No way stidham is ready for the pros. He needs another year. I’ll never second guess an RB tho. If they want to come out they should. They are both good enough they just need to get healthy.

Only one of those statements I question is Pettway, unless the rumors of him having serious off-field issues is accurate.

He essentially hasn't played since he pulled up lame against Vandy in 2016. Yeah, I know he got every single carry against Mercer, but he was a shell of his former self in that game. If he declares he'll end up UFA.

Stidham should come back because he's still got work to do. KJ will probably go despite the competition in the draft.

Maybe I'm crazy, but Stidham strikes me as the kind that will be here until his eligibility is exhausted.

He can learn, right? I'm holding out hope Gus starts rotating RBs.

KP has had injury issues and a RB of his style has a shorter shelf life than most. Add in what seems to be behavioral issues and I would be shocked if he chose to come back.

He should come back, I totally agree. I would advise him to come back. But I totally expect him to leave.

Barrett Sallee said this morning on Jox that Stidham has said he was staying. Said he's not sure about Pettway or Johnson but he thinks Pettway goes.

I think that improved drastically this year. He has rarely taken huge hits nor has he administered them. He has been running very patiently and avoiding excessive contact with his cutting ability and stalls.

The best recruiting job Smart did last year was convincing Chubb and Michel to stay for their Sr years... tubbs did the same thing with Cadillac and Brown.

It would be huge for the program... but I would totally understand if they left.

KJ has built a lot of credibility this season with NFL scouts. If he goes in he will be drafted. Maybe not high but get in the league and build up his earning potential. With his history of injuries I would move on if I were him. He deserves it and me wanting him to stay is out of selfish wants for the 2018 team.

KJ is a top notch person and won me over with his play and doing what he could to help the team in ATL. Dude has courage and a huge heart.

Stidham stays.

KJ and KP will listen to the draft advisory council and maybe move on. I hope Gus makes the hard sell to bring them back to "win it all" next year and they could make it happen.

Stidham isn't leaving. I know this for sure. The other 2 might but Stidham will be here next year.

Stidham can really help himself by staying more than KJ. KP has more to prove, but I can see him going for it and not take a chance on injury.

Stidham made great progress and should be one of the top prospects at QB next year.

He could play himself into the first round draft of 2019.

He really needs to work on pocket presence. That would help his draft status a lot.

"Pocket presence" isn't going to be learned in a system like ours.

He probably stays because the Georgia game was ugly. I think had we not blown it and continued rolling into the playoffs there was a real threat of him leaving early because he would have carried among the most momentum of any QB in this class, but that is a moot point now.

The days of NFL teams waiting for picture-perfect QB's is over. The kid from Wyoming (Allen?) looked like crap all year and he's still a 1st round lock on talent alone. All of the QB's in this class have flaws. Stidham has several qualities that make him a very enticing NFL prospect, notably his accuracy, decision making and "intangibles" on top of his obvious arm talent and mobility (which he was showing more as the season progressed).

I would think he's the most likely to leave.
