His 1984 Pickup, DGD Family, how the Smart and Bobo families were woven into his life's fabric and an overall good dude.

Like Kirby said, this kid's a winner. I don't know how far we'll go in the playoffs, but we'll get 110% from Gunner.

On the Thorstin/Ratledge “Mullets on the Mic” podcast, Tate fully backs Stockton. Fully. Talks about ok being a leader and electric and can make all the throws.

I can live with that, it's house money, limit turnovers, play 11x11 Single wing style football with modern concepts. Physicality turned up to 11.

That's quite the contrast described in the first paragraph of the story.

Great read. I’m so excited for Season Three of UGAQB1

Season 1 was epic with Fromm usurping Eason, but the ending sucked. It was the original though.

Season 2 was the greatest of all time and had everything imaginable with walkon Stet against the world going back to back. Will be hard to ever top that cast and the writing was impeccable where half the fanbase were irredeemable counts about it right up to the finale

But Season 3 looks like itll be a little different. It has the same vibe of every season where the local humble hard working Georgia boy usurps an entitled carpetbagger from out of state (which is the bread and butter of UGAQB1), but this season its been updated with lamborguinies vs 300,000 mile F150s and etc for a modern nil era twist. Also, the timing of the plot twist perfectly goes with the new 12 team playoff format. As our hero enters the stage right as it begins. UGAQB1 has some of the best writing ive seen since Better Call Saul. Cant wait to see this one play out

Furthermore, he has a sister named Georgia, and one time he asked his parents for cows for Christmas.

It's like a Hollywood parody biopic about a UGA quarterback.

Podcasters keep saying he has a long slow delivery, but I don't see it.

It makes me feel a little QB dumb because to me it looks like the ball comes out fast. I have seen a few freeze the frame when he is really wound back and saying this is his long delivery, but on other throughs he zings it on the run and I don't think there is much time for defenses to react.

I guess I just really don't know football and should stick to watching the game and just enjoying the results.

It is not when the ball leaves his hand. It is when he starts the throwing process that they are talking about

100% agreed.

He has a long windup when he is in the pocket. He is able to create space for his throw and his windup on the move. Hopefully more rollouts and 1/2 field reads from Bobo.

I think you are seeing him wanting to make double sure. Once his confidence gets up he will grip it and rip it, like he did in HS. Either way, it's a short wind up above his shoulder not the dip that Tebow had.

Maybe, some pump fakes? Throwing on the run will also be beneficial.

This… it will get better and will need to in a hurry. His motion kinda reminds me of former SC QB Dylan Thompson. As many have suggested, zone reads, slants, & roll outs will be on the menu.

It continues. He says "heck" a lot during press conferences and stops just shy of "aw shucks."

The McElroy photo-bomb at 8:30 is great.

I wish I could hear the reporters questions.

Another highlight, at 42:40 the offensive line crashes the party and pretends to be reporters, fricking with him.
