re: Anyone else think Richt is overrated as qb guru?

No from the thread tittle it sounds like he is not. He clearly is a QB guru so go back to Dawg run or zip it.

You are fricking stupid. So thread titles shouldn't be exaggerated to gain more hits? I did it and it worked out very well, probably to well.

Also if you actually read the 1st post of the thread, which is by me, I say Richt is a good qb coach, but I dont' think he is as good as some of my fellow DAWG fans make him out to be. Apparently by me saying this, some of the 'simpler' dawg fans believe that I said Richt sucks at coaching qbs. Just b/c I don't think Richt is the best qb coach or one of the top qb coaches in America, doesn't mean that I think Richt sucks at coaching qbs.

Guru = expert teacher on a particular subject, basically the best of the best. I do not think Rich fits this description as a qb coach, do I not have the freedom to ask if others what their opinion is on the subject?

And clearly you are one of the types that if someone complains about something in America, your response would be, "if you don't like America, you can leave". Very simplistic mindset.

Yeah I'm the alter....look who just joined this month. Fresh alter is altering.

So how does one pick and choose who coaches the qb now? Is it the qb coach or the actual coach? B/c Bobo was our qb coach. @ FSU Richt was qb coach. So Richt gets credit as a qb coach at FSU but then he gets credit as the head coach at UGA, trumping the qb coach Bobo?

I agree with you though, that when Richt already has a talented qb, he will get them to do well. With lower tier talent, they will have avg seasons.

Also would you guys say Eason is a can't miss college qb stud? Based on size which is ideal, arm strength which is elite, mechanics is great, release is very quick so elite, qb IQ is great. So regardless of who coached him, he still should do good no matter what school he went to as long as the oline game him some time? I think so, just like Stafford. Eason will be the top picked qb in the NFL draft or top 5 pick, if he doesn't get injured in college. I'm glad we have him and really believe he will get us a NC or two while here, but he will be used as an example of Richt developing qbs, when in fact Eason will be great no matter who is coaching him. Look at who Eason's coach is now and see that Eason is great in spite of the limited coaching ability compared to Richt or the NFL.

Finally a non troll reply.

I also think he is a good qb coach too, I've already said that. But by guru I mean the best of the best and I dont think Richt is in that category, which isn't a knock on Richt like a lot of 'simpler' uga fans think.

Also with Stafford, Richt didn't develop any touch or fix his mechanics while here at UGA, which are his big flaws.

Stafford coming out of HS was said to be the most ready and was claimed as a prototypical NFL qb. Well watching him play, you could see that. Eason is of the same mold but better considering his mechanics and touch are great w/ a very quick release. Eason should be the #1 pick or top 5 for sure baring injury. Honestly, he could probably go to GT and throw 150 passes a season and still go top 5. Thats how good he is

---

OK. Stafford and Eason had the opportunity to learn under any QB guru that they could and they chose UGA because the keggers were great and Richt was above average.

You've got it all figured out.

Look at the NFL drafting these guys just based of measurable. Eason has ELITE arm and height right now. He will gain teh weight, and his mechanics from footwork, vision, and release are very elite for high school. If he isn't that good why is all UGA fans anointing him as the starter when he arrives here?

Show me where I said Richt can't coach qbs? I've only said that if Richt is as good as YOU say he is, they why did Joe T, Cox and Mason not play better? Mason played avg, but should of thrown the ball down field more that what he did. The play calling for him were mostly designed short plays. Did you watch the games? You would imagine w/ Richts greatness that he could develop a better deep ball passer out of him. Nope he didn't.

Stafford also never developed good mechanics or touch w/ Richt. How does Richt get a pass on this and is completely ignored?

100.....

First, Joe Cox could make all of the reads and all of the throws. He accounted for 1 fewer TD than Stafford's best season. Cox's problem was what kills a lot of QBs. Clean pocket... All American. SEC DTs in his face and he crumbled into the worst case scenario. His good was very, very good. His bad was all too common the worst case scenario (fumble/TD, INT/TD, trying to throw the ball out of bounds to the sidelines and it gets picked off).

Mason did play better. He holds the school record for completion percentage. His offense holds the school record for points. You want him to throw downfield more when the 1 or 2 shots that we took per game didn't hit? Why don't you watch the 2008 UGA v UF game and tell me if we should have thrown downfield more often. You throw downfield for one of two reasons. 1) Keep the defense honest... and the one or two times for Mason worked there. 2) You can't score without some lucky deep throws. We did that with Murray sometimes when the offense had stalled. Some games it worked and some games it didn't (UGA v Mizzou 2013).

Stafford was 20 years old. He played his perfect game in his last game (UGA v Michigan State bowl game). He showed his maturity and development just in time to leave for the NFL. Prior to that game, most of the UGA big games against good/great opponents were built off of the defense and the running game.
You're complaining that Richt couldn't teach a 19 year old to play like an NFL pro. Well... he did it for a 20 year old about 2 months before his 21st birthday. Before UGA had a chance to see the fruits of the development, he gone.
