I agree for the most part.
This push by fans to see Fields play NOW! seems more self interest than team or player interest.
Let the young man learn in his time, give Jake the deference and support he's earned. If Fields is good enough, and I expect he is, his time will come. If he gets 2 years starting with the best roster in UGA football history, would it be so bad ?
We probably have too many fans projecting their attitudes on Kirby. Kirby seemed disappointed that Justin didn't get in when he was giving the post game interview. I believe they thought the game was too close to get him in for a series. I wouldn't be surprised if Fields starts coming in on some short yardage situations in the future, but winning is paramount for the rest of the season to stay alive in the race. He is also trying to build his roster and season the bullpups for future action. There is a balance and he's going to decide how that looks. The fans who aren't aligned with Kirby's goals shouldn't get upset when he is using the guy he thinks can win, and neither should the other side when he is trying to develop and win with the other guy.
Yes. Kirby gets paid to make those talent evaluations and those decisions. We don't. I want the person under center who will give us the best shot at winning on any given week. If that person is Fields, so be it. If it's Fromm, same.
In all honesty you made too big of a leap for me when you concluded "racist". Can you not think of other possible motivations other than racism that would lead WC to conclude what he did?
Talking about QB... oh what might have been. Check out #7 in this link:

Why else would he see how Fields progresses and support Fromm? Shouldn’t it be I’ll support Fields as the starting QB at UGA and support Fromm as the backup? So if Fields has one bad game he’s not going to support him or he’s just not going to support him from the start? Either way that’s the complete opposite of the way he’s championed Fromm. What has Fields done to him to not garner his support? Only thing I’m coming up with is racist. Jacob Eason everybody supported he gets hurt Fromm comes in, instant support. Hypothetical Fields wins the job and now he’s going to see how he progresses? It’s not blatant but that’s a racist overtone.
thanks
Nope. Fromm is the guy till he declares.
If Justin Fields transfers after one season after stating he was ok redshirting a year and welcoming competition...then he’s a quitter and I want nothing to do with that lack of fortitude.
But I think he stays and finds a way to win the job in spring and summer
He's gonna transfer. I really hope Kirby doesn't permit him to transfer to other sec schools.
Welcome back Bad Newz Brown!! We missed you the last coupe days. Did you see the game we won on Saturday? Guessing not.
So assuming you're right (dubious) the whole Fields clan said some B S about being ok with a redshirt year just so the check would clear I guess. Now the money is spent so they're going to transfer. Makes me doubt how mentally strong the kid is and his winning spirit.
As it looks right now that was BS. You don't have to believe me go look on the 247 board the Mods are alluding to someone big leaving after the season all signs point to Justin Fields. I think it's delusional to think the kid is staying.
No kidding he made a leap.
It was about as cheap as they come too. It is an example of what a putrid **** the guy really is.
If he leaves it’s not going to be good. There’s a reason CKS said in his press conference that he was disappointed he didn’t get to play. I think that redshirt talk was said because it’s new maybe JuF can’t pick up the playbook as fast or can’t adapt to the speed. All the reports from people that are allowed to watch practice say that’s not true, therefore it’s not about starting just getting some game reps playing qb not running read option plays or coming in for 2 or 3 plays and bouncing back out. Nobody and I repeat nobody is saying Fields should start even the Fields camp but he’s the best player UGA has ever recruited, you can let him run a series or 3.
Shut up racist
You're a sick little person.
I'm seriously wondering if you should have a place on this board.
You make threats of physical violence and you constantly use derogatory statements.
She's purdy...I love her some.
Just towards you, racist! Gonna support Fromm until the end but won’t support Fields gotta see how he progresses. You’re a racist you can hide it with snarky comments all you want but you tipped your hand there.
You’re the worst kind of racist too. Ok for black people to play any other position but QB oh no that’s off limits. You’re pathetic and I’ll be sure to tell you so every chance I get. Racist!
NO, it's not just me, everybody who reads here knows differently.
You've crossed a couple on lines by calling people racist and making threats.
You either need to tone it down or find another sand box to play in.
I don't think there's a single poster who is buying your BS.
