Georgia quarterback shuffle, Jermaine Burton transfer news cause stir on social media
Georgia football had a busy day of news with the transfer portal and Stetson Bennett returning.
Comments
Well said Mr Milton. Please coach up these young men to ignore the ignorance. Most UGA fans are highly appreciative of every player and what they contributed to the Championship. That being said, just as the players have to do what is best for them , CKS has to do what is best for the team. Every player needs to earn his playing time every week at practice. Time for CKS to do what he does best. Built a team.
The Burton decision is puzzling. He would've been in a great position for an expanded role at UGA.
But this free agency - transfer portal is like the wild West. I don't believe for a second that rival coaches are waiting for these players to enter the portal. There's likely plenty of pre-portal poaching going on. It will be interesting to see where Burton lands.
The lamenting of the two big losses, I get. However expected they (or at least one of them) might have been, it's still really disappointing to actually see it happen. The whining about the return of the starting quarterback, I don't understand. I say this as someone who has never been shy about expressing my preference for Daniels over Bennett: it's not the end of the world, guys. Bennett showed real improvement from 2020 to 2021. Maybe he's not done improving. I think the biggest thing is keeping Monken. If he stays, I think we're gonna be ok. (I think I heard he recently went out on a recruiting trip to see Manning; maybe that's a good sign that he's on board for 2022?)
With Stetson's decision to return, I understand and support Jermaine's decision to leave-though I hate to see him go.
Like Mike Griffith points out, Stetson only throws about 15-20 times a game on average, and most of those to Brock Bowers and very few passes downfield outside the numbers-not many opportunities for Jermaine to show his skills.
I would much rather see Stetson leave and Jermaine stay. At least Jermaine got a "Natty" out of it, and they can't take that away from him.
He will go to an elite offense like Alabama and show off his receiver talent as he couldn't at UGA.
Burton bolt is very big. He can hurt UGA if he stays in the SEC.
Welcome to the new world of college football. This is unfortunately going to happen on a team with as much talent as Ga . I wish they would all stay but it's just not going to happen. If our biggest problem is the starting QB on the National Championship team is returning then we are going to be fine. Kirby is as good as anybody around at bringing in talent. Let him do his job and lets enjoy the ride.
There are some idiotic comments on social media. Those folks shouldn't consider coaching.
It's actually hilarious.
If Burton wants to go that's his life and his decision. Bowers took a lot of targets away and rightly so. I'm sure Burton has his reasons, so I wish him well. Bowers is a star. AD showed what he can do. I hope Darnell W. stays and becomes a weapon on the other side. Scary to think what he could do with a full, healthy season. The cupboard isn't bare. This transfer portal deal has made it way too easy IMO. But who cares what I think. These guys who want to transfer should think long and hard. D Rob got lost in obscurity. Others might too. Their life. But UGA's trajectory makes me wonder why someone wouldn't want to be a part of that. Guess they need to be the man somewhere else to try and improve draft stock. Can't fault someone for that.
I Really hate to see Jermaine leave. Wish him the Very best as long as it’s not against the Dawgs. But like I said on another thread that portal door swings both ways !! Right now things “ look” sort of bad but I am confident in Kirby and his staff. He’ll get the guys we need. And he’s already said No One is guaranteed a position. So let the competition at All positions begin !! Dawgs are gonna be fine and right back in the mix to compete for another National Title !! Just Think of all Kirby has achieved in Really the short time he’s been at UGA, When you Do consider all he’s done !! Go Dawgs !!
JT + JB = package deal. Think it's a coincidence they announced w/in an hour of each other? Watch Notre Dame and Texas A&M. Gonna light it up. Good luck to both of them. Gotta do what's right for you.
I wonder if coaches encourage certain players to leave?
