Thx for responding. And as usual your thoughts are very reasonable. Your probably right. But not to beat a dead horse. What if it’s a part of regular practices ? Wouldn’t that help alleviate the cold syndrome some ?
And also if I were in charge of decisions to do that, I wouldn’t tell or instruct my running QB, OK because your more of a running QB you’ve GOT to run it. I’d give him the option of running it, throwing it, or handing it off to a RB.
Now I Know you couldn’t do this with grossly inexperienced freshmen like our two new guys coming in. But Gunner has been at UGA for quite a while now, he should know the playbook thoroughly. We all Know he can run. So I’d let him practice with the 1s primarily throwing the ball. That and tutor him harder about how to read Defenses, which by now he should be at least pretty decent at that to already.
Again your probably right as rain. And I’m probably wrong Big time for even considering it. He Would have to run enough in enough games to make rival Ds think Well here comes the running QB. But wouldn’t it be a thing of beauty to see a rival D set up to prevent the run only to get their eyes stung out by a nice pass ?? 😀
And what would Really hurt them is to have some Designed runs for Beck only to be used though when he sees the opportunity from the rival D.
Beck is no SBV and never will be, that’s just not his body build, but he’s not a statue either. For his type body build he has pretty fair, not great, but pretty fair mobility.
I’m like you in that I don’t believe to much in gadget plays, trick plays that are only practiced a few times a year. That got us in trouble in this SECCG. But I think there Might be merit to something that’s practiced on a regular basis.
But all this is way over my pay grade as a fan !! 😀 Bobo and company have forgot more than I’ll ever know. Thanks again for your take. I like exploring What Ifs sometimes !! But in the end I think your right, you go with your known commodity. Why they’d Never hire me !! 😂 Take care my Bro. hope you have a great day and week !!
Agreed.
This may all be a moot point. We don't know what next year's team is gonna be, yet. They may go back to more of a Bennett style offense, with sprint-outs and designed QB runs, with a lot of RPO.
Or....they could roll out a more traditional pro-style offense with Beck [or, whoever]. For the record...I don't think so....but, it will depend on the rest of the offense and what their skill players' strengths are.
Remember...they're getting B-Rob back, next year [hopefully 100% healthy]. And, there's no telling what the Portal provides.
In any case...this is Kirby Smarts Georgia Bulldogs. They'll field a quality, competitive team...and, I for one, am looking forward to it, already. Lol
According to what i've been seeing and hearing, on The Paul Finebaum Show [SECN]....It looks like UGA and FLST Fans aren't the only ones looking forward to the Orange Bowl. This could very well, turn into a Co-Championship, before all is said and done.
Bama will win the Natty with a Texas sized beat down. They will beat Michigan, then destroy Texas in the NCG. That would make them the sole National Champion.
But, if Texas somehow squeezes it out against Bama in the Natty. Enter UGA/FSU in the conversation. One of those two teams could walk away with the AP/Coaches Poll...splitting the Championship.
I smell chaos and a few "firsts". Maybe, even a little mutiny among sportswriters, if all that happens.
I want to leave you with some "Food-for-Thought" (Lol)...
Why does Michigan's win over OSU count as a better win than UGA over Mizzou? Why does a 3-point loss to Alabama in a post season game, count as a worse loss, than TEX over Bama or Oklahoma over Texas...during the regular season?
I can understand not wanting another TCU type NCG...however, isn't Texas, TCU and Cincinnati in the same Conference? Why would a 1-loss Texas be any better than an undefeated Cincinnati or 1-loss TCU, in the Natty?
The best 4 Teams this year are UGA, Bama, FSU, Michigan. It's that simple.
They created the playoff system to give everybody an equal shot at the ring...yet, they lockout teams that can actually break the ceiling. And they do it, based on name branding, National hype and rosters...not the football games, themselves.
As long as there is zero transparency in how teams are selected for the CFP.....there will be "outrage" and accusations of Corruption. This is America....we decide Champions on the field...not in a darned smoke-filled room with a bunch of people in masks. Lol
Your absolutely right all the way around. I was just running the ole “test” signal like on TV in the ole days !! 😂 Your answers ( and reddawg1) are spot on. And bottom line about the Natty. UGA & FSU were Both Royally Screwed to accommodate a whining, belly aching, pouting Saban. All there is to it.
A HUGE Segment of CFB, Especially ESPN want him ( at all costs) to be King of CFB for at least a century, After he retires. 😂. It’s perverse but True.
