Maybe what's missing from this discussion is that Fromm is a superstar. He drove out the all-world, best of all time Eason as a true freshman. (Remember Eason?) Now he has driven out the all-world, best of all time Fields.

Maybe Fromm is just really good and these guys realize that they aren't even in the ballpark of beating him out. And they don't want to sit around and wait for him to leave, especially since that's two more seasons at minimum.

Of course, even best case scenario for Fields, he still doesn't get to start until 2020. Unless he drops a division...which probably wouldn't be the best move from a development standpoint.

Does this news affect the John rhys plumlee blue shirt idea? This will put Fromm as our only scholarship QB.

Dude he can't make reads for shite.


Give me a break with this shite. The guy was only allowed to pass in games against cupcakes and he did that very well. He was never given the opportunity to run with the full offense or throw the ball in any meaningful game. Hell, most of the time he was never used more than one play at a time to get us a first down.

The truth is Smart had no plan for developing Fields, and misused him badly. He even admitted he had no plan.

Idk absolute best case he would have blown the coaches away in spring and fall camp and Fromm and fields split equally starting in 19. In those split snaps, he looks better and starts by October.

I just don’t think he was that close to starting like every one thought he was. There is no evidence to support he was close to supplanting Fromm. He was thrown in every now and then as a wrinkle, no more.

In the future, this is why you space out highly rated QBs at least two years apart.

Then next time the superstar should lead his team to some points in the fourth quarter. If he did that, we would have two SEC titles and a natty. Fromm is a very good QB, but superstar is a bit much.

Who gives a shite. We got Fromm and others coming in. If he wants to bail, good for him. Welcome to the age of Mellinial football players. He probably plays fortnite all the time when he’s not at practice. Don’t want to be here, you ain’t a DGD and we don’t care. We are building for the future, not for 1 player that sprouted as a senior in HS and shite the bed when he came in

Apparently you just assign recruits years when you sign them, Kirby just didn’t have the foresight to set JF to 19. Lol

I hope this Plumlee blueshirt isn't true or we could have serious QB depth issue next year.

I can promise you that this coming out right at this time is an attempt to derail our class. Whether it be by Fields or another coach that slipped it out to media. It didn't just come from Kirby Smart or his staff.


I think the Fields family leaked the transfer, 2 days before eNSD. This is a middle finger to Kirby. Haselwood looks like a long shot now. No telling how this impacts Trey Sanders.

We’re a Fromm injury away from being SCAR. Scary shite

He had opportunities to throw. He tucked and ran on most of them. If the rumor is true, I wish the kid the best. Don't keep him around if his heart isn't here.

I’m sorry but Fields was a bust like Eason. Two 5 star busts.

Everyone thought coming into this year that Fields and Lawrence were pretty equal. If Fields were anything like Lawrence it would be obvious. I’m not saying he had to win the job but he sure as hell didn’t do what a #1 or #2 QB should be capable of.

The dude owned Bama in the SECCG, it wasn't his fault we lost. Fields is great but he seems to target one player and then runs if said receiver is covered. He just didn't really have a chance unless Fromm got hurt

Blue shirt isn’t a big deal. He just comes in a couple of months later because he’s using a 2020 scholarship rather than a 2019. He says they emphasized that it was business and not them thinking any less of him.

Oh good Lord what a bunch of bullsh*t. The guy was never given a chance to do shite. Now you want to shite on the kid for looking out for his own interests by spouting a bunch of bullshite. Lawrence wouldn't have beaten Fromm out either. Lawrence also plays in a shite conference as well. Lawrence was give a legitimate chance. Fields was wasted.

He wasn’t given a chance because his instinct is to fricking run every time his first read isn’t open.
