Why don't you look at the QB posistion while VD was HC and then get back to me.

Compare Belue's stats to other Georgia quarterbacks from 1978 (when Dooley scrapped the veer) to 1990 and Buck is head and shoulders above every other quarterback from that era. In 1981, Belue was 2nd in country in pass efficiency rating, behind only Jim McMahon. Belue was 5th in the country in yards per attempt and completion percentage.

As the years have gone by, Belue has become criminally underrated because of his stats against Notre Dame and the view that all he did was hand it to Herschel. You put Belue on that 1982 team and Georgia probably has another national title. I wouldn't rank Belue ahead of Zeier, Greene, or Murray; but I do think he would be a successful quarterback at Georgia in today's offense.

Eric Zeier and Wayne McDuffie came along in 1991 and forever changed the role of QBs at Georgia. (and the SEC)
