Hey Kirby
How about saying "if we had a better QB" we could've been more explosive. Yet you throw the receivers under the bus.
I hope the recruits hear this crap and decide to go else where.
This man is a piece of work.
If you know you need better WR's, why not make changes (OC and play calling) that will attract those type of Receivers?
LSU ran up 481 yards of offense!!!!! Granted our offense did not do the defense any favors, but we were not close to stopping them. Credit to LSU. I just thought we were better than that. Now the question turns to if we are going to be measurably better next year. I have no idea.
Somebody needs to ask Kirby if Jake's shoulder is 100%.
Kirby trying to cover his ass. Knowing people are second guessing him about Fromm over Fields. Jake has a lot of responsibility for the offensive ineptitude, he missed a lot of open receivers, tonight as well as over the course of the season. The receivers haven't done their job, their routes haven't always been in sync with Fromm and a lot of drops. The OL hasn't been nearly as dominating as they had been billed. A disappointing year by my standards. Never was a Richt guy and was glad to see him go, Kirby has some tough terrain to traverse now. This team was supposedly built to compete for championships, we're not there yet, regressing this year IMO. I believe we need a new direction offensively or our recruiting will suffer.
I agree with you 100%. I really believe Kirby days are numbered at Georgia because he's too arrogant and players/recruits are beginning to shy away from him. You can't tell him anything and he hardly ever takes responsibility.
Fromm is not injured. Quit asking that. Fromm spends free time hunting and fishing in stead of improving himself. Herbstreit called him out last year about being unathletic, Fromm stayed he was going to work on being quicker, faster, and more elusive in the pocket... Did anyone see that? No, because he hasn't improved, he has regressed. I understand Kirby defending Fromm's draft status, but Kirby better be telling Fromm he needs to leave because the starting job is not his next year
Okay Coach, how do you explain Fromm missing these "sub par" receivers when they have gotten open ?
Below 50% completions the last 3 games in a row!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
First of all, if Fromm returns next year (which is likely) he will be the starter. If for no other reason than his experience. That's just a fact so we may as well prepare for that. But it is distressing (and I think off-putting to recruits and current players) that he protects Jake's play at all cost. He said "if we had really good wideouts," which is saying, "since we do not have really good wideouts" we can't make explosive plays. Granted, had our receivers been able to get more separation and/or catch some passes that were right in their hands, we would have had more explosive plays. But there were several instances, today and throughout the year, when the receivers were open and Jake just flat missed them. There's blame for both, but if Kirby keeps throwing his receivers under the bus like this, he's going to find out he doesn't have any -- unless he wants to sell that narrative to would-be recruits; "Hey, come to UGA and start right away because the guys we have now playing wide receiver are awful." I think the next DawgNation story is for Jeff Sentell to check with our current commits to see if anyone is considering backing off his pledge after that beat down by LSU. We especially need receivers and quarterbacks, but after what happened with Justin Fields, I honestly think it's going to be a couple of recruiting cycles before we convince a Top 10 QB to come our way.
If LSU had lost their top four receivers to the draft last year and then lost their top four receivers of this year in the first half of the SECCG, would they have dominated? Heck, no! LSU had two very good freshmen WRs last year in Chase and Marshall. This year they have two excellent WRs as sophomores in Chase and Marshall and a third in Jefferson. I pray Blaylock's injury is not an ACL! He is capable of being another Chase being almost a clone physically. Pickens is almost a carbon copy of Marshall. All they need is experience! What was a huge weakness will be a strength next year and will make all the difference in the world in Fromm's accuracy!
Please explain how recruiting is being affected! According to the 247 composite UGA has the highest average for quality of recruits in the nation. Of UGA's 15 recruits, 14 are four star are better. The only three star is a kicker which is the equivalent of a five star. UGA would easily be a top four recruiting class at this point if we were loading up on five, six...nine three stars like those that are ranked ahead of us. Some of the most comical comments are from the naysayers wanting to justify their naysaying!
