THE greatest. Belichick has no equal
Not to mention he has backed that up by drafting/signing UGA players.
And trusts another Kirby ex-protege with the green dot on his defense (Dont'a Hightower)
I'm thinking it was an accidental down vote. I was trying to up vote it myself and hit the flag button instead.
Yeah, I just wanted to avoid a debate so I didn’t say THE greatest. Granted, he’s had the benefit of Brady, but Belichick game plans better than anybody. He’s playing chess while most others are playing checkers.
Pretty sure it happens on mobile all the time. It’s glitchy on mobile navigating, commenting and even scrolling. Find myself up voting, down voting, quoting, and opening user profiles on accident all the time. I don’t consider a vote worthy of validation unless it’s 3 or more votes (up or down)
To further on that, most folks would quote you if they’ve down vote and start a debate about said topic. Up votes are just agreeing Or celebrating
@SoFL_Dawg I agree with everything you said and in fact my post said that UGA would likely help a good player get drafted marginally higher than a similar talent at UF. As you say they will likely get a chance to display their talent in more high profile games. I was merely saying that the difference may not be worth spending 3-4 years that far from "home". Money doesn't always win out in what is an emotional decision in the end. Look at Luke Ford, for whatever reason he made a much more dramatic move because at the end of the day he was not happy in Athens. He may well end up being drafted higher at Illinois than UGA because he is happy and can focus rather than seeing life as a drudge. Everyone needs to make their own call based on their life goals and not everyone will agree with their decision.
I didn't think Ford was unhappy at UGA or with Athens. I thought I read that he needed to be close to an ailing grandpa or something like that.
That was the sob story to obtain a waiver. Truth was he didn’t like Chaney as his position coach and was homesick
There’s been some info out there that the grandpa angle was put forth in an effort to gain an eligibility waiver and that it really was just a case of old fashioned home sickness.
Of course, the average fan will likely never know the full story so all I’m really doing is speculating.
But to the original point, all things being equal, of course UGA puts you in a better position to be drafted and be successful when you actually get in the League but if you’re not putting in your best effort because of other distractions in your life, it’s all probably a moot point anyway.
So back to 2020 ?

My two cents on the Williams/daughter/distance discussion; I've known several former letterman at UGA that had children and the girlfriends/baby mama/wives etc moved to Athens with them. Has Williams said specifically that baby mama is staying in Deland?
You saw my calendar for the week. On Monday Milton came through but Pittman didn't finish the wall yesterday as expected. Tonight is "Lord of the Ringo" video night and I'm stacking with that as he wants to commit in July and a 2 day wait to let Milton have his moment in the spotlight is about right.
Kelee today is my pick for #NTCTTG2020
