Skooby]

People forget that we have a few players that are verbally challenged on our team, like far more challenged than JW will ever be. JW also said the right things & will probably get more vocal clarity / training as time goes on, he just turned 20 YO for cripe's sake.

[tampabay25690]

Yeah he will.

I agree most of these guys don't watch college ball...
I seen every game he played this year..
Anyone that thinks he will not be good should stick to playing Playstation or xbox..
He will be the #1 pick next year hands down.
Kid will only get better

It hasn't ended though!!
They lost the National championship to a very good FSU team...
SEC will be back in it again..
Hey people want a playoff and u will now get it..
4 teams this year and would have been 2 SEC teams anyway..
Then turn round and only 11 days to prepare for the big game!!! Good luck

Tom buddy......
Let's be honest the fake punt was the play of the year..
21-3 going into half is so much different then 21-10 which FSU made it...
Auburn had them by the throat but couldn't squeeze it......,
I said in the beginning of the year FSU was the best team in the country....
Auburn beat themselves when FSU didn't play a good game...
But good teams know how to win..

I hate the Noles and even I can look past that to see how talented this kid is.

[Ingtar33]

His throwing motion is trash.

yeah... unfortunately he looked like a "more mobile" version of Byron Leftwich back there with that big windup. He needs to tighten that throwing motion up a LOT before he gets to the pros.

Absolutely it was huge (and ballsy). I never denied that. But Auburn got breaks too - that was my only point. FSU in the first half was as bad as they have been all year. Auburn could not finish them and let them hang around.

Its the baseball part of his game without question. He's supposed to be FSU's closer this year.

He'll get dinged for that without a doubt.

I agree that was a terrible 1st half for FSU.
Most havent seen them play all year...
Auburn gave them a good run, and to be honest I never in 1 million years thought Auburn would be in this game after last year.
Respect to both teams..

[Dr. Lecter]

Regardless of how it went down....

It was a great night!

My heart was racing like mad on the last FSU drive and was absolutely out of control when they got close to the goaline, especially after the PI call. I made a pretty damn loud noise when Benjamin caught that pass.

And, to top it off, winning a Bowl pick'em contest made it a pretty successful college football season.

Jim Plunkett and Roger Staubach were the only two QBs to win a Super Bowl and a Heisman Trophy though neither won a championship in the NCAA. Yet Cam Newton still has a chance this year to change all that.
