Just my opinion- but if Pablo is the one advising towards a transfer- they are fully expecting him to play next year (winning a hardship waiver). I hope all this “retaining an attorney/racial BS” is all fake news. An entire school should not be skewered in the media by the actions of one dumas baseball player. Go Dawgs
One final thing on this topic that I’m sure has been discussed but I want to point out.
JF1 is a freshman. He’s had coaches, players, trainers, friends, and fans (ourselves included) telling him how awesome he is. And he is awesome.
As an 18 year old, how do you process that? How do you make complicated decisions about your future? Being good at football doesn’t make you a great decision maker - a confident captain of your own life. You look to others for guidance. Your parents, your coaches, your friends - all of whom in this case truly believe you’re worthy of that starting role, but may not have all the information.
My gut opinion is that he is conflicted. He’s being pulled to transfer but he personally loves this team and his teammates. That’s why Kirby is letting him stay and practice. He’s not a cancer in the locker room. He’s a kid who’s parents are trying to get him more playing time.
Can’t argue with you there. At 18, I thought acid washed jeans shorts looked cool and porter paints hats were stylish. Someone should’ve throat punched me.
Even if he stays, I see very little chance he redshirts. The coaches will want him game ready and running the whole package in case of injury or early entry in 2020. I think he started 2 years in HS. No chance his family is thinking about letting him go on a 5 year plan.
I agree--no 5 year plan. But a redshirt decision can be made at the end of the season if he didn't play. I don't think playing in garbage time helps any more than practice to get a guy ready to take over the team in case of injury.
My good sir, I will take your pizza bet on Fields if the offer is still on the table. I believe Fields will transfer.
Conviction is a powerful thing. Also he's probably wrong.
I disagree , i think if he stays , he redshirts
Ok! On , he stays!
We shall see
His best option is UGA, no matter where he goes UGA sets him up for success better than the other. If he goes to OSU you got martell and Rawlings I think was his name. OU has Austin Kendall who is a rsSoph, he’s not going to just let him have the job. There’s also Spencer Rattler coming in. Now if he decides to go to FSU his career is over. He’ll get plenty of PT but he’s going to get blasted the whole time and really beat up his body. Maybe PSU but not sure that’s a better situation than any of the others. So I say he stays until someone from his family(or himself)says otherwise.

Love ya bro...how many divorces? Has to be more than one right?
Just kidding with ya....I have a laugh every time I see your posts. They always come in 3s or 4s in the same thread
Neither of those imo. I believe Fields is looking for a transfer because he doesn't think he is making strides as a QB. He doesn't have confidence in this staff to help him get better and more prepared for the NFL.
And if you watch his film from week 1 til now, then you will see a QB making the same mistakes over and over. Heck even on many of his completions, the ball came out a second or two late. So he may have a case....either they can't help him develop or he has work ethic problem. A kid that athletically talented should have shown a tremendous amount of growth in that time frame.
And if I am right, and I am pretty sure I am, then he is leaving within a few days after the bowl game.
Still love ya Hunker....but we will have to agree to disagree until one of us is proven right. Careful though as I am almost never wrong
