A-List begins and ends with D'Eriq King.

He's Heisman caliber, immediately eligible, makes all the throws, and he can move in and out of the pocket - exactly what this offense needs.

I hope he enters.

Would they really want to chance this? Imagine if something went wrong.

I disagree on making all the throws. King isn't Deshaun Watson airing the ball out. Give me Newman.

I have a friend in Athens that said two grad QBs are in town today. Anyone else hearing this?

On what planet?

He's a poor man's Jalen Hurts and that isn't getting it done.

Cmon now guys none of these guys are gonna be world beaters because if they were they wouldn't be in the transfer portal (Burrow being literally the perfect storm exception).

Give me the best available and lets roll with it. I just hop eit happens quick so we can get them on campus and going asap.

We need a QB with some mobility. The Oline will still be good but there will be a decline.

Jamie Newman looks pretty good. Kid has a cannon for an arm and is pretty accurate. Throwing motion and pocket presence looks good too.

6'4, 230 lbs.

Stats for 2019:

12 games, 220/361 (61%) for 2868 yards, 26 TD's, 11 ints, 180 att for 574 yards rushing, 6 TD's.

He's not a burner, but clearly he's mobile. I wish he was a bit more accurate, but I'm sure some of that is on sub-par receivers and OL too.


D'Eriq King's stats are nuts, but the kid is a shrimp at 5'11, 195. And he only played in 4 games this past season, did he get hurt?

Stats from full 2018 season:

11 games, 219/345 (63.5%) for 2982 yards, 36 TD's, 6 ints, 111 att for 674 yards rushing, 14 TD's.

So 50 TD's in 2018 is pretty incredible. Not sure what happened in 2019. But King is really fast and quick. Probably runs 4.4x, and has a great arm for his size.

However, he's not in the xfer portal, so probably moot.

King played 4 games and decided to take a redshirt year to reevaluate his options.

Jamie Newman is the best pocket passer available. He's very mobile, albeit not as mobile as D'Eriq King .

Newman looks like the best one out there. I want to see him playing for UGA next season

Would he even be eligible to play immediately if he did xfer?

There are lots of good options. Even a few that would improve us at the position next year.

BUT, it’s going to be Chase Brice, and it will suck, and the sooner we accept it, the easier it will be.

He isn’t in the portal because of the national championship game. I expect it will be done and announced on Tuesday, Jan 14.
