I'd like to give these quarterbacks a little more credit than some are here. UGA has finally become "that place" where the standard for excellence is obvious. The players on the practice field who rarely see game action are not sitting around planning their exit for the greener pastures of more playing time. To casually say things like one foot out the door or as good as gone about these young men is really inaccurate. While some may, in fact, leave the program, it is far more likely that very few will. If you do the work, you know coming that you will be evaluated and developed. Everyone wants that NFL payday but building your resume for life is equally important.
Stetson knows he will never go pro, these other kids(men) do not know that yet-if you are mostly referring to the QB situation(I assume you are).
WHen they give up on the idea of going pro they can focus on their resume for life or they can do both simultaneously(why not). Also, THey don't have to work on their life resume at UGA. THe idea that they should/or will just accept they aren't good enough to start somewhere else is not valid(at least not at this point(CB having what? 4 years of eligibility left? )
I doubt JT would return to work on his "resume of life" at UGA when he can turn pro and go 2nd or 3rd round, or if he is eligible to tranfer out to another college program he may decide to bet on himself if lured by say a Jimbo, or some other program where they will lose a starter. He could still comeback next season and lead another team to the NC or possibly win the Heisman and collect a huge payday by moving up in the draft.
Why should any of them just give up on their dreams at this point? Not to mention just the love of the game and wanting to start somewhere, if it becomes clear you're not going to start where you are, barring a couple of major injuries to the guys in front of you.
It certainly wouldn't be the 1st time and certainly won't be the last that a talented QB playing for a top school couldn't find the field and transferred out and became a starter somewhere else.
