WATCH Georgia QB Jake Fromm: 'I've got to hit those shots'
Georgia football quarterback Jake Fromm is not posting prolific passing numbers, but the Bulldogs keep winning and Kirby Smart is not concerned
Comments
Jake is obviously feeling the pressure. Even Swift was pissed when he didn’t check out of the run to the left late, with the corner cheating. Can’t play tight. Grip it and rip it, Jake. Go Dawgs!
Kirby is living between Jake's ears. Far too many easy throws require the receiver to make an acrobatic catch because Jake is overly cautious of the defender. When the receiver isn't able to make an acrobatic catch, the throw is just off his hands. That was the case on both potential TDs. A HC who hamstrings his offense because of an insatiable fear of the offense making a mistake is a terrible thing when that fear is transmuted into the mind of his QB and affects his ability to make the necessary plays to fulfill his team's potential.
C'mon Kirby! Give the offense the same enthusiastic support and freedom you give your defense! They have just as much talent, athleticism, and play making ability if you would only free them to do their jobs!
Not much can be said, Jake. You try too hard at times, especially in the rain. Couple of finger-tippers: woulda-coulda-shoulda been TDs, plus some nice short shots to Swift really helped. My man Pickens...on the money to him, finally. I truly hope the GA Tech game is dry. We are rooting for you, Jake. About all I can say......except thanks to Swift, best RB in the game and Hot Rod.....he can kick that ball!!!!!!! Wow! Defense again..."tired" or not...GO DAWGS!
PS: I hope LSU doesn't see the replay video.
This offseason our number one priority better be finding an offensive identity. We have a championship defense and a middle school offense with a gun shy QB who everyone keeps saying is so great.
I've heard that Fromm has relatively small hands - that's a problem throwing in the rain (or cold). Having said that though, we all used to react when folks called Fromm a "game manager" but, in the end, they were right. I don't know if he's hurt, but right now he's got a noodle arm.
This is all on Fromm. He better get mentally tough because I know the guy behind him isn't scared (gunslinger Stetson Bennett). He still isn't seeing wide open receivers (Cook and D-ROB). I would not blame Cook one bit if he transfers
Kirby needs to take a page from Coach O books and step his ass back and let the coordinators do their job. Stop Implementing your philosophy on the offense!! It worked for Bama in 2011 but it’s not suited for the game in 2019, even Saban changed offenses. Kirby is the restricter plate on this race car!! Fromm is obviously broken from over coaching and plays scared all the time. Not often you see a college Qb get worse as the years go along but we have somehow made that happen.
Something is just not right with Jake. Some of his throws are tentative and arrive late. He often overthrows receivers and sometimes just doesn't see the open man. I don't know if he is hurt or, as someone has said, that Smart is in Jake's head. Our offense is the worst it has been in years, but we have all of these 4 and 5 star athletes. The play calling is too conservative. C'mon Kirby, open up the offense and let Jake get back the confidence he has apparently lost.
Jake is playing scared. Don't make a mistake, Kirby, is in his head.
The over throw to Pickens on what would have been a td wasn't on Fromm. If you watch the replay you will see Pickens slow a tad after the ball was in the air. If he ran through it wouldn't have been a couple inches short. You can see it on SEC Now
"No concern there"..Really? Easy completions and badly thrown, do that against LSU and it'll be a long game for the DAWGS.
I don't care how we do it ! JUST WIN BABY !!!!!!
