I totally agree with hack!! DawgNation took a major hit for quality journalism when Seth Emerson left and was replaced by MG. The Athletic is a far, far superior site than DawgNation, unfortunately
That's awesome to hear. Can't really blame the QB's for wanting to learn from coach Monken.
Georgia fans have come to realize what we have in our OC. Now the rest of CFB is taking notice.
Sounds like we have nothing to worry about when it comes to the QB room. I would love to see Vandagriff emerge as the starter because he’s from Athens. Having said that, you can’t go wrong with Beck from what I’ve seen of him. He’s stayed with the UGA program and understands the culture. This 2023 roster will be loaded!
GO DAWGS!
Not a truer statement has ever been made on this site.....you can not win squat with one QB. Every team has back-ups, hopefully, they are close to the skill sets of the starter. Georgia has worked to have three back-ups that are as good as and maybe we'll find out better than the best QB in Georgia history..... Stetson Bennett IV........sorry Fran.....
As I've said before, I'd like to see Carson and Brock split time next year according to situation. I believe they are mature enough and focused enough to handle that task. That would pose an extra problem for opposition defences. It would also allow game time for Stockton in a "clean up/closer" role.
Awesome! I thought for sure that Vandagriff would transfer, so that is excellent news. It should be quite the competition between Beck, him and Stockton.
Yessir. I remember that he had originally had his sights on Oklahoma, then decided to stay home. Last season, I got a bad taste in my mouth for Beck when he threw a pick and essentially shrugged it off before the interceptor was even down. That has changed this season, of course. Coaches maintained faith in him, and he has a different sort of presence. I've still wondered why it is, exactly, that Brock wasn't getting much backup time. The only reasonable explanation is that... the coaches have more faith in Beck. With that, so do I. However, I'm definitely stoked that BvG is right behind him (currently). That's not based on much more than what I know about his high school days, though.
On a whole different trip, Gunner went to the same high school that one of my cousins went to (several, several years behind her), and her connection to his high school days (maybe slightly before he was so outwardly a UGA possibility) tied me in to watching part of his younger career. That kid is beyond legit. Thus, even with what BvG has put in, and even with the faith the staff has shown to have in Beck, whatever happens in the next several months is going to be exciting. Remember when Fromm - as a true freshman - replaced Eason, and everyone (for about five seconds) thought our season was toast? That's not even a possibility at this point (everyone has at least a year in Monken's system), and Fromm led us to our first title run under Smart.
I've said it, you've said it, and (hopefully) every dang one of us has heard it. It is great. To be. A Georgia Bulldog.
I Love how our QBs are so unselfish !! And how they are willing to sacrifice. The article talks about how both BVG and Gunner have at times put on the red shirt in practices which allows defenders to hit them !! That’s taking it for the team !! Honestly though I know in the end there can only be one starter, I’m pulling for all three !! All three are DGDs in my book !! Wish them the Very Best !! I’m Confident that Kirby will make the right choice. May the best man win !! Go Dawgs !!
Yeah, we've seen so little of Vandagriff that it's tough to get a solid opinion on him - I wish he would've had more chances to play in cleanup roles. From what little I saw, though, it seemed like he had a tremendous arm but maybe needed more time to polish it. Still, one attempt all year... ugh, come on.
You're right. When Emerson left so did a lot of the credibility.
When Carson got into games this year and was allowed to throw the ball, I can’t remember one bad pass. His balls were on time and perfectly placed. This was with him playing with the twos and threes against the opponent’s ones.
That being said, I trust Kirby and Monken to make the best decision for the team! Whoever wins the competition will be one heck of a QB!
I'm tempted to arrive at conclusions about these QBs without a lot of information. All we really know is that Beck has looked good in mop-up duty, and that Brock and Gunner are more mobile than he and also have strong arms.
I'm thankful that, for now at least, all three of them seem to want to stay. Can't wait to see what each of them looks like in the Spring!
If Herschel hadn't left for the USFL we would have won it all in '83. But a $10M contract was way to big to turn down. That would be $30m in today's money and it was a guaranteed contract. I still think Herschel was the best running back to ever strap on a pair of cleats.
Lol...that's what yall said last year...and, the year before that. Seems like people would get tired of being wrong. UGA is a different animal than all the rest. You can't apply the old "rule of thumb" to the Dawgs. It won't work.
I agree, 100%. And, Dooley knew it. Herschel actually went to Dooley and asked him if he could help him get out of it, after the fact. Dooley asked him if he signed anything. When Walker said he had signed with an agent, they both **** near cried.
Walker didn't really want to go, but, there was nothing anybody could do about it. It was a real tragedy for Walker and the Dawgs. That's what happens, when you allow greed to get in the ear of impressionable kids, whose only dealings with the world, revolve around a game and College.
Very unfortunate, for all concerned. SMH
