quote:

Chris Smith
Started all 15 games.

Kearis Jackson - played in all 15 games.

George Pickens - played in the SECCG 5 weeks prior and stated he was 100 pct.

Tate Ratlede - one of 2 actual starters who was injured.

Tykee Smith - injured early but came back and played the rest of the year.

Jalen Kimber - projected as 3rd string corner on first 2021 depth chart.

Arian Smith - didn't start in the 1st game when he was healthy and had 1 catch for 6 yards against Clemson.

Blaylock - top recruit? Really?

Adam Anderson - wasn't a Georgia player in Dec or Jan.

You had 2 starters out with injuries for the NC game. The other besides Ratledge was Ringo, who you didn't mention. You are using backups, players who had played very little even when healthy, recruiting rankings, while I'm talking about starters who actually started. Kirby said you were the healthiest you had been in a long time while Bama was the unhealthiest it had been at any other time. When the teams were fairly even in injuries Bama won convincingly. When the injury situation was heavily in Georgia's favor you won in the last minute.

Pretty much wrong on almost everything here. But I'll throw a few out:

"Blaylock - top recruit? Really?" - Yeah. He was the #36 overall recruit and #5 WR when he signed at UGA. That's a top recruit by most metrics.

"Tykee Smith - injured early but came back and played the rest of the year." - You're confusing seasons. That's what Tykee Smith did this past season. In 2021 he played in one game.

"Kearis Jackson - played in all 15 games." As a kick returner mostly due to injury. He was almost back to full strength as a WR at the Florida game but then got hurt again. Had 6 catches (9 targets) in the final 7 games of the year. I'm not sure if you understand what "playing injured" means or not. Apparently not.

"George Pickens - played in the SECCG 5 weeks prior and stated he was 100 pct." First of all, he said at the combine the first time he was working out fully healthy was at the combine. Second of all... I'm talking about players injured for the SECCG. He played the last 4 games of 2021 and had 5 catches. You can think that's him at full strength if you like, but you're an imbecile if you believe that.

"Adam Anderson - wasn't a Georgia player in Dec or Jan." Sure he was. He was suspended, he was not dismissed from the team.

"Chris Smith - Started all 15 games." No. He started 11 games in 2021 for UGA. Played in 12. He did play against Bama in the SECCG, but didnt' start because he was recovering from injury that had him miss games against Charleston Southern and Georgia Tech. Dan Jackson (a walk-on) started and took 2/3rds of the snaps at free safety for UGA. Do you think Bama WR's getting to face a walk on starting FS instead of a guy who's projected to go around the 3rd round in the NFL draft might have made it easier for Bama to throw the ball int he SECCG? Or do absences like that only matter when Bama has them?

"Arian Smith - didn't start in the 1st game when he was healthy and had 1 catch for 6 yards against Clemson." Yes, he did start against Clemson. Kearis Jackson was unable to start due to injury so Arian Smith replaced him. As for his stats against Clemson, UGA didn't have a WR with more than 2 catches in that game at all. A RB and TE had 4 and 6. Their leading WR had 1 catch for 21 yards (Jaylen Johnson, a walk on who had 3 catches on the season and was only playing in that game due to UGA injury woes). Brock Bowers was the only offensive threat working for UGA in that game, Clemson had a great defense. By far the best UGA played in 2021.

"You had 2 starters out with injuries for the NC game. The other besides Ratledge was Ringo, who you didn't mention. "

THe above shows what an idiot you are and why you should stop posting. Ringo was injured for the NC game? Then who the hell was this guy:
