Homegrown Jake Fromm: Little League to duck holes to the face of a team
From Warner Robins to Athens and just about every stop in the SEC since then, there's been one constant about Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm.
Comments
I don't think for a minute either Eason nor Fields did anything to make Fromm a better QB. To suggest otherwise, insinuates Jake is lazy and needs to be pushed to stay motivated. Something that Eason and Fields had in common is neither had a clue what they were looking at across the line of scrimmage pre-snap. Eason was forever holding the ball too long if his first read wasn't open. Fields would tuck and run for three yards under the same circumstances. If Eason was pushing Fromm, he would have gotten on the field after his injury. The entitlement snaps given to Fields last year were wasted plays. There wasn't one snap given to Fields where the offense would not have been better with Fromm in the game! Jake is self-motivated and has a burning desire to be the best he can be. To say that those two quarterbacks made him better, and this is not the first time I've seen that comment, is ridiculous! Neither was even the slightest threat to become the starter as long as Jake remained healthy!
I absolutely agree Hooch!
Excellent points Hooch! Jake has taken the heat for the LSU loss long enough. The play calling by our coaching staff (not kicking a field goal) had nothing to do with how Jake played and, as a result, changed the momentum in that game that could never be regained. I hope this coaching staff has learned, on the road in a hostile environment, you can’t make foolish calls that take potential points off the board. Go Dawgs!
Yes, Fromm definitely has IT, but he needs to lead us to victory this year ti cement his status as a Legendary Dawg. Otherwise there will always be debate about his career impact.
Jake put us in position to win the NC in 2018, and the SECCG last year.
The refs cost us the NC game (yes, I will never believe that many blown calls don't matter), and Chaney got too conservative running Chubb up the middle.
As a junior, and a possible NFL career on the line, I hope Jake is working with Coley to fix what Chaney messed up the last two years, and speaking up if he sees something that's not right. As a freshman, I don't think Jake wanted to cross anyone. Last year, he had Fields to deal with and those dumb plays when Fields would come in.
This is a whole new year and I hope Kirby turns him loose!
