I will definitely break something. Georgia would go from "meh, might win the east and we'll see them in FL in January" to "holy shite, they have Golson and a Chubbdozer"

There is absolutely no fathomable way anyone player on the current roster would beat our Golson. None.

Highly disagree. He might could take the job, but it's considerably more than 'fathomable' that he wouldn't.

He often struggled with ND's schedule. Talented kid, but not All World. Neither are Ramsey, Fauta and Park, but that doesn't mean Golson could waltz in here and start without a serious fight, especially from Ramsey.

Whatever anyone on here thinks of Ramsey, I think our staff (ie, CMR) has had him as the 'heir apparent' for two years now. That has not changed during the Spring and I think they like the potential Ramsey's arm gives the offense. It's Ramsey's job, Fauta is way behind in second, and Golson is by no means guaranteed shite if he comes here.

So he will NOT be coming to UGA.

JMVHO, though.

He has two years of experience and has played in a national title game. He would easily get the nod over Ramsey unless Richt goes by loyalty and doesn't offer him because he wants Ramey or doesn't want to deal with his academic problems. If he does decide to go to Georgia, he will start and I'm sure that'll be an agreement with whatever team gets him.

It is the best case scenario. Evil Richt...it's time.


CMR has a choice....don't entertain Golson and give the job to his already appointed heir, Ramsey........or use this opportunity to set Eason up as a three-year starter (before opting into the draft).

I like the idea of the latter.

I think you're right about that part in bold, which is why he will avoid us like the plague.

I know everyone on here is panicking over the QB situation right now, but I don't think our staff is. And Golson is not the magic bullet at QB, imvho, that some of you think he is.

I would love to get him, but I don't think our coaching staff would. I think they like what we have, God help us all.

I can't imagine Schotty or Richt are confident in our QB situation. And I would hardly say they are fully behind Ramsey. And I simply do not like what I see in Brice.

If Golson comes here he is without question the starter.

Our QB situation isn't what it is based on lack of talent. Every QB on scholarship for UGA is going to have talent. But EG has actually played in big games on a big stage, in games that count. Nobody else for us has. I'm not saying we shoudl hand it to him simply because of that, but it's probably a 99% lock he'd be our starter if he came here.

If that's the case then eason the super heir apparent. If we really thought Ramsey was our QB of the future, we would have worked him into games more than we have. Stafford started getting minutes his first game as a TFr. Shockely was given scripted series his freshman and sophomore years. If we thoguth THAT highly of ramsey, he wouldn't have been relegated to simply mopup duty behind Mason.

Golson= Duel threat with 2 years experience. Led team to the BCSCG and undefeated reg season. Turnover issues

Ramsey= Hardly any game experience running Pro style O (ran TO in high school) and has looked very average in the little game action he's seen. Turnover issues


Give me Golson. Proven QB who knows what it takes to get to the Title game

And they don't have to have the awkward moment of starting Eason over the returning starter or getting criticized to hell if they don't start Eason. I'd feel for the guys on our team if he transfers here and starts but it makes a much better team IMO

I won't. They go to Georgia, slay gals downtown, and will all get rings when Golson carries them to a title.

Why? The best player at each position shoudl start, period. For so long people have lamented the fact that Richt apparently "plays favorites" and will give the nod to upperclassmen simply because they're older, yet we could have a guy with 2 seasons worth of big time football experience and a national title game under his belt, and we should give it to someone else just because he hasn't been a dawg from the start?

I appreciate everyone on the team, from teh top down, but if EG is the best QB on the roster (which he would be), he should start. Period.

If Golson were to come in and only have fall practice to learn Schotty's system I just don't see it working. Based on things Ramsey said in the Spring, learning the new offense isn't easy. Introducing some interloper at QB would likely throw a monkey wrench into the works and could be disastrous.

Richt is probably way to conservative to try to make Golson work. Steve Spurrier is more of a gambler and he might choose to start Golson. If Golson starts for USCe I expect Georgia to do the same thing to him that Bama did in the NCG.

On the flip side, they lost a good bit of those. I think he went something like 8-5 his senior year. His junior year he was ineligible because of academics. Plus, the fact he only has one year is not the plus some think it is. I think our staff expects Ramsey to be the QB for the next two years with Eason redshirting his freshman season.

Shockely was given scripted series his freshman and sophomore years. If we thoguth THAT highly of ramsey, he wouldn't have been relegated to simply mopup duty behind Mason.

But, with the exception of Shockley, that's kind of CMR's model. The backup QB rarely plays. Stafford started getting minutes because we didn't really have another QB on the roster at the time (I mean, JTIII?). And Stafford didn't exactly set the world on fire when they brought him in, either. If we end up having a lost season, then sure, the backup QB may see some action, but that's the only way it's happened in the past, with the exception of Shock.

And, again, I think they expect Eason to redshirt and Ramsey to be a two year starter, something Golson can't give them.

Oh I agree and if Golson comes he should absolutely start unless he's just inept at learning the offense this quickly.

Reason I would feel for them is because they made their decision to come here by knowing the job could likely be theirs when Murray and Mason graduated, worked hard and did their time on the bench, and then they get thrown a curveball after G-Day that they could absolutely not see coming and basically lose the job by default.

I mean I put wanting to win over their feelings but you have to admit it would suck to be in their position.

I really wish this thread wasn't started, because now I'm thinking about this whole season with EG at QB and how awesome it'll be. Then I'm just going to get pissed off when he doesnt' come here.


imma shamed... ... Never seen a hint of this kinda roster maneuvering at UGA, thought it was awesome that we were even mentioned, real or not. It'd be one hella fall if it happened...

Wins are not guaranteed no matter who starts. If Richt were to start Golson and it goes badly the result could blow up the whole program for years.

Right now I'm willing to lay odds that Golson never starts for UGA.

He wouldn't have to go to school... He'd be here for the fall qtr. as a Grad student & have to take 6hrs. of P.E. in the fall to be eligible for the post season... Newton part deaux...

Bring him on...
