Best Of

Best of life’s blessings I pray for Christian on and off the field of play. Pray the very same for All our departing Dawgs !!

Not to argue, you know how I wear my emotions. Is it true what you stated? About Stockton NOT being allowed to change plays at the l.o.s.? If so, then that tells me he's not elite. Because the coaching staff doesn't trust him to make the right change. Which to me, I blame bobo. He is supposed to be the qb coach, but can't coach him up any better? Even Fromm was allowed to do that.

That would explain a lot to me about why they are trying to run the ball with 8 men in the box. That is an offensive failure. Mainly from the coaches.

People wonder about Curtis. I personally don't think it's about money. It's about the fact that even if he didn't start his first year, what would he have learned, or experience would he have received? With all due respect to Stockton, I blame mainly coaches( OC and HC), Stockton has been there 4 years, I think, and not any better? He never got game reps (worth a dang, 3 straight handoffs mean nothing) for his first 2 years, last year, 15 passes all year until he was forced to play. That is why curtis didn't come to uga.

Like I said, nothing personal or was i trying to be disrespectful to you sir. Just my humble opinion. Have a great everything.

The QB position has received the majority of praise when a team wins and the majority of blame when a team loses. It has been that way since the advent of the modern passing game of football. Why? Because the QB handles the ball on every play. He is the linchpin and his play is integral to the success of the play on every play.

Probably not completely "fair" but comes with the territory. Say what you want about GS's limitations, team's limitations, coaching limitations….. it was all true. Based on all those limitations this UGA reached its ceiling.

Those that watched it all play out, all season, saw the handwriting on the wall.

As for the QB position, we saw 1 team's QB rise to the occasion and make the plays that won the game. So that QB got praised for making plays. One team's QB did not rise to the occasion and make the game winning plays. Were the plays there to be made? They were there for one of the 2 , pretty evenly matched team's, QB to make. Just the way it is. This UGA team was not good enough, top to bottom, to make the plays it needed to make to win this game.

The question is, with the CKS/UGA "formula", is this achievement level what we can expect from UGA every year going forward?

NIL with free agency (TP) has leveled the playing field in CFB. There is no more Nick Saban's Alabama to guarantee a championship (over 4 years) to every recruiting class and stack high 4* and 5* recruits 3 deep at every position. This is the new norm for CFB.

Within 4 days of the CFBNC game the decision will need to be made on expansion of the CFB PO for the '26 season. Discussions are underway to determine when (not if) the CFB PO field will be expanded ($$$) to 16 teams. Whether it be in '26 or '27.

In addition discussions are underway when (not if) to merge the BIG10 and SEC and add whatever teams that are left that make sense to an NFL Jr model league with salary cap and NFL style playoff format. Not in '26 but probably before '30.
