imageMixed opinions on if Jake Fromm survives today's cuts with NFL's Buffalo Bills

There’s mixed opinions on whether or not former UGA quarterback Jake Fromm will make the 53-man roster of the Buffalo Bills. Fromm’s immediate future will be known by 4 p.m. Saturday, as that’s the deadline for the league’s annual “cut day.” Fromm bypassed his senior season at Georgia to declare early for the NFL

    Hopefully, if he is cut, another team will pick him up.

    I know he was doing what he thought was best for him, but he should have stayed at Georgia. He obviously got some bad draft info or there’s a story we don’t know about, just like I think there’s more to Newman opting out than we know. Go Dawgs!!

    Georgia has had way too many kids leave early for the draft who either don't get drafted, or get drafted late and washout of the NFL without ever making a team. Trenton Thompson, Elijah Holifield and Isaac Nauta come to mind. Now apparently Jake Fromm is going to be added to that list. All of these guys were DGD's, and all would have benefited from staying their senior years, as would have UGA football.

    I think he'll make it....he'll sit on the bench for about three years then get cut......If he is smart, He will get the best speech/acting coach that he can and start preparing for a career at ESPN. I have to be honest here, I'm glad he did not stay

    Also, if he does not make it.....Taxi squad? Laughing....That's not Fromm's style

    I'm starting to wonder if Kirby's only a good/excellent recruiter. If we don't make it to the Championship game this year, then Kirby days should be numbered. This will be his 6th season and counting. I can't see " the powers that be" or major donors waiting another 5 years to see if he has what it takes. Kirby has had top 3 recruiting classes 5 out of 6 years, the best facilities, top paid staff, etc. I'm not sure what else he needs.

    My point- our players are not being developed and used properly. No way Fromm should have been starting over Fields in 2018, but Kirby and his know-it-all or "my way or the highway" attitude have had people starting to raise an eye brow. Maybe the first half of the season, but after that LSU game Fromm should have been pulled.

    What did Fields do so differently at OSU? Nothing! However, they have a HC/Assistants that were creative enough to use Fields skill-set. However, Kirby couldn't figure it out. He's too busy screaming and jumping up and down on the sidelines, then throwing the players under the bus if they are not playing up to par. Lets see how the recruiting class will look after this year. The word is out...

    Trust me, if we don't make it this year to the title game in January, Kirby may last as HC til 2022 but that's it.

    Go Dawgs!

    David,

    I said that more than a few times early this year or end of last year. Jake was over-rated as an NFL type of QB and there is a difference. See Danny Weurfel or Tebow. Those guys delivered in college but the NFL is a different beast. Jake should be here leading us to a NC ut even that is a stretch, I just don't see Jake's lack of mobility working in a Monken offense. He probably didn't either, hence why he opted out.

     No way Fromm should have started over Fields in 2018? You mean the QB who had made it to the national championship game a season earlier? The quarterback who might have been part of a natty-winning team if things had gone slightly differently? That take makes absolutely no sense.

    I think Fields' success at OSU is in part due to the development he got at UGA. I doubt he would have done much better his freshman year at Ohio State than he did that UGA. Could we have done more to keep him on the team? Perhaps, but lots of quarterbacks are jumping to new teams in search of playing time. I don't think it's a knock on Georgia that he left.

    The Buffalo coach took him on his UGA winning record. He also liked Fromm's leadership skills and ability to read the defenses...as I recall back then. The NFL is not UGA. He did not fair well on the field. Fromm may find himself shuffling out on "out day." I agree with the Buff reporter: at best he narrowly makes the team.

    Coulda, shoulda, woulda...

  • BassDawgBassDawg Posts: 125 ✭✭✭ Junior

    I'm thinking Canadian League for him. Do well there then get back to NFL.

    Thank god you're not the one making decisions about coaching hires/fires. In four seasons as a head coach, Kirby went 8-5 (with three losses by a total of 5 points) in his first year, and then finished number 2, number 7 and then number 4 in final rankings. The influx of talent into the program since 2016 is unparalleled in the history of Georgia Football. Who in the hell would you replace him with? You're a genuine moron to think that Kirby is preventing us from winning the national championship. Kirby has had us closer to winning it than any coach since Dooley in 1982! Kirby getting fired in a couple years for not winning a Natty? You're freaking delusional.

    I guess getting called out for personally insulting another poster on this board is something that only happen to me and a few other people. If I had made that comment it would have quickly been removed and I would have been threatened with being kicked off the board

    Oh, please. But on your big boy pants. "Mama, this guy on the internet hurt my feelings."
