@kirkhilles "I believe that Mathis was more of a "we got to give him a shot" type thing because of his medical condition and was a one-time thing. There's no way that based on how poorly he played in that first game (8/17 with one Int) that he played the best in Practice."
Not sure I'm following what you're saying. Can you elaborate? Surely you aren't saying CKS started a QB against Arkansas he didn't feel was his best option because he felt obligated because of what D'Wan went though medically? Huh? Maybe that's easier to believe for you or some than someone got it wrong or not even necessarily wrong but that practice is one thing and when the lights come up, that's another thing. Some people just don't handle the pressure as well as others. It's why professional golfers sometimes miss 3 foot putts for the win. THey make those in their sleep without the pressure.
Everyone looks good in practice, you've heard on here how CKS said that Malakai makes thise plays in practice but in the game maybe he isn't as sure of himself or isn't as aggressive. Well there is the fear of failure. Being too tenative, the game is moving too fast for you versus practice. It happens.
This is like the 20th time this story (or a version of it) has been written since the National Championship game. We get it. UGA has three QBs who could all be the starter. The three guys will battle it out in the spring (and summer) to see who wins the job. It's likely that at least one of those three will transfer if they're not named the starter. That's about it. Let's just wait until they practice and see what the coaches decide. After two straight National Championships, I tend to want to give them the benefit of the doubt. Go Dawgs!
Georgia football scholarship breakdown for 2023
Quarterback (3): Carson Beck (Jr.), Brock Vandagriff (R-Soph.), Gunner Stockton (R-Fres.)
Beck enters his fourth year in the program but still has three more years of eligibility thanks to the COVID-2020 season.
@thadec
All of your logic is based on Beck having only two years of eligibility remaining. He actually has three years of eligibility remaining according to a January article from DawgNation.
GO DAWGS!
I truly wish all three have their shot at playing. The Dawgs always seem to be a 2nd half team. Love to watch the young guys play. However, we tend to struggle getting up big in the 1st half. Costing snaps for the backup Qbs.
"well let us just say that the Gators' last 2 full time QBs were 2nd round (Kyle Trask in 2021) and 1st round (Anthony Richardson in 2023"____
Well, that should tell us all a little something about the QB Position. Florida didn't win squat while they were holding a 1st & 2nd rounder. Lol...maybe it's not the QB...or the Coach. Interesting.
BTW...I don't think we're gonna know who UGA's "starter" will be, going forward...until about the 4th or 5th game of the season. You "can't tell" much about a QB, against severely weaker opponents...and, the Dawgs have a few, to start the season.
If you "could tell" much...Bennett would have been declared "starter" and "The Second Coming", long before he ever got the job, credit and respect he deserved. Like...right after the UAB game, in 2020. 3 of UGA's 1st three opponents in 2023 couldn't beat UAB in a pillow fight. Lol
I'm a Brock Vandagriff fan, He has the arm, no doubt, but the legs might be his strongest asset. He has the best attitude of them all and I believe he is working long and hard learning to read defenses. Vandergriff is a TRUE DAWG the evidence is all the recruiting help he gave during the Covid pandemic. He's a big reason Brock Bowers is a DAWG. I believe he will rise above the rest and become a two or three year starter. GO DAWGS!
Looking forward to a spirited QB competition! May the best QB win! Seniority should not be considered. Hope all stay with the team. One bad play may take out Number One, and the next play can take out Number 2. They will all get a chance to lead the Dawgs to a Natty if the are patient and team members.
