It appears that a particular poster is interested in his post count more than anything. One reason he's on my ignore list because it cuts the reading time on these threads in half.
I sometimes agree with WCDawg and agree with some of what he seems to be saying here, but there are solutions far better than a transfer. WCDawg can name some.
An excellent, scholarship QB who just happens to be our only backup scholarship QB might be an asset to hang onto.
Just saying...
Go, Dawgs!
Herschel and Justin were similarly rated out of high school at their respective positions. Dooley said he didn’t know what he had in Herschel. He sort of ran like a fullback and probably didn’t appear SEC ready to the staff. I’m glad you weren’t there to run Herschel off because his reps were making the starter, Norris, nervous! Of course, we know the rest of that story.
My point is that nobody knew how good Herschel was until he proved it on the field and he didn’t convince them in practice, just like nobody knows how good Fromm and Fields are going to be. The light could come on for Fields against the Gators next Saturday (much like Fromm vs. App State), or it could be a slower process like many other great QBs. It could take Justin a season or two to get SEC ready in all phases of his game. You don’t know when that is going to happen; I don’t know; Kirby doesn’t know, and Fields doesn’t even know. He could even end up being a flop. You also don’t know that Fromm will stay healthy. We may win out and we could need Justin to take the reins against Alabama. The fact that you could write that you were considering “hoping Fields transfers out after the season,” borders on Dawgnation treason, WC. That’s drunk Vol talk there, man.
I know a guy who sells doors...sturdy ones too!
Honestly, I'm hoping that Justin Fields not transfer out because if he goes to 1 of our rivals I'm gonna have Quintuplets man and that would b PAINFUL. ESPECIALLY if it's to Florida. But what I hope is that he goes to the coaching staff and tells them that if he can't beat Fromm out (And I don't know if he can or not) by next season then take a redshirt and create 2 years of separation between the 2. This would put Jake Fromm at ease to where he's not looking over his shoulder and can lead what will still b a young team next year. But it'll b led by an experienced Jr (Fromm obviously)and the 2019 DT QB (Plumlee who's a baller, trust me. I dare u.) can come in as a change of pace where needed. But something tells me that if he's(Fields) not starting by next year he will surely transfer and I'll probably go into labor as soon as I get the news. But GO DAWGS either way.
If he left for playing time then he has had a change of heart. He committed with 2 5 star QBs in front of him and one who just played for a natty! Just wanted a chance to compete and I’m sure he is getting that in practice. Lot of garbage time wasted on him handing the ball off or sitting while the walk on hands the ball off.
If the coaches can’t handle the parsing of all their words and the criticism of their every decision they’re in the wrong profession.
And as for the players, if their Psyches are so fragile that criticism, even the un-informed and unfair variety from a diverse fan-base, can damage their egos, self-opinion and confidence, then they should go to some back-water JUCO somewhere.
And then there’s this forum……..is it really a forum or is it an encounter group focused on sensitivity training?
Silliness, pap and pedantry bother me more than observations from stoopid posters.
It's not that simple.
It's already to the point of being an issue, I don't see how this plays out well for all 3 sides.
I think we'd be in a better place right now as a team if not for the dynamic of Fromm/Fields, and I suspect it could just be starting, no pun intended.
So this generated way more talk than I thought it would. I think the coaches have a place for both QB's, now and for the future. I also think that Kirby is super careful not to expose the real plan so that teams can't game plan against it. He seems to be calculated in his answers. Also, he is asked about this ALL THE TIME. I mean, almost daily. At some point, you just start giving quick easy answer just to move on. UGA understands their issues. They understand the work it takes. We will have a great season. Please remember, Jake Fromm has only lost 3 games total. 3. That's less than most SEC teams this year alone. Maybe act like he is at least a decent football player? Justin's time to shine is coming. Promise. We will be a more efficient, physical, and mature team come Jax. No doubt about it. GOOOOOOOOO DAWGS!!!!!
