You mean losing his 5th year? Good luck with that.

QB is one of the few positions where leaving early isn’t as much of a guarantee of success as othe positions. Also, do you think he’ll be a top rounder early if his first two seasons are spend on mop up duty or with limited reps? He has to beat Fromm to have a chance IMO.

I don’t disagree with any of this. My point all along is how does it benefit Fields or UGA to run him out there for reps if we have a championship caliber starter? If Fromm goes down I don’t know that Radom series or mop up duty changes Fields performance under pressure.

This is all academic of course. I just want spacing between two potentially great players so we get the best out of both and they both get the maximum time allowed to be UGA QB’s.
