Not dealing with reality here buddy? Look: Alabama lost 7 of 11 starters on offense to the NFL - QB, RB, 2 WRs, 3 OL - and his offensive coordinator to Texas. Came into 2021 with a true sophomore dual threat QB needing to learn his 2nd pro style offense in as many years and a gaggle of inexperienced unproven guys at nearly every position but WR (Metchie) and LT (Neal). So, going 11-2 with a Sugar Bowl victory would have been considered a successful season. Even going 10-3 would have been acceptable so long as Young played well down the stretch.
Instead, Young has a record-setting Heisman season that doesn't fall apart until midway through the 4th quarter of the NCAA title game against a historically great defense. So tell me what is supposed to "gall" Nick Saban again? In a rebuilding year that no one expected them to contend for a title in the first place, if you think that Saban doesn't prefer losing to UGA in the title game to falling to Ole Miss and their future Panthers starting QB Matt Corral or to Auburn and their 5 star QB Patrick Nix during the regular season and not even making it to Atlanta in the first place then - again - choosing fantasy over reality there.
Simply put, this is a WIN for our QB room and therefore Georgia. The LAST thing we need are more QBs transferring.
I'm going to keep saying this - if you want to have a big passing game, then build your offense for a big passing game. Get all of those Elite WRs that Bama gets and have the formations to match. Otherwise, pick the QBs that pay the offense you've designed.
I still don't understand Arch's numbers. I get it's an apples/oranges, but compared to Vandagriff and Stockton they are pretty laughable. QB rating has gone down each year. Completion percentage is only 65%. Only 1,371 yards his Junior year. ****? Stockton had 4,100 yards, 55 TDs (to Manning's 17) and only 1 INT to Manning's 4.
I'm serious in that I would honestly like to know. Arch's numbers are no where close to what you'd expect from a "generational" perfect-score QB. What am I missing?
If you think it doesn't bother Saban that a guy that had 1. count them one D-1 scholarship offer to New Hampshire of all places that he put up 27 points on his team to beat them, then you are the one who needs a reality check "buddy" or you're just a BAMA troll so which one is it?
Couldnt agree more. Impressive guy who could really merge nicely with the current QB room (the younger ones, obviously), and maybe even take it to the next level with some development and strong WR recruiting in parallel
I'm no expert, but what would seem to be useful would be for the backups to get some more meaningful snaps in whatever games Georgia gets socked away early. It seems like the backups come in and hand off and the Dawgs punt. M'rite?

I think you will see this year more than in the past Beck and Brock will get significant mop-up time in leads where the game is well in hand. I can see a scenario where each gets to lead drives where they get to throw it 2-3 times each in the 4th quarter unless one guy is just so far ahead of the other that he's the clear #2 guy. THey have to get experience heading into 2023. Just handing it off does little IMO as far as getting to see who looks the best when the adrenaline is out the ****.
I agree they will likely get much more playing time. Last year we were trying to get Stetson more reps with the starters after JT couldn’t play. Also, don’t forget that by limiting playing time in 2021 we preserved a year of eligibility for BOTH Carson and Brock. Now they both have 4 years remaining since 2020 didn’t count against Beck’s eligibility. Go Dawgs!!!
We didn't get Manning, we do have Brock and Gunner. I think both are capable of winning the championship, Again!
Any person that thinks a kid should be made a starter because of his high school career, number of stars, and/or last name should find a different sport to follow. A football coach will play the players (any position) that he thinks will win. They could give a rat's ass about what you think. If Fields had not quit on UGA, he would have started after Fromm lost his mind. He probably thought having talent was more important than understanding the game. His choice to make, but I believe he would have been successful at Georgia had he stayed. The Manning family was probably looking at the big picture. Is it more impressive to look good on an okay team or look good on a great team? I think our QB room is in good shape. The national championship doesn't count more if you have a 5 star qb.
I am a college football fan, and not an NFL fan. I am also a Georgia fan. Therefore, none of this matters to me in the least. I don’t care about highly rated QBs, I care about Georgia winning championships. 😉
