Blah, blah, blah.
...too bad you weren’t around in 80 to talk Herschel into leaving!!
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.
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.
Great original post. Spun out some from there,but. GREAT ORIGINAL POST!!!
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.
Alrighty, going to have to agree to disagree. Making this a habit.
Sure there were a few who still called for Eason once he healed, but from what I saw and read the overwhelming majority of fans and pundits thought Jake was the right choice.
Sorry, I usually don't even notice who post what, I assure you I'm not targeting you or anybody else.
I probably read some, but I wasn't posting here while Eason was at UGA.
I see your point though. many fans scream for the back up when things go a bit wrong.
OP was great, then it spun out of control a little bit. Exactly what the OP was talking about. I can't imagine the pressure these teenagers are under. Old f'rs like us scrutinizing every move they make and calling them out if we don't like something. Brutal. My son played DII ball his freshman year. No scholarship, just loved to play. The hours he put in at practice were incredible. His grades suffered and he had to leave the team the following year. But the experience of being a parent of an NCAA football player were eye opening. I can't imagine being a kid who is on ESPN regularly.
Anyway, this is still an elite team. Great things are on the horizon...maybe not a NC this year, but I believe we will get there. Don't let one bad game spoil your attitude. Nobody wins every game every year.
I'm wondering if this "QB controversy" is simply a figment of the media and fanbase's imagination. I haven't heard any grumblings from Fields. He's here to learn to be an NFL caliber pocket passer. We know he has the legs to be an elite college RPO QB...but those guys are one knee injury from being unemployed. What's the likelihood of a running QB in the SEC to survive three years without major injury? You only need one good season to be a Top 5 draft pick. I think Fields if probably OK with not starting as a true freshman.
Some of you so called Dawg fans need to follow Big Dawg1 leed. He is a true dawg fan and not a whiny baby like some of you little poodles. Yeah I was not happy with the out come and how we got away from the run so quick but Im a dawg and I love my dawgs!!!! So **** it up and quit acting like poodles or a chihuahuas act like a DAWG!!!!!!
You should have saved that for your 20th post, I believe 20 is bronze.
You don't know that we wouldn't have had it either!
Eason beat out Fromm for the starting spot last yr. Eason stays healthy and wins games guess Fromm would be SOL in your world WCDawg.
I don't know that a bear won't crash through my front door and take a leak on my living room floor either.
