re: If Fields is ruled eligible...

His dad felt like the starting job at Georgia should have been gifted to him , otherwise what were allllllllll the meetings with Daddy about. Daddy wanted him to start and start now....the race card tactic is tragic, to get instant eligibility. He may prove to not be able to beat out the other QB talent at Ohio State.....either way like a Georgia fan poster said on another thread when looking at all the meetings from Daddy and meddling from Daddy and now this I feel as if Georgia is dodging a bullet with this kid.

I don't believe this. Today in college football you can no longer have a high profile backup and expect him to not run your full offense. Saban and Dabo figured this out. All Kirby had to do was have Fields do more than hand the ball off and run designed QB runs. Kirby mishandled the situation because he did not want a QB controversy and it looks like Kirby wasn't concerned with having the best QB playing. And, I say it looks like Kirby wasn't concerned about having the best QB playing because if both QBs are running the full offense it will become clear who is better. Kirby simply didn't adjust to the new reality in college football.
