This is what happens when you listen to the media and fan base.

Bro EJ would have 3 picks already against this D. AR should have gotten more playing time earlier in the year, instead Mullen sets him up for failure with limited reps against the best defense in the nation.

What did you expect? Giving him his first start against the best defense in the country isn’t exactly setting him up for success. Especially when he’s hardly played until the second half two weeks ago.

That said, the mistakes he’s making are bad. You can’t stare down receivers and expect bad things not to happen.

The point is, whether we want to admit it or not, we asked for this.

On the fumble, he had the ball pulled from his arms as he was falling

1st int was a tipped pass that was on target (great play by the defense)

2nd int was a jumped route (another great defensive play)


Jones was throwing interceptions straight to defenders

Both INT’s were on target. You still can’t stare down your receivers and expect bad things not to happen.

Yep. I didn’t care about starting him, but definitely wanted to give him more snaps to see what he could do.

Turns out, our QB room just isn’t that good, and Dan isn’t the whispering guru everyone wants him to be.

Yeah this is exactly what I wanted, and exactly what should've been done weeks ago.

And he decided to do it today against that awesome defense. Thats the whole point.

Hes a moron.

I was told AR was our only shot to win and it’s DMs job if he doesn’t start him..

Now it’s his job because he did?

Lol

You were told that by 1 guy on this board for this game, who completely embarrassed himself on the Scoreboard today.

Wanna know what I predicted this morning for Richardson's stats in the 1st half?

quote:

4/14 - 21 yards, 3 picks (1 pick 6).

Bloodbath.

Mullen should've did this weeks ago against Vanderbilt, even USF, when EVERYONE could see Emory was not it.

Yet Emory outplayed AR today vs the best D in the country. AR single handedly handed this game to UGA

AR is talented but he isn’t ready this season

Are we gonna give Emory props over scoring a garbage time touchdown that doesn't matter?

We really at that point? Okay, carry on

You think Kirby didn’t want that shutout ?

Please

Jones avg’d 2 more yards a carry and 4 more yards a pass. 71% vs 60%

EJ had limited minutes and had at least 2 throws that should have been picked off. AR is clearly the more talented QB but lacks the experience.

What about we give Georgia some credit for being really good on defense? This is the same shite as them not wanting to give us credit for last year and it is silly. A few plays here and there and it would have been a game, but that is how it goes sometimes.


I for one am glad Jordan Davis is graduating.

This whole QB discussion is a red herring. It doesn't matter who starts.

The D did a good job today, so kudos to TG for that. But that guy should have been fired last year. Dan should get off his arse about recruiting and demand more staff to compete with Alabama and Georgia. And he also needs to stop being a goddamned weirdo who takes his foot off the gas on weeks where he thinks he's playing a shitty team or when he just thinks a game *cough Oklahoma* doesn't matter.

I'll get my panties in a bunch over QBs when Dan fixes that shite.

We all knew that something like this was going to happen AR first real playing time against the best team he has played it was good for him to get his feet wet against the best competition. he had his ups and downs this happens and it's not like Mullen put him in the best situations with the play calling its almost like he wanted to just throw it around like toney and Grimes and Pitts were out there to make the QB look good.

But his upside will only climb the more he plays so if he really is the future then let him play make mistakes and grow Emory had 3 years and look at all the mistakes so all of our Remaining games are very winnable and Florida should finish the season 8-4 UscE is not good Missouri is not good so AR has the next 3 games to get better and then FSU.

I never expected Florida to win this game. So if Richardson isn't hurt and can play next week then let him go out there and play.

All of the excuses AR is getting is exactly why he shouldn’t be starting.

If EJ had a 3 min stretch like AR did ya’ll be ready to burn DMs house down.
It’s funny how when EJ plays bad, he sucks. When AR plays bad, it’s DMs fault lol

Me: He doesn’t know the playbook
Fans: FU, let him start!
3 n out:
Fans: Look at the weak arse playcalling from DM on that series
Me: Like I said, he doesn’t know the playbook, Ofcourse the plays he knows are the simpler ones. Why is this so hard?

I've crushed Mullen over the QB situation going back to Game 1. Like every freaking week. He's completely botched this.

When its coming from insiders that Richardson looked like the better QB in Spring and Fall camp, and you have a coach defending a guy making elementary mistakes in his 4th year of the program, and make negative comments towards a RS Freshman?

Yeah I get pissed off at the coach.
