Georgia QB Jake Fromm downplays dropped passes, 'stuff happens in football'
Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm limped out of the locker room but offered no excuses for the Bulldogs' 37-10 loss to LSU in the SEC Championship Game
Comments
Coach Smart cannot continue to use losing four receivers to the NFL as an excuse. Not when you are recruiting receivers every year. With that being said.... Georgia is not doing a good job evaluating receivers or doing a bad job in developing them. Dropped passes was a problem but Fromm missing open receivers was just as bad. No more how tuff the SEC is as a conference. How about how tuff it is to play Georgia.
This loss hurt badly ! We looked bad and unprepared !
"misguided attacks"??? What a homer. This kind of pollyanna coverage is why things won't change. Smart has a lot of things going for him, mainly defensive coaching and recruiting. But he's got a lot of shortcomings as well - offensive coaching, game day management. What will be very bad if it becomes clear he won't communicate honestly about the issues everybody sees.
Dropped passes?? Most of the throws were not in the right spot. If a receiver has to slow down or move to the middle and reach below his waist then it's a bad throw. Pickens saved Fromm on two more bad throws by making spectacular catches on bad throws that no one in the building could have caught. Fromm please leave.
The theme for the off season is evolve. Because if you look LSU their quarterback was throwing daggers on first through fourth down they're trying to score every time they get the ball. We're playing old man football trying to wear teams down and it didn't matter much when a team can go out and score in three four five plays. Offense look like a hot crap sandwich the whole year and this game it cost us. They pay you $7 million a year Kirby go fix it. Meanwhile our backup quarterback just won the big ten. I like Jake but he isn't as good as Kirby makes him out to be
Drops happen every game.
LSU had multiple drops by WRS at least Two drops cost them TDS. Don't blame the drops for the loss
No Offensive coordinator with no real system in place
UGA made it to the game with smoke and mirrors ….. Best team we won against was Auburn and they had a true freshman starting at QB who like Fromm is a game manager. Even the Gators with an average QB took Fromms best game of his time at UGA to squeak by with a win
I said all week that the (Any given Saturday) rule was in play. LSU was the better team and we had a punchers chance …… Much the same way the Gamecocks whooped us , we were the better team yet they won ….That was our hope vs LSU
Go hire an offensive coordinator. Keep the defensive guy who had a great first season and will get even better with time
LSU just showed a team with a CMR/Bobo offense and a CKS/Lanning defense …… We have had one or the other. We need both
Were you watching the same game?
Old man football might have looked more competitive and wouldn't of seen a game managing Qb throw over 40 passes …...Old man football don't consist of constant sweeps , rb flares (the only passes Fromm was able to constantly connect on) and missed bombs
Old man football would have centered around 40-50 touches by Zeus/Herrian at rb running between the tackles and a few sweeps with cook to the outside and about 15 passes by your game manager at QB
Old Man football as the idiot at Mizzu once claimed UGA ran is a system and it works what you saw last night is a lack of a system
Meanwhile, all the great QB’s from Georgia are playing somewhere else and winning championships
The truth is-you have to a complete team to win at a Championship level, this year our offense was deficient through the air. Most of our receivers are a complete bust. Stone hands or lack of heart are not qualities you want to find in three quarters of your receiving corp.
Thank you to all the players for a memorable year!
I hate to be rude, but I will rejoice when Matt Landers and Tyler Simmons are gone. Dropped passes. Missed blocks - did the rest of you see Landers attempt to block the only guy who could stop a sideline TD, and ended up slapping the defender on the butt? If anybody should have gone to Georgia State or Troy, it is these 2 guys.
