    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.

    Grayson Lambert was not at UGA when JFi arrived?

    If this doesn't say it ALL!! Good riddance! Only second game as a Dawg, and a substantial win for the program at the time!! We are not about one player, one coach, or one fan! We are DawgNATION!

    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.

    This all the way. I wasn’t a Haselwood fan back when he was whining about us not throwing enough for him.

    He seems like a problem and is attached to Fields. Now the Fields family pulls this before ESD...it seems like they are two peas in a pod and could care less about UGA or a degree. Mark my words...save this for 4yrs from now.

    Neither Justin Fields nor Jadon Haselwood will get drafted.

    bold statement there

    Go big or go home.

    I definitely wouldn't go that far they are both very talented. However, I do remember a certain amount of drama behind the recruitment of a kid named Da'Rick Rogers. Attitude issues among other things, he "flipped" to TN because they supposedly offered his friend. Didn't turn out to well for Mr. Rogers (no pun intended)

    I’ve said all year that UGA is better for having both Fromm and Fields, and if it doesn’t have both it won’t be as good next season as it could’ve been.

    Unless Fromm get's injured, I'm completely disagreeing with this. Fields was a massive distraction that the coaches were wasting plays on trying to coddle his ego. We are going to be better off for this. I'm just disappointed that Fields turned out to be that kind of player.

    The more and more I think about this it just doesn’t make sense. Georgia has the best roster in the country arguably. Why would you leave that? If OSU is the destination Ryan Day is unproven as a head coach for a full season and as a leading recruiter. If it’s FSU well I don’t need to tell you their problems. OU there’s Spencer Rattler and I don’t really see JF1 beating him out either. FU still doesn’t have the roster and maybe just maybe they’ll have it by your senior year. I get wanting to play but I don’t think the Fields family is looking at the big picture.

    No one is bigger than the program. I'm not worried about UGA football in the slightest. I'm disappointed in Fields and I believe this will destroy his future.

    I kind of mirror what some of you guys are saying. I’m utterly confused by this whole thing.

    For those of you saying Fields most likely didn’t want this exposed so early that is false. I went to high school with fields and a friend of mine who’s dad is close with Field’s father heard this story was being reported days before it was out meaning that they definatly wanted it heard. Not sure why yet maybe for recruiting reasons. If so pretty ****

    great first post!

    Thank you for pointing that out. I'm officially transferring his UV to your comment. Congratulations.

    There’s also the chance that Haskins doesn’t go pro (lots of speculation about this)

    And also, what if fields doesn’t beat out Tate martell?

    OSU doesn’t make sense to me.

    I'm with you 100%. That's why I said this is pretty much a loss for all involved.

    I hate to see him go, was hoping he would redshirt next year. But it was an odd decision from the start. Fields either overestimated his talent or underestimated Jakes, or maybe a bit of both.

    I do think Kirby botched this and will learn from it. Fields should have redshirted this year when he couldn't beat Fromm out. It was obvious to everyone that Kirby played Fields just enough to burn his redshirt. I believe that will be the Fields case to play immediately and not sit out.

    With all of that being said, I think this is for the best for Fields and for Georgia. The SECC did it for me, I knew this situation was not workable anymore

    How is it obvious that Kirby played him just enough to burn his redshirt? A player can play in 4 games and keep his redshirt. Fields played in 12 out of 13 games. This was not a kid who was played in 5 games and therefore, played just enough to burn his redshirt. His redshirt was burned by game 5 of the season.

    I think it would be wise for Haskins to stay, if he does and has another season like this one he’s a top 5 pick easily. Yeah Tate knows the playbook, similar skill set just not the physical gifts of Fields. The only place he could go to see sure fire playing time is FSU. He’s going to play but he’s going to hate it lol If it’s about PT UGA is his best bet that’s why I hope there isn’t more nefarious things at work behind the scenes. After the video came out from the SECOND game of the season I think he just has a sense of entitlement and wants things handed to him. He’ll make plays wherever he goes but it won’t be what he could’ve had at UGA.

    @DawgNationDaily , @JeffSentell This only my opinion, but the timing of this appears to be just about as bad as it can possibly be for the recruiting wars Georgia is currently involved in. This story “came out” with less than 48 hours before a very hotly contested Early Signing Period is set to begin. The Georgia Bulldog Football program is currently “wading into the deepest of waters” (as BA has said before) for the very BEST recruits. Perhaps the timing of this news story was NOT an accident??? Makes me wonder what current Bulldog defensive player Malik Herring’s Tweet meant exactly???
