    Kirby has sewn the seeds of discontent with his split the baby, toe in the water handling of the QBs and offensive staff.

    I'm not sure it's going to get better before it gets worse.
    His comments after the LSU game about the staff really thinking hard about using Fields more is just gas on the fire.
    Honestly, I'm close to hoping Fields transfers out after the season.

    An honest question for you @WCDawg . Do you think Fields transferring is in both his and the program's best interest? I personally think we are a better program with him in it, and that he can benefit greatly from leading our offense in the future.

    I do think it would be in both parties' interest.
    All 3 parties really,I have no doubt it would be better for Fromm.

    What I meant by Freeman was that, for his own good, ATL should have traded him and gotten some prospects or a good starter. I also meant that my better judgment was clouded by emotion. I'm not saying that's what happened with you talking about transfer, but my reaction about Freddy made me flashback to that time when ATL was dealing people like Kimbrell.

    As for Fromm being secure, I think all the noise coming from the fanbase is just that: noise. It won't change Kirby's thinking at all.

    The only problem I have with Freddie is he has yet to max out his power. With his natural build and bat control he should be knocking 40 HRs without sacrificing any of his OBP.

    Kind of a double-edged sword, Freddie (I've been spelling that w/ a "y"?) - that swing makes him a total threat w/ two strikes, but I think that it sometimes quells his potential power. I don't have much of a problem w/ him. We need a specialist.

    I've given my reasons many times.
    I think this dynamic is bad for the program in general and far from ideal for either QB.

    WC/RX, if you keep that anti-Dawg talk up, I suspect >99% of Georgia fans would like to see you transfer out of the fan base. Get control of yourself, men. You are talking like drunk Tennessee fans hating on your own team.

    I completely disagree. The discontent is high expectations, when realistically this was a young team. Young teams make mistakes and have bad days. Last year we had a lot of NFL ready players that came back for another year. This year not so much.

    None of that accounts for the regressions at QB and WR.
    I think this situation has been misplayed and I don't see a course correction in Kirby's plans.

    Having 2 great running backs go to the NFL doesn't account for a regression at QB? We also lost Wims. Also, I think our receiving core is better. We may be using too many of them.

    Losing talent only helps when you have better talent to replace the lose which UGA doesn't. So that want help UGA
    Fields leaving would be dumb on his part. Loses a year of playing time and he has a chance to win the job.
    Fields isn't Fromm's problem. Fromm is missing his supporting cast from last yr.

    If Jacob E. hadn't gotten hurt last year we would have seen the same dynamic last year with the QB position. This is on Kirby not the QBs.

    Very sincere post @BigDawg1

    I think we needed a few days to calm down before seeing a post like this. In the SEC the expectations are extremely high and the pressure will be high for a program like us trying to win a national title, especially when you haven't won it in nearly 40 years unlike other SEC teams who have more recent ones. Some of the issues we are having with the offensive play calling against LSU, didn't just start against LSU, it's been going on all season long. We just knew that if our offense kept playing vanilla, we were going to be exposed against a good team, and it happened in Death Valley last week. Anyways, onto this bye week and Florida eventually.

    Yeah, cause we had such an established RB and Hershel had done nothing to warrant taking his job, makes sense.

    We the fanbase can be especially potato when it comes to QB situations.
    There were people who didn't trust the coaches' decision on Fromm vs Eason and they felt the need to debate on the internet about it. This year there are people who don't trust the Fromm vs Fields decision and they feel the need to debate on the internet about it.... Keep your head on a swivel for 2019 QB1 vs Plumlee.

    Don't laugh. You know it's coming.

    Very few things I read questioned the decision to keep Jake as the starter. He'd proved himself by the time Eason was healed.
    The only similar situation as far as fans sentiments was Greene and Shockley, but Richt never wavered in saying Greene was the starter.

    You don't know that we'd have had this situation last year if Eason hadn't been injured.
    This is not common at all, still, Eason hadn't been nearly as successful his freshman season as Fromm was last year, not remotely.

    NO, losing Nick and Sony has virtually nothing to do with what we're seeing at QB this year. Wims might be a small factor, but we're deeper at WR than we were last year.
