Hardman has 2300 career receiving yards in 7 NFL seasons, including 0 this year. Kansas City has cut him 3 times and he has also been cut by the Jets. Hardman has been an "NFL veteran minimum" guy since 2022. The Bills are using him solely as a return specialist despite having no reliable WRs. This for a healthy 27 year old who should be in his prime as a WR.
I don't disagree with your statement about the quarterbacks. However, I found that using Hardman, who is still in the league after
157 years, as an example of a "bust" is bizarre.Not sure I'd call Hardman a "bust". After all he has been in the NFL for 7 seasons. But his 178 receptions and 16 TD's are 2 seasons worth of production from a top NFL WR. Possibly he might have had a more impactful NFL career had he stayed at DB where he had started his UGA career.
Yea, I said 15 years by mistake (math error), but you are correct. I doubt he would say he has been a top NFL WR either, but he has had a very successful career, and I doubt there are very many who can put on 3 World Championship rings! Definitely not "bust".
I, for one, only care about UGA football winning and not about how former players perform in the NFL. I wish the best for their futures, but post UGA is on them. UGA put them in a position to thrive and hopefully become good men.
Seems oddly Kiffin-like… interesting drama parallels, all in one week :/
Agreed on your last point. Like, should Kirby go burn down Lea's garage or something?
Agree. In fact, I’m surprised Curtis didn’t just get down to Oxford and get on that plane to Baton Rouge with the other liar.
I stated last week that Curtis wasn't coming to UGA unless Kirby could basically assure him he would be his guy in 2027 and it would be his job to lose. I also said that I couldn't see Kirby doing such a thing, so I concluded we wouldn't sign him. I understand Kirby and culture, and I also understand the number 1 QB and overall number 1 recruit in the nation not wanting to wait 2-3 years to set foot on the field for a meaningful snap with nothing promised other than an opportunity to compete, when they can earn as much , if not more , playing for the local college and being assured he' willsee the field sooner , rather than later.
Now how he went about it is another thing. I can't prove it but something in me wants to believe that Curtis was holding out so long hoping for a verbal commitment from Bobo, that he would be the starter after sitting for 1 year.
I'm hoping that the QB commitment we have from the number 1 QB for 2028(does he reclassify for 2017) being sold on UGA for quite some time keeps his commitment. Maybe he just loves UGA so much he's willing to take the just come and compete line, that the absolute best don't want to hear.
