Re: Kirby Smart shares âwhatâs nextâ for Gunner Stockton, areas he expects improvement
I wasn’t trying to denigrate Beck in order to promote Gunner at all. But Kasey in that particular game Beck struggled badly I’m sure you saw that to. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades the INT didn’t go for a pick 6. I’m not saying the players liked Gunner better than Beck. I don’t know why. But their energy level took a significant rise when he came on the field. If you remember in My comment I said I didn’t like QB controversies. I stand by that. But on That particular night I don’t think Beck could bring us back. It happens to the very best athletes even in the pros. It’s just humanity. Let’s just hope that Gunner doesn’t have many if any of those. But like Beck or any QB he could. As a Dawgs fan I just hope he doesn’t. I never pulled against Beck so that Gunner could come in. Though that tidbit of time Might help him a smidgen.

Ryan Puglisi Senior Year. He has a Very impressive record as well. I think we’re in Excellent shape having him as a Dawg. Here’s the thing though IF he follows through and signs Jared Curtis has better credentials than Both Gunner and Pugs !! The future could get really interesting at UGA !!
As a senior, Puglisi threw for 1,858 yards and 15 touchdowns, while rushing for more than 350 yards and four touchdowns.
In addition, he competed in the finals of the 2023 Elite 11 quarterback competition.
Following his senior season, Puglisi was named the Gatorade Connecticut Football Player of the Year.

Gunner Senior Year At Rabun County HS. You just don’t get these numbers being a slouch at QB I don’t care if it’s HS !! Cause the people your playing With and you play Against are all HS level. Rabun County is a AA school but look at Brock Vandergriff he came from a school equal to class A.
As a senior in 2021, he led them to the state playoff quarterfinals again with a 12–2 record while throwing for 4,134 yards, 55 touchdowns and only one interception, being named All-State for the fourth time in his career and being named the Gatorade Georgia Player of the Year.
He set the state records in passing touchdowns, total passing and rushing touchdowns and combined passing and rushing yards.

We certainly don't need to see him running up the middle when he IS in the game. With DPhillips able to fill the same role as CJones I'm not sure I see much of a role for him this season.
Also, I think GS has a bigger arm than JFromm. Fromm was a cerebral QB. Still to be shown if GS has the offense and reads down as well as Fromm did.

I agree Puglisi has the traits you’d look for to be a future NFL QB. And he might have a little better arm strength. A little. But Gunner also has plenty of arm strength. Sometimes he throws a little To hard. He can most definitely make the deep throws down field if given a chance. He made a very nice deep toss to Arian Smith last year where he did put just the right touch on it.
Just my opinion but I think Pugs has a slightly better arm where Gunner has slightly better legs. But your right as rain that Pugs has better height to see over the line of scrimmage better than Gunner.
I wouldn’t rule Gunner out of being NFL material in a lower round much like Stetson Bennett. Maybe that’s what KS was talking about as far as confidence. But I tell ya if I had Gunners legs and saw some huge D Lineman bearing down on me I’d be awful tempted to tuck the ball and run to !! I guess KS wants him to hang in there a couple more seconds to let the play develop. But I’d rather him run and get Some yards than be sacked !! But that’s why I’m not a HC !! 😀

agreed. Kid is a gamer but with that RB room we don’t need to see him much. I’m hoping Kirby was giving him some love early against a paycheck opponent.

Re: Ryan Puglisi takes major step in his development as Georgia QB with first game action
”…we’re going to continue to develop him.” I hope we’re developing him to be a QB at UGA and not somewhere else. I thought he looked very good Saturday. That TD pass was a rope and on the money.
