"Please reference the games that would make any reasonable Dawg fan think JT is the best passer UGA has ever had."
Why did you leave off the word "possibly"?
JT threw for 800 yards combined in just 2 games last year when the run game couldn't muster 100 yards combined in those 2 games. Basically 400 yards each game, maybe one was 397. Let that sink in. No run game to speak of and you lead your team to victories, one was the comeback against Cincy. The other was against MIss.St. In that one I believe he threw 40 passes with 0 interceptions.
Statistically, no one has approached those lofty numbers since Aaron Murray. Just say'n. How easily we forget.
All I can say is we’ve played Bama twice in the Big games and come close but no cigar in one. I Believe Kirby wants to not only beat Bama and his ole mentor so bad he can taste it, but he wants to win a National Title in the worse way. There for I do Not believe Kirby would deliberately sabotage the opportunity to win based Purely on some false sense of loyalty as some seem to think. As long as it would be Legal and Ethical to do so I think Kirby would bring on the towel boy if he thought that was the best possible answer/ method to bring home a win for the Team and Dawg Nation. I Do Not Believe that Kirby is trying to punish JT for some reason. I Do Not Believe that Kirby just flatly refuses to play JT because of some love affair for Stets simply because he’s a good ole country boy with a great story. Kirby Smart is All About winning games and taking his team to the highest levels he possibly can. I also Do Not Believe that Kirby just walks all over Coach Monken. YES Kirby is the HC and does have the final say but I Believe he has tremendous respect for Coach Monken and listens and weighs Very Closely what Coach Monken advises him. There are things behind the scenes that Media ( Thank Goodness !!) and we fans simply Don’t Know. Lastly though Yes it Is frustrating for us Information Hungry fans, I’m Glad that Kirby keeps his cards very close to his chest Or releases confusing information. It keeps the opposition guessing right on up to game time and Actually on into the game for that matter ( and not just about QBs to). Nick Saban was/is notorious for doing the same thing. Bottom line For Me I’m gonna trust Kirby Smart. He can play Jordan Davis at QB as long as it results in a Win. And when it’s all Said, Done, and Over that’s what Will count for the vast majority of Dawg Nation and national college football. Go Dawgs !!
If JT does not get injured would Stetson be QB1? If not, why is he QB1 over a healthy JT now?
Is the implication we would not be 10-0 with JT because of his lack of mobility?
It appears very few of Stetson's runs were designed runs. Why is he running so much on obvious passing plays? Is he unwilling to let the routes develop? Our pass protection has been good overall. I'll take a good pre-snap read and quick release over mobility ALL. DAY. LONG!
With all that said, just win the Natty and let the transfer chips fall where they may in 2022 because elite QB's are rarely going to sit 2 years and wait their turn anymore because nowadays, your turn may not come.
There is no doubt SB has made some nice plays with his legs and his arm, the only question remains what's he going to do if and when the chips get down. I hope they never do . I hope it's a cakewalk and a big game is never put on his shoulders where it's do or die for him and the team. I hope he can lead us to a perfect record and a NC. THat's what we all want.
However, we have seen him come out a little flat in a couple of games unable to lead us to a TD til late in the 2nd quarter. Against lessor teams and with the aide of the defense he regained his composure and mojo and did well once he got going and we gained the momentum.
Can we afford to come out flat against BAMA? Against any other playoff team? If we do could he bring us back? Probably so, but to my recollection he hasn't been tested like that. I think we've been behind once or twice all year and not by more than 7 points. So, we hope if that situation happens he can do it. It was a different team last year and so it's sort of unfair but he couldn't bring us back against FLA and BAMA last year. JT brought us back against CINCY, and threw for 400 yards against Miss St. when we ran for 12 yards.
In saying this I don't think JT should start right now. I do think he should get some significant playing time in the next couple of games. What could it hurt outside of possibly folks witnessing him pass at a higher level of play than SB. If he gets in and doesn't perform as well as SB, then some of you can say, "See, I told you so." "SB is better". RIght?
From my understanding of the article, is that JT could be a graduate assistant in spring. If thats true, he can transfer anywhere with sitting out I believe. If so,, is he even caring about playing for UGA again? Just a question I am pondering.
GO DAWGS!!!!!
CKS is too risk averse to change. We will have to hope that the defense can win a championship. Im sure that's the way he wants it anyway. We've seen this play out already in '17 and '18. I doubt JT gets any meaningful snaps until he's playing for Jimbo Fisher next year.
Stirr it up MG and AJC. Worst home team supporter newspaper in the Nation.
All I have to say is I hope something comes out to clarify this situation in a satisfying way. The level of vitriol is getting worse. This is no longer a debate, but have become legitimate infighting. There’s seems to be a dynamic no one has fully explained. Hopefully in the end, after it all comes out, we’ll all be one dawgnation again.
Are you a quarterback coach? Obviously you know nothing about college or the nfl. Truly does it matter one may have NFL talent or not? Did Fields win a National Championship with Ohio State? Alabama has how many titles and honestly Tua or Hurts will just be backups most of their career. Tom Brady was an average college quarterback. Most of the starters in the NFL never won a National Title. It has nothing to do with NFL talent to be a winner in college. We have a great team so just enjoy the ride and stop all the negative quarterback talk. Build this team up. If I was a recruit and read these negative comments I wouldn’t want to come here. Kirby isn’t the problem, it’s the press trying to create a controversy and you that can’t say anything positive!!
