In the 2nd half Kirby had multiple series that he put Fields in for one play when Fromm was having the (or one of) the best games of his career. Fields never had success and then Fromm was beginning it 2nd & 10 or longer. Had Kirby stayed with Fromm entire time. We may (I would like to believe yes) have had more success sustaining drives in the 2nd half.
When you punish someone for being (racially or sexually or whatever) hostile, the severity of the punishment should be considered a severity of the offense. Like if a woman complains of sexual harassment, but no action is taken. What you’re saying is this was not the least bit of a serious offense. But if you fire that person you are saying this was a serious offense, You are opening yourself up to being sued either way. If the person who was fired can make a case that he did nothing wrong, he can sue. And I have seen that happen. The case was settled out of court. They just paid the guy and what he told us was he couldn’t tell us how much because that was part of the deal. It wasn’t enough to retire off of because he’s still working a day job to this day is all I know. He still lives in the same house too.
So when UGA kicked Adam Sasser off the baseball team, they were saying he committed a very serious offense, And really I would say it’s even more extreme than firing someone from their job because the university had more options for punishment that were meaningful, like a multi-game suspension. What is an employee gonna do if you suspend him for a week? Think he got a vacation? Maybe an unpaid vacation. The university just had more options in readily available punishments that are meaningful.
So when UGA kicked Adam Sasser off the baseball team, they were saying this was a very serious racially hostile event.
Now back to the workplace analogy. Say the guy the company fired for sexual harassment was part of a close knit group of executives, kind of like how sports teams are often close knit. You don’t think it would be odd for the person who was sexually harassed to go over and work for those executives?
And how the NCAA is going to handle it, I have no idea. But it’s certainly a better argument than “somebody yelled at me, I couldn’t hear it, but later I found out”.
And I really don’t know if it’s worth it trying to explain it to you guys the thought process. Guys like BankTimer are just blowing off steam. They’re worked up over this, And I really thought the first time I posted it was enough for you guys to fill in the blanks. But you’re post was reasonable, so there’s the thought process if you’re interested.
One thousand upvotes. Add in the occasional disgusting/**** comment, and you see @levander through the same eyes as me. He once said he wished secret videos of female UGA athletes showering were available on the internet. I was nauseated at this considering my significant other is a female athlete at UGA. I need to figure out how to block his loser ass.
Married and divorced with 1 daughter. I stand by mom thoughts , Fields staying
My thoughts
Do you have insider knowledge on this?
No , its just my gut feeling , i honestly believe he is staying. I wish i had inside knowledge on it
Hunker- while I do appreciate your steadfastness, explain why you feel so strongly. It’s either 1) you think Fields is better than Fromm and will win the starting position 2) you anticipate a Fromm injury (which is yet to keep him out of the lineup in the last two years) or 3) you are looking at him to lead in 2020 or 2021. If he stays- he most likely backs up Fromm and gets random (and untimely) snaps, which continues his own frustration. Not only does this stunt his growth- if messes with Fromm’s reps, and even potentially divides the team, coaching staff and Dawg fans for another year. I’m all about what’s best for my Dawgs- but have trouble seeing the benefits after witnessing what went down this past year.
I already explained this , no of course i DONT think he is better than Fromm. I think imo Fields stays and redshirts in 2019 behind Fromm , then Fromm leaves for the draft and Fields has 3 full years and takes over in 2020 when Fromm is gone. Just my gut feeling and my opinion. Fromm is definately our starter next year and could be in 2020 if he doesnt enter draft
I for one will agree with you. I think bringing in Mathis and Bennett is our security blanket which allows Fields to redshirt and be our guy in 2020 when Fromm goes pro. Transferring without a waiver (which I don’t think he’ll get) makes transferring pointless. Why sit a year and then compete somewhere else when he can do that where he is, plus play in 4 games next year on a chamionship caliber team.
Would agree with you both IF Fields were to redshirt next year. That’s a big “if”.
Want your opinion on this - was/is JF1 considering transferring because he thinks he is better than Fromm and should be playing now, or because game recognizes game, and he realizes he will never be QB1 as long as JF11 is here?
Last part...never beat out Fromm
Exactly my point ive been saying for weeks. Agree totally!!
Makes no sense to transfer
I think he’s considering it bc people are telling him he’s better than JF11, but deep down I believe he recognizes JF11 is a baller and it’s a closer call than his supporters will admit. So short version is I think his family/supporters want him to transfer more than he himself does. This is why I agree with @HunkerDown1MoreTime that he finds a way to stay that works out for all.
