🤣🤣🤣.....great post, Navy. Hilarious...and, true.
This is what has Me and I think allot of our fellow Dawgs fans scratching our heads. Colton Ginn the preferred walk-on lead his 4A Perry HS to the State Championship and won. He had offers from numerous Div2 schools where he’d have probably been their starter. If he waited a bit he’d have probably gotten offers from some lower tier D1 schools as either the starter or possibly #2 guy. Yet he chose to forego all those.
He said something to this effect: “ I wanted to go and Play at the school I’ve been a Fan of all my life”. Wow !! Talk about loyalty to the program !! Wouldn’t he fit the bill of #4 guy for practice purposes ?? And I’m Very Sure Kirby knows Far more than I do.
But for the sake of discussion let’s say Kirby fetches a guy out of the TP that Shows Clearly and Consistently that he IS better than Gunner. Well it’s not an absolute but pretty close I’d think that Gunner would probably hit the TP. If that happened your right back in the same position again with only Three scholarship QBs !! Bobo raved about Gunner, so either Bobo is deliberately misleading Dawgs fans which I doubt, Or Gunner is a pretty solid QB.
The people here in Rabun County say that bar none he is The best QB to pass through their school !! I posted his HS stats on the other thread. Pretty dawg gone impressive. He was redshirted but he’s now entering his third year at UGA. So to risk running him to the TP I would sure hope that Any QB Kirby nets from the TP would be Very high quality !! Thoughts ??
Yes you people that have piled on a kid that made a decision he thought was best for him. Just like CBeck did when he leveraged an offer and hinted commitment to Florida to get his desired offer from UGA. SAME EXACT THING.
Don't have a hissy fit fabricated in your own mind. YOU said "we're all merely cheerleaders" . I said there were "already too many cheerleaders here". Big difference. I can't help your reading comprehension. I am here to make you think. Otherwise it is a steady diet of "Go Dawgs", "We're the best!", "No one can compete with us". Pretty sad and monotonous.
LOL not trying to "influence CKS's decision". Did you miss your med's today? It's not about '24? It is '24. Remember CKS bringing in JTD when UGA already had Jamie Newman (and others)? CKS IS hedging his bet of having an experienced QB starting and having and experienced QB in reserve. Football 101. Sorry if that is over your head. Otherwise CKS wouldn't be trying to bring in another QB. CKS brought in Ginn late in case he doesn't find what he wants in the TP. He covered that base as well just in case. He will bring in another experienced QB. Mark it down.
Learn from @BigDawg61 and @BigDawg888 (same guy?) and stay in your lane. You don't want any of this.
Gunner's a solid QB. No question. Puglisi, probably is, as well.
There's no real issue in the QB room, IMO. I just think, Smart wants to go into Spring Practice with 4 qualified QB's. To run the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th teams and give Bobo some flexibility with respect to quarterback health.
He may not be able to carry a 4th team on offense, this year....without a QB to run it. But, I wouldn't count em out. This is about the time, Kirby reached out to Bennett, in 2019. Only...Bennett was actually brought in to be backup to Fromm, after Fields left.
I look for Kirby to find a JuCo transfer or walk-on. He'll get his 4th QB, IMO.
Feeble attempt at redemption. You expose yourself with the accusation that 888 and myself are one and the same. Seein' as how...that's what I accused you of, some time back. I know you have shadow accounts...and, you are not a Dawg Fan. But, I could care less. Just a light snack, for me. Lol
I didn't notice anybody attacking this kid, on a personal level. As you've stated many times....it's a business. And, in any business...a prospective "employee's" behavior during the interview and hiring process....is fair game.
Don't be so defensive.
UGADad20, Carson Becks 72.4% completion rating was for his first year as a starter, not his first year at Georgia, he also had 1.9 yards per carry, Stetson Bennett had a 64.5% completion rate his first year as a starter, and a 68.3% completion rate his second year as a starter, but he had a 4.6 yards per carry, and a 3.6 yards per carry those same years, that is what won Stetson the starting QB position, plus those guys on the team wanted to play for him, and with him, just ask Nolan Smith, and far as Carson Beck using his offer for Florida to leverage Georgia how come he committed to Bama after that offer, he didn't commit to Georgia until a month after he decommitted from Bama, Maiava committed to Georgia one day, then turns around and commits to USC the very next day, that's a bush league move.
Well said. Perfect logic and analysis.
And I can’t help your narcissistic view of your football knowledge and objectivity. I haven’t as you said “ piled on anyone”. You talk about MY reading comprehension, perhaps you should take a little gander at your own. I stated over and over Whoever and Whatever is best for the Team.
And I made no secret that Yes I am a Gunner Stockton fan AFTER being a Dawgs fan. And Yes I Try to take All my meds everyday as I Have to. Be Very glad that you Don’t have to take meds. And YOU were the person that said Clearly “to many cheerleaders on here need more objectivity”. Well Mr. Objectivity let me tell You something, No One likes to be talked Down To. Like we’re grossly inferior to You, Oh Great Sir.
I’ve Never tried to proclaim or present myself as a CFB expert, or a Coach, or have Insider knowledge. Just a long time fan nothing more nothing less when it comes to this site. Now I can tell you this from my little time of nearly 67 years on this planet, Nobody likes a Smart Azz. I don’t think there’s a soul on here that appreciates You referring to them as “ you people” or implying that outside of YOUR objectivity everyone else are merely Cheerleaders. And it doesn’t take much reading comprehension ability to see that’s Exactly what You implied.
And We ARE the Best, and when fully healthy and firing on all cylinders No One CAN compete with us, and lastly and I know you really hate this one Go Dawgs !! Sorry you find Dawgs FANS cheering for the Dawgs TEAM to be so monotonous !! No more so than your Vain attempts at being so called “objective”.
The Truth is if you were half as smart about CFB as the Legend In Your Own Mind you’ve become you’d have a Job in it and wouldn’t be on here Lecturing us underlings that you seem to think of us. You know the “You People” crowd. Now I need to make sure I take all my meds.
Not sure how I got dragged into this morass of molasses. Geesh..guys.
Anyways, 61 you know we get along as does Navy and I. I usually do not see eye to eye with Fake Dawg Dad. He is occassionally right about something (2 in 100 type of thing). That being said I try to be cordial and objective and give him an occassional up vote when he is correct. Now back to the topic of conversation.
This kid is not cut out to be a Dawg if he commits and leaves next day. I never really thought he would be qb1 anyways and Kirby I'm sure was very honest with saying look "we never thought Stetson Bennett was going to be qb1 let alone a Heisman finalist but he kept grinding and it happened"
What else can Kirby say?
Chief you are the expert at feeble attempts. That's your home run swing. LOL If I have shadow accounts why is there seemingly only 1 account that is as objective (objectionable apparently?) as I am? Why don't those "shadow accounts" ever question some of the other knuckleheadedness that I do? You really are clueless. @BigDawg888 is a little more tactful in his criticism and frankly has a little more football knowledge than you do. Though both of your responses are too steeped in cheerleading. So , in retrospect, I don't think you have the chops to pull off his responses. Most fans responses would be more interesting to read if they examined the situations from all sides and provided more thoughtful, objective ideas.
It's a business? Still a young person trying to make a life decision. Did I say "attack"? I don't think I said that. I have seen a pretty fair amount of criticism. And not just this kid but any kid that flips. Really petty and unnecessary. Many of the people here didn't want him in the first place.
What can I write now that will "influence CKS". That's pretty funny.
@WildmanSlayer 72.4% 1st year of game playing experience. Don't forget SBIV had a year at UGA and a year starting in JC (and another year at UGA?) before he started at UGA. SBIV had much more game playing experience before Beck's 1st start this year. My point was, when comparing QB's GS and Maiava, that tall QB's can usually see the field better. And that usually translates into higher completion %. I saw Maiava listed at 6'5" 227 lb. GS is not much more than 6' tall. I will say this. EVERY time SBIV dropped back to pass I held my breath. EVERY year. I didn't find myself doing that at all this season w/Beck. He just saw the field better and usually didn't put the ball in harms way.
My recollection of the Beck commitment timeline was 1) committed to AL, 2) after apparent AL de-commitment, visit FU, receive offer hint at commitment, 3) soon after visit UGA get offer commit. CBeck has said it. He wanted an (committable) offer from UGA and used FU's interest to leverage an offer from UGA. Not my words, his. CBeck used FU offer for leverage to get UGA offer. Maiava used UGA "commit" (not sign) to get a raise in NIL dollars/ guarantee of start from USC. Not sure I see a significant distinction. Not saying it is the right thing to do to use leverage in either case. Most people use leverage every chance they get.
Yeah I have Zero problem with it not that it would matter if I Did have a problem with it. I’m not a high $$ private jet owning fan of UGA 😂 Just an ole po folks fan Lol. So it ain’t gonna matter an H E double hockey sticks What I think or my opinions !! 😀
ALL I’ve said over and over is that IF Kirby gets a guy out of the portal and IF Gunner perceives he’s gonna be outdone he Might hit the TP. Which would put us right back at Only 3 scholarship QBs. Yes I’m a Gunner Stockton fan, SECOND to the Dawgs Team. I’ve said Whoever and Whatever is Best for the Team, repeatedly stated that. Let me ask you do you see anything Offensive to You or you think any Dawgs fans in my comments ??
OK to proceed I DID call into question Maiava’s stats by saying they MIGHT need to be taken with a grain of salt as the Mountain West Conference is a Far Cry from the SEC. Do you find That offensive ?? Think any Dawgs fans should find that offensive ??
These are the things I’ve stated. And like many other Dawgs fans have Questioned on here, wondering Why is not Beck, Gunner, Puglisi, and the preferred walk on Ginn sufficient. Mike Bobo has touted Gunner so I wouldn’t be prone to think something’s wrong with Gunner in the direct sense.
And myself and quite a few others here are thinking that Ginn could handle being the 4th guy and handle the practices assigned to him. Ginn has a pretty impressive in my view HS record of his own. Anything offensive in those comments ? 😂
The NCAA caused this mess. Don't expect anything to be done to rectify it. If anything the NCAA will pile more lunacy onto an already out of control 4 alarm fire.
Yep. And you’ve Always (as has BigDawg61) treated me with respect and dignity which I Deeply respect. I’ve Never tried to portray myself as the sharpest knife in the drawer about football. In fact there’s been Many times that I’ve clearly stated that even though I’ve been a long time fan, I’m always learning. H e l l I never played organized football, to busy working from a Very early age trying to help support our family.
There’s TONS of stuff I Don’t Know about football and many other subjects. I Really admire Confidence, both You & BigDawg61 have that and I have Allot of respect for Yall and allot of other fans here. But I despise arrogance. I’ve never met any people who have much appreciation for a Smart Azz.
I Try to be as cordial and respectful to others on here as I know to be. But something crawled into the person being referenced bloomers and He started out the gate all snarky at me and others. Maybe he’s having a bad day. I Know he’s always fancied himself to be a football guru, always seems to be talking Down to people rather than Across.
I tried to ignore that till today. But I guess he wrongly thought he could just treat me any ole way he wanted and I’d be obliged to take it. Wrong !! I’m as friendly as people will let me be, but way to old to let people just crap on me. Nope. Don’t Need it. Don’t want it.
But I’m very Thankful for Yours and BigDawg61s as well as allot of other fans friendship on here. I come here to Escape the pressures of life, to have fun with like minded people. I don’t come here to be treated like I’m inferior. Always good hearing from you !! Go Dawgs !!
Objective? Objective, in what way. You are wrong about virtually everything. If ignorance is objectivity....you got it on all of us. Lol
Btw....your Boy...Nick Saban, just retired. What WILL you do, now? 🤣
