Kirby Smart: 'Verdict still out' on how pivotal JT Daniels' 400-yard game was for offense
Georgia football coach Kirby Smart is not easily impressed or quick to draw conclusions, as many are learning after JT Daniels' 400-yard performance
Comments
Soooooo tired of this. JT Daniels was the highest rated QB in the NATION last weekend!
I would say the jury's not out on JT; the jury is out on you, Kirby, and your all-knowing, all-seeing, coaching staff.
The only coach who's never simply made a mistake? Clue: there isn't one.
One more high performance game this week end and KIrby won't have much to say.... He will probably say.. "He really showed additional improvement in practice this week." Blah, Blah, Blah...
The man who says nothing but coach speak. Get your O-line ready to play, get the defense ready, stop putting JT behind the 8 Ball with run up the middle on1st and 2nd down and now your 3rd and 9 and JT still bails you out.
Have some imagination, and take your foot off the brakes. He will try to take the fun out of winning, if we let him.

I almost had a cardiac event reading this from smug Mr. Smart. I understand he is protecting the other two QBs..given. Keeps them in the game. But, gotta have that running game...protects the QB..true....but also RBs can block the blitz!!! That too protects the QB. They did some of that against MSU. UGA has a running game but Kirby is the one who needs to cipher the defense code and make that happen...! You ran beaucoup off guard runs up the middle time after time, Kirby. Leach had your number. It wasn't JT looking the wrong way or missing a target was it? 401 yds isn't missing too many targets. JT won three major SEC player of the week awards!!!! He is fantastic! Congratulate him!!! Don't stand there and spitball him!!!! I am sick and tired of this back-door rhetoric. I know it's Thanksgiving but Kirby really stirred me with this one. Enough is enough of this well he needs work and is learning. You need work as well, Sir. Without JT you would have LOST that MSU tilt!!! Period.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Thanks, Coach Smart. I hadn't laughed this hard today.
Smart explained that Stetson Bennett and D’Wan Mathis could just as easily have connected on big plays like Daniels did against Mississippi State, when he completed four passes of 40 or more yards after the team had three completions of more than 40 yards in the first six games combined.
Hilarious!
Kirby continues to embarrass himself and the program. JT saved his ass or we would have 3 losses. Stetson can’t even throw it forty yards and Mathis can’t hit the side of a barn.The more Kirby talks the more I lose faith in him. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Stetson back in there as soon as he’s healthy. Kirby is messing up a good thing. I’m starting to think he just got lucky in 2017 with Richt’s recruits. He just doesn’t seem to be able to handle being a head coach. It may be too much for him.
So it was mostly luck for JT? Maybe receivers are drawn up to a higher level of performance when they have a QB performing at a higher level.
Smart should just ****. How about giving credit to the guy who saved your team from loss number 3? I'm starting to get the idea that Kirby really DOESN"T get it! This is BS.
Something is wrong with smart. Seriously. His lack of awareness has steadily gotten worse. He is saying some really ****, tone deaf sh—t these days.
And no Kirby, Stetson and Dwan had open receivers and couldn't hit them if the opposing D was sitting in lawn chairs waiting for it to happen. They were there in the Florida game at least 4 times and not ONCE did these other guys come close. And they had no pressure at all. NONE! JT hit a high percentage with a rush. WTH are you even talking about?
We all understand the opposing defense may dictate how we play. If they are crowding the box and playing man coverage, it might be more difficult to establish a dominant ground game,, and the QB gets more shots at deep throws. If they are playing loose, and have good coverage deep, we should be able to run a train through a 3 down lineman set. It's not rocket science. Give JT some credit, he was able to do, what our other QB's were not able to do, under game conditions, when we needed it done. Period.. If the other guys, can do it also, they have not done it, in a game, which is the most important.
This is almost comical how clueless Kirby actually is these days. I know Kirby hates to give praise but comparing Stetson or D’Wan to JT is comical. Kirby you were wrong it was POOR Qb evaluation and now stop trying to cover up for it. Jt at 75% would’ve been better against UF than an Stetson and everybody sees it now. Coaching is becoming a problem with this team!
Oh Kirby!
Well, I think it's not incompetence like others are saying and firing Smart would be the absolute dumbest thing we could do.
The problem is, I believe, the disconnect between practices and games. They are not the same. You cannot simulate a real game in college football practices. You can't. Bennett CAN hit some of those throws as can Mathis, but clearly not consistently in a game. THAT is the difference that Smart refuses to accept. I can promise you that Bennett plays his absolute heart out at practices... because he has to, to have ANY chance of playing football for a Top 10 team. That doesn't mean he can do what JT did.
Kirby, please stop getting defensive and making things worse.
