re: QBs down to two.

I'm right there with you. It reminds me of something that I read in high school:

If risk-taking were guaranteed, they'd call it 'sure-thing-taking'.

ETA - I can't find the source quote for that, so maybe I made it up. If so, then I'll claim it as my own.

Here is my thought process on the QBs...

First off the coaches are watching every practice, multiple times, and know these kids better than we ever will. If they think starting Eason gives us a better chance to win, then we have to trust their judgment. There is a reason they are coaching UGA...cause they generally know what the frick they are doing.

Secondly, this is a whole new offensive system. While I do believe Brice and Greyson are more seasoned, I don't for a second believe either one of them know the playbook significantly better than Eason. They have experience...and I give that that is huge, but does it trump ability and playbook knowledge?

Finally, Chubb. I say that because with a healthy Chubb, Eason will not have to win the game by himself. Mix that in with a supposed focused OLine and you have a great little starting point for a QB with no experience.

I trust our coaches because they wanna win the fricking game. Some of you on here act like they are sabotaging their own career.

If you wanna see that...go watch the Bauta experiment last year at Florida. That was literally the game that got Richt fired.

Lets put it this way, if there was anyone left to defend Richt after the Bama blowout and Tenn Comeback, they were def gone by the end of the Florida game.

Looking back on it, I can't think of another explanation other than that Richt liked the kid and wanted to give him a start cause he knew he was gone. Strategic aspects aside, they then didn't tactically take advantage of his legs. Again, looking back, it was one of the most bizarre and dissapointing things I have ever seen in UGA football.

An excerpt from the upcoming book, “The Year Butts-Mehre Burned - An Insider Reflects”....

People will never believe it, but Richt didn’t know he was going to be fired until the day he was actually fired.

Yes, the GA/FL game was a bizarre turning point and bizarre occurences will always breed conspiracy theories to try and explain them, but most times the real explanation is an obvious one hidden in plain sight.

There was no doubling down to try and save a job or anything like that. The 2015 Georgia florida game was simply the day when mark Richt gloriously lived out his destiny. As had been written in the meme.

Mark Richt finally lost control.

He lost control by breaking the golden rule of leadership and he let the outside noise from the fans and the internal noise from his disfunctional coordinator situation affect his own vision and judgement. He panicked under the weight of the noise and resorted to a radical mongotard move to try and appease ALL of them. At once. To make it go away.

And it blew up in his expressionless face.

The story begins on the Sunday after the 9-6 near meltdown against the miZzzouri SJW’s. After watching the film of Lambert’s fourth gimmie pick being dropped by a shocked defender, Richt went outside with Squat to have a smoke and Pruitt was out there waiting on them drunk holding a crowbar. For a minute, Richt thought…….

Lambert's bag of experience is near full. Eason's is empty. WHy are you people so stupid? holy shite.

You are still a few weeks behind. That reasoning was used for fall camp reps, but It's now game week Jefferson. Do you really not understand the diff as it looks? These are game reps. The starter gets the reps. You don't give most of the game reps to the backup Qb.

I agree with you. Starting Bauta to try something different was fine with me, really. What pissed me off was that they didn't use his legs to make something happen. They stuck a running QB with no real game experience out there and tried to make him pick apart a good defense with his arm. I was shocked at what I saw.

I was a once proud Richt supporter and I finally had no desire to defend the man.

Regardless of what some people say, CKS will have this year to show what his teams are capable of. He won't need to win a National Championship or even the East. He just needs to show he can recruit talent and get them better each week. Starting Eason is a no-brainer as long as he continues to improve.

You don't know who is getting what reps. Other than the 15 minutes the media gets to watch or whatever "insider" info the vacuum cleaner salesmen are feeding you. FOr a fee.

Meanwhile, for those choosing not to live in disney world, there's a press confrence begining in 5 minutes. I doubt Kirby will announce a starter, either way. But, this would be the perfect opportunity for him to do it if he was so inclined. Lambert got announced starter, the monday before last years opener. Stay tuned.

No QB announcement today.
