Why is it that some people say Georgia should look for a quarterback out of the transfer portal? I say they should play the kids they have and recruited. Develop them into being great quarterbacks or risk the chance of them entering the transfer portal because they are not afforded the opportunity to play. You know with today's kids....they are not to loyal nor show commitment with their decisions. You cannot please everyone as coaches, but you can be fair with the kids you recruit instead of bring in outside help from the portal. In most cases, the kids in the portal hardly pan out.
I can see both sides. The defense next year should be of championship quality with so many seniors coming back. You want to maximize your QB room to hopefully take advantage of that next year. On the other hand you lose some of that game time development of these young QBs working with these young receivers which could pay dividends a year or two down the road. Bird in hand kind of thing. It’s a tough call.
I think he probably has the best chance to win the job as anyone of the three.....Bennett just doesn't have the skills and, I like Mathis, but it looks like a strong wind would knock him down if he decided to run....
The QB position is one of the hardest to predict...Look at Burrow......He was an average QB until this year when he went crazy...it takes time to develop and many aren't given that time. I know Beck is a pro style QB however I want him to be like Lawrence....I was impressed by how Lawrence is not afraid to run with the ball when he had to....Fromm never had this ability
I like Beck a lot, but we are looking at Malik Hornsby outta TX. Dual threat guy. Posses a great arm, ability to run the heck outta the read option. Look at his tape throwing deep dimes and throwing dimes on the run. I would love to have him. He might not start as a freshman. He is listed 6 2 175. Might need a year to put on some muscle to handle the SEC rigors.
He has the arm to stretch the field and force the safeties to stay out of the box
That alone will be an improvement where Fromm seldom to never was willing to push the ball deep
They should look if the right guy is sitting in the portal just waiting to be the perfect guy for our system aka the young man at Wake Forrest
Other than that I agree with you no sense in taking a guy just to take him. Be one and done and right back in the same spot headed into the next season
I'm not sure a grad transfer is necessary. Hell, we lived without this free agency for over a century and did fine. A lot of Freshmen flourish under fire, these kids aren't fresh out of the **** either, they've been playing great football most of their life. Both Beck and Mathis will have practiced with their offence against a fairly experienced and highly talented defense before the first snap next Fall. I put our defense up against what any of those teams are bringing next year.
However, I think he might actually be a better quarterback than Fromm IS or was.
Well fellas, we got the grad transfer...Jamie Newman out of Wake Forest. Really promising candidate as starter. Good college experience. Dual threat.....passing and running.
TO CARSON BECK...please do not transfer! You have the talent, though raw, that Fromm has and even Newman. Newman is here only 1 year. You can win this thing,...stick with us!!!! GO DAWGS!!!
