His dad felt like the starting job at Georgia should have been gifted to him , otherwise what were allllllllll the meetings with Daddy about. Daddy wanted him to start and start now....the race card tactic is tragic, to get instant eligibility. He may prove to not be able to beat out the other QB talent at Ohio State.....either way like a Georgia fan poster said on another thread when looking at all the meetings from Daddy and meddling from Daddy and now this I feel as if Georgia is dodging a bullet with this kid.
I don't believe this. Today in college football you can no longer have a high profile backup and expect him to not run your full offense. Saban and Dabo figured this out. All Kirby had to do was have Fields do more than hand the ball off and run designed QB runs. Kirby mishandled the situation because he did not want a QB controversy and it looks like Kirby wasn't concerned with having the best QB playing. And, I say it looks like Kirby wasn't concerned about having the best QB playing because if both QBs are running the full offense it will become clear who is better. Kirby simply didn't adjust to the new reality in college football.

A backup is just a backup....he is not entitled to anything. Practice throughout the season and competition in preseason aka more practice dictated that Fromm would remain as the starter and Fields would be the backup. If he had established himself or performed better he would have been the starter. It does not matter how high profile a recruit you are you are not entitled anything .....to think otherwise is ludicrous. I believe that he is a prima Donna and his daddy was meddling on overdrive most teams backups don’t see the field , high profile or not, the country is littered with 4 or 5 star recruits on the bench that haven’t earned playing time yet. Alabama and Clemson are rare and unique situations the other 99% have their backs ups not see the field unless injury or mop up duty. This kid and his dad feel was entitled to the job without earning it, if he had earned it he would have been on the field as the starter. Kirby I believe was trying to keep him and daddy happy by allowing him spot duty here and there, but he wasn’t ready to run the full offense more than likely and even if he was he more than likely had not proved he could run it more efficiently and effectively than Fromm. Seems you do not understand how football works or just believe in entitlement

Too much shade is being thrown Kirby's way on this situation. Fields thought he could beat out Fromm. Kirby isn't going to turn down the #1 recruit in the country because he already has a starter. Maybe he thought he could juggle a Hurts Tua scenario. But it's clear Kirby had to play the kid. He wasn't going to sit for a red shirt. Also, I don't think the kid is good enough to handle the playbook. Dude had plenty of snaps all year. It's unfortunate, but big time QB recruits expect to be Tua, Jalen or Fromm. If they don't progress, they blame the staff and bail. Fields could have stayed with his commitment. I mean, it's no secret what type of offense Georgia runs. He chose to go there because he's blown out on his own hype. Why go to Georgia in the first place? I can think of 10 schools that would have been great fits for him, and he chose the pro style offense with no proven QB coach, with a solidified soph starter! That's on him. I think the dude is a total bust anyway. He can't read the field, and he doesn't look comfortable looking off his primary reciever. He isn't even as good as Jalen was as a freshman. He fizzles out at OSU.
