Best Of

He made some nice passes along with a few drops . Looked good to me .

We're all pulling for you, Stetson. GO DAWGS

A certain person on here made a snarky comment to BigDawg61 about his reading comprehension . Well apparently that snarky person might need to brush up some to. From the article: Quarterback Gunner Stockton made some nice throws, according to onlookers in attendance — the media was not allowed to watch first-hand — but it was the case of another slow start and the first-team offense struggling to get into the end zone.

Also from the article: Stockton is the more adept of the two running and knowing the offense, and also offers the ability to extend plays and make yardage on the ground when needed.

Funny thing NO WHERE in the article does it say Gunner did a poor job. Also NO WHERE in the article does it say that Puglisi did a “better” job.
In fact per the article the QB that made a highlife showing was Montgomery the supposed third string QB. Bottom line is some folks just enjoy controversy. And one person in particular likes to criticize someone else’s reading comprehension when by all appearances HE didn’t comprehend. Until and really IF Gunner stinks it up He Deserves the spot as he waited his time. Bashing on him before the season even starts is both ridiculous and childish.

No sarcasm as unlike CDDawgs you were at least civil in your opinion of Gunner. But I like to ask what facts and information do you base your opinion on ? Gunner has 83 collegiate snaps, Pugs has zero. Gunner has been at UGA much longer than Pugs. Also if you go to the internet and dig up their Individual HS stats you’ll find that Gunner has the better stats.

Pugs has Never thrown one pass against Any college team less alone SEC team. But in your opinion Gunner will be fired by Oct. ?? If that happens it will be the worse recruiting miss on a player in the Kirby Smart era !! AND it’ll probably mean a losing season for the Dawgs as Pugs is just realistically not ready for this level of play. And No One could knock on Pugs for not being ready yet. I certainly wouldn’t.

If Gunner gets seriously injured ( wouldn’t put it past old CD to be praying he does !!) then Pugs will Have to come in. Now I believe Pugs would do a Very Good job within the scope of his experience. But unfortunately that wouldn’t be enough vs SEC caliber play. I don’t understand all the mistrust and angst against Gunner ? His O Line and receivers failed him badly vs ND. Yes he’s thrown some INTs. But every QB that played at UGA did that, including from Matt Stafford to Aaron Murray to Carson Beck and Yes Gunner Stockton !! Unless he really stinks and stinks consistently Gunner deserves the benefit of the doubt. He waited his time and I’ve not seen him lose a game where the loss fell squarely on him. Let’s wait and See what he does in a SEC game. That’s the fair way.

i also don’t think Beck was the only one with that mindset. Likely had multiple OL with a similar mindset.

My thought is that Beck was preoccupied with being an NFL Jr QB. He thought he had already punched his ticket to the 1st rd in '23. So he had the NIL, the clothes, the jewelry, the car, the hot girlfriend …..he just figured he could show up and '23 would naturally repeat. Too many distractions and too much going on, outside the lines, that wasn't helping him be focused on the field. The hunger was not there. You don't eat off the floor when you get out of your Lamborghini wearing your designer clothes and Rolex watch.

I am beginning to think that more than a few UGA players with NFL futures are just looking to make it through their last year w/o getting hurt or hurting their draft position.

I agree GBAL, total BS comment and very unwarranted! The young man came in not under the best of circumstances and did everything he was asked to do plus much on his own. He’s a leader and that leadership will show through soon enough. He’ll be engaged with the team instead of sitting on the bench hanging his head like someone before him. Go Dawgs!
