One question, these reporters are going on what they heard from within the program that JT ain’t hurt.
if I remember correctly, nothing was reported of a JT injury before the Clemson game and afterwards we find out he was injured 2 weeks before the game.
its slightly egocentric to state that because you haven’t heard it then there’s no way it can be true.
one last thing for Mike: Kirby values taking care of the ball more than anything. He talks about that historically more than continuity
THere's no way on God's green earth that SB is so far ahead of JT in what they show in practice that he isn't even an option. to come into a game we're clearly going to lose, if for nothng other than to provide a spark. JUst to see if he makes any difference whatsoever. THat's impossible. Again, impssible!!
So, we're left with one of two reasons. #1 JT's parent's may have said something to Kirby after the Tennessee game where they assumed JT would get some throws in, they were realy excited per BRad Nessler that morning. They may have said something(voiced their displeasure)to CKS that pissed him off, and he said to himself, "OK if that;s what you think then screw you and JT. IF that's the case then we'll never know.
THe only other option IMHO is that going back to Fields CKS doesn't like anyone questioning his decsions as to who plays QB. Thousands believed Fields should have played more and gotten more throws.(Sound familiar?) But Kirby is a stubborn cuss and the last thing he wants is JT coming in, in the 4th quarter and looking dazzling(not saying that he would) and then Kirby has egg on his face and has to now answer all the questions about why he started SB or why didn't he start JT at the beginning of the 3rd quarter? In other words you can't question his decision becasuse he won't give you anything to compare it to.
Alright BA, Stetson’s stats in 2 games vs Bama - 47 of 88 for 609 yds, 5 td 5 int, 13 rush att for 23 yards. Not exactly championship winning numbers, but not bad for a former walk on. I think we can all agree it’s going to take more than those numbers to win it all. You wanted facts BA, here are some.
JT’s stats we don’t know, he hasn’t had the chance.
Don’t know if Kirby would let his pride cost him the natty.
one thing to remember about fields is he had a horrible attitude. Don’t y’all remember the audio after the South Carolina game?
The most difficult roster position to manage on any team is the quarterback. It has become even more difficult with the transfer portal
I have to comment on BA's conclusion that more passes with JTD has not resulted in more points for UGA. I believe the key to beating AL is more reliant on longer drives, time of possession AND FEWER MISTAKES. We have seen SBIV vs AL twice now and 1) the failure to convert 3rd down and 2) ESPECIALY the QB mistakes have killed any chance for UGA to outscore AL. We have seen the same thing from SBIV twice. His style is one read, scramble and throw it up (often in harms way). We do not know if JTD can do any better. BUT we do know that SBIV has failed to do it twice with very similar results. JTD has performed better on 3rd down and JTD knows where his 2nd and 3rd reads are if the 1st read is not there. I turned the AL game off in the 2nd Q when I saw SBIV pressured and throw the check down to Cook in the right flat into the ground. We have seen this show before.
