Back to Arian. I think the vast majority of comments here are to support Arian. To cheer him on. I’m sure that the vast majority of Dawgs fans are well aware of the issues he’s had. But I think that same majority Believes he Can get better and are Hoping for his sake and the team that he Will get better.
Yes I’m well aware that there are plenty of other guys to throw to. But if Arian can snap out of the droppsies he Could be a dangerous weapon. Our Dawgs are a Brotherhood, when a Brother is down, But working his back side off to get better, Brothers don’t throw each other under the bus when their down. Go Arian !! Go Dawgs !!
You are right. Deep balls are way more 50/50 balls than the high % throws Beck has been making routinely. It is much harder to throw intermediate routes with accuracy than to throw the ball 50 yards and let the WR track it and run under it. If you know CKS you know he doesn't put the ball up for grabs.
You reminded me of a point I wanted to make in that last post. What would you rather have in a young, inexperienced QB ? Would you rather have a QB that hits 75% of all of his throws with excellent accuracy or a guy that hits more long balls? Beck is still a work in progress after 8 starts. Look at SBIV. Even after starting a couple of years he was still able to improve each of his last 2 years at UGA. Beck should get better with experience.
@UGADad20 I’m not saying it will happen, but you know what would just tickle my ole bones ??!!?? Would be to see Beck dial in a long bomb to none other than Arian Smith for a TD !!! That would be so Awesome !!! And might help quite the naysayers on several topics !! 😀 Hope you enjoy the game !! God Bless !! Go Dawgs !!!
That would help ASmith's confidence immensely. When you are a WR you need to believe you will catch every pass. And you want every pass coming your way. When you have drops you lose a little of that. ASmith should have been targeted a few times in every game, with especially easy throw and catches, to start to build his confidence back.
UGA fans shouldn't give up on ASmith. UGA needs him. UGA has no one else with that speed/experience combination.
