If hes not 100 percent UGA let him go. Otherwise you will see a divided locker room. Also this opens a spot for a top level qb flip.
When it don't add up, adding a .99 to it don't matter. (Grammar is sic, folks).
FIFY There is nothing that he did that a reasonable observer would conclude that. Talented, yes. Translating that into a top level SEC quality QB is another thing.
This is not a chicken little situation. Most people have had reasoned takes on the issue yesterday and today. If anyone said something like "this is the end" that wasn't an obvious troll then I would break him out
Man Im fed up with these entitled prima donna QBs tucking tail and running when things aren't going their way. I guess when he (Fields) committed to Georgia he must have thought Grayson Lambert was the starter and he'd have the job by midseason. Well Grayson Lambert and Joe Cox Fromm is not IF that was the reason hes allegedly transferring.
The irony is that the best thing could be to take the backup role, get stronger, older and learn the system. He is going to take a beating if he is a first year starter at a school without a good line. Staying at UGA is the safest way to the NFL, but I also understand him wanting to play before '20/21. He is taking a risk if he goes somewhere and doesn't do well, or he gets beat out. That cooks his future.
I say the media has a lot to do with all this. They pumped up the controversy all year long. If you don't believe that gets in kids and their parents heads then your crazy
The real problem, imho, is that we have/had two great QBs. Even in his limited role, Fields' throwing stats were very impressive for a TF, and he had some passes dropped, like the TD strike to DROB. I think Fromm is so good he could win the Heisman, and I think Fields could win a Heisman, too. It is just hard to keep them both happy because Fields wants to play. I still think Fields is going to be better than Newton by the time he graduates. Let's hope it isn't at our expense.
WHY THE REPORTS A DAY AND A HALF BEFORE THE ESP??
felds, pls
The play that stands out the most to me which showed Fields just wasn’t quite ready for the big time just yet was the Auburn game. We were on the 2 yard line and he took a 16 yard sack. That’s near the end of the season. He’s been through Spring and Summer, plus almost an entire season of practice with some game experience. You shouldn’t look like a deer in headlights at that point.
We heard very early on before last season started that Fromm was really pushing Eason. Insiders were saying Fromm was a better decision maker than Eason. That he could read defenses better than Eason. We’ve never heard those same rumblings this year. Can Fields run the ball better than Fromm? Of course. Does Fields have a stronger arm than Fromm? Absolutely. But those two things alone doesn’t make a person a great QB.
I have no doubt that Fields will be really good once he’s got the starting job wherever he is. I’d prefer it to be in Athens with him having EARNED the job. But if he isn’t happy and is going to be a cancer in the locker room, I’d prefer we cut ties now. Get him off the practice field and definitely don’t let him go to the Sugar Bowl. No need to reward a kid who doesn’t even want to be in the team.
I am not worried about this situation. Will we lose a recruit or additional player? Maybe. That doesn't mean we won't replace those guys because we will. Personally, I want people who want to be at Georgia. And I believe Georgia is a top program who can get the players it needs. So there is nothing to fear but fear itself--to borrow from history.
Yep, if he wasn't out of scholly's he wouldn't have needed JRP to blueshirt.
I got tired of the constant speculation about transfers. Frankly, if this transfer comes to pass, it will be a relief to me. If it doesn't happen and all this furor was brought on by JF's family--I hope Kirby lays the controversy to rest once and for all. I would almost rather JF go ahead and transfer regardless. If he is unhappy, he needs to do it for himself and his teammates.
That's the part I don't get. This must have been somewhat unexpected--at least the media announcement of it.
Maybe a crowd of jockeys ?
