@WayxATLdawg89, yes I do watch the NFL and just because it has worked for a few players doesn't make it a viable option for others. I am almost certain it was a failed experiment for most-Matt Jones, Pat White, Reggie Ball, and every QB Paul Johnson had at Tech. The only one I can think of who had a career beyond 3 years is Antwuan Randle-El from back in the day followed by Matt Jones.
Bill Polian thought Lamar Jackson should have been a receiver because he's fast and athletic. It takes more than speed and athleticism to play receiver. I hope the kid exhausts all options to play QB before he entertains switching to receiver. Ryan Day at Ohio State offered him a scholarship so obviously he thinks the kid can be QB.
I'm not saying Mathis won't ever be a QB, but he has a WHOLE LOT of growth and development to do first. But if, IF, UGA were to consider a position switch for him, I'd like to see him at defensive back. He has speed and size. One of the things I get so tired of seeing is receives just jump over the heads of our cornerbacks for catches. A 6-6 DB might cut down on some of that. I think Champ Bailey played QB in high school then became All-Everything as a DB. I think the receivers we already have are talented enough (with some notable exceptions) but we haven't yet had a quarterback who can get them the ball. Go Dawgs!
Hines Ward? I know he played WR in college, but he also played QB in HS and College.
What concerns me for having another week off means Bennett will have time to recover. I hope and prey Kirby doesn’t trot him out onto the field the next time we play. We need to think about QB development for the remainder of the year and how to have an experienced QB to start next year. Just watch...Kirby will play Bennett and we’ll continue to look the same. Allow Beck or Daniels to play QB1 to open up our offense. Lastly, we need to start using our TE more than we have in the past several years. We have weapons at TE, but we’d rather use them for blocking. SMH!
Kirby - Show us your not as stubborn as we think you are. We need to dominate who we play against. In this football age, defense will only take you so far.
Go Dawgs!!
I'm thinking Urban Meyer was the coach who 1st offered D'Wan Mathis a scholarship, not Ryan Day. But, Day did keep the scholarship avaible for Mathis after Meyer left.. But I could very well be wrong about that.
I'll just say "Hines Ward". That kid played everything (QB, RB, WR) when he was needed and left UGA for an incredible career as a receiver for the Steelers.
Exceptional athletic ability needs to be used, anywhere it is needed.
