Someone remind me, Did Richt ever have any DESIGNED runs for Shockley? I don't remember the offense working that way.


Probably not. None that i remember, anyway. he did not like his quarterbacks running the ball. He discouraged Murray from running. He was always afraid the QB would get hurt and you would be in trouble. Francois is a good example.

I think as UGA fans we have (unknowingly) become overly loyal to individual players and they become our point of pride, for whatever reason, and we hang our hearts on single players because we always knew (note the past tense) that the team/coaches would somehow let us down by derping a game (or 5) away each season.

This Fromm / Eason debate highlights the way that fans of the same team can rationalize and argue endlessly in circles about one player over another in almost any scenario imaginable. Hopefully, Kirby's system will pan out as he outlines/describes it and we as a fan base can just enjoy whoever trots out on the field, knowing there is another qualified guy right behind him on the bench ready to go no matter what happens.

I think our big QB debate is a sympton of our deep distrust of any real recruiting depth, young player preparedness, and overall coaching over the last 30+ years. We are looking for our "But Stafford was awesome arguments and points of pride" even though those teams didn't quite put it all together for the perfect season...we can still brag on individuals...

I am committed to the "G" - not Fromm or Eason. Hey, let 'em both sit behind Fields or whoever is next in line! I will become a fan of the individual when they are in the NFL or killin it in the real world!
