I disagree if Lambert plays well yall will be in it for sure.

He's played well in one game his entire college career, and it was against a terrible football team. I don't love those odds.

Yeah I have no idea why people think they have to flame so they get approval from complete strangers. I just wanna talk football.


I agree sometimes I've watched lambert and thought is this guy really a SEC QB? Then I look at his stats and they aren't that bad he doesn't throw a lot of picks and yall have some serious talent at RB. Yall can make this work for a while. Then bring out Eason when he's ready. I just think it might be longer than 5 games. Wouldn't it be exciting if people thought they had UGA figured out but then they had a change at QB and their identity of their ofense completely changed. I think UGA will be a lot better of a team by game 8.

that's like the one positive he has going for him, and I KNOW you can say this about literally any QB ever, but there were at least 5 to 6 balls that he threw directly into a defender's hands and was dropped.

Also on teh INT angle, I don't think anyone would call Hutson Mason ('14) some badass AA qb, but he was also looked at as a safe guy who wouldn't turn it over and he only threw 4 interceptions that year compared to lambert's 2. However, he also threw for 21 touchdowns compared to 12. Not turning it over is great but you HAVE to pose SOME kind of passing threat, which GL does not.

You're just not understanding I don't think. We don't have a chance to beat ole miss or tennessee with GL at QB. We will automatically lose those games with GL. With eason, we very well may lose alos but at LEAST we will have a potential downfield threat and keep the defense honest. With GL all teams have to do is put 8 or 9 in the box and make us throw, which we can't with him.

Me too, because Eason will have his feet under him at that point.

Look at last year. You'd think after his record shattering performance against SC he would get hot, but look at my post above. We were skating by some BAD teams late in the season. We went ot overtime with georgia southern for fricks sake, which is something that no UGA team ever or forever from now should ever do.

Name one true freshman that has done an above average job at quarterback in the SEC.



I imagine the list is short on true freshman who have started at qb in the sec to begin with.

I don't think being a true freshman is as much of a handicap as it was before. The elite QBs attend camps with pro coaches for a couple of years before college. Army All American and UnderArmour type games as well as state all star type games all give more experiences than players got just a few years ago. They are better prepared today for D1 football.

In Eason's case, He was able to enter school for January classes and participate in spring practice. All under new coaches with a new offensive scheme. There is no real advantage for any of the QBs.

My feeling is that UGA has the talent to average over thirty points a game. We should be strong at TE and RB positions. Looks like Pittman is putting together a descent O-line. We have some guys with speed that can catch the ball and run. In short, QB
is not the key to this years team success. Health and depth of the interior defensive line and coaching decisions will make the difference.

I've gone back and forth on this one. Realistically, unless he just WOWs going into the fall during the practices and scrimmages, the best plan is to probably *start* Greyson Lambert with at least 2-3 planned/scripted possessions for Eason in the first half. At that point, the game should largely dictate what we do, and Eason (and Lambert) should be told ahead of time that being removed from the game isn't anything to do with his play, simply ebbs and flows and game management from the coaching staff. Nicholls State should be an Eason start, simply to get the jitters of "first start" out of the way, with Lambert probably rotating in for a few possessions as well. At that point, you've got a small sample size, but at least real in-game film to dissect and make the call on what you're doing going into the 3 game stretch of Mizzou, Ole Miss, and UT. I'd prefer to see Eason, but again, on field results should dictate - all else being pretty even, go with the future.

I think we'd all like to see Eason create such a gap between them that they have no choice to start him, but I don't see that as being likely. I'm fine with a more fluid QB position, officially naming Lambert starter for opening early but with a clear expectation that there could be some rotation. Unexpected bonus might be that the legit competition from Eason causes Lambert to actually step his game up.

He had his share of problems last year, but the OL did not help him much either, to the point that eventually he looked shell shocked and was looking to dump it off quick more often than not. Use of TE, a hopefully improved OL under Pittman, and I could see Lambert having a modicum of improvement.

Who is the go to WR or do you have more than one?

John Bond

Lol. I think Bond had us down like 23-7 or something in the 4th quarter of the 1983 Hand of God game. State had 3 TOs in the 4th quarter, including a Bond interception and a Bond fumble that was a Scoop and Score.

Fond memories. Fond memories.

If your gonna get your shots vs. UGA, you gotta do it this year.

They could have the most talented team in the country next year.
