Do you really think that Fields wouldn't struggle every now and then against SEC defenses even in OSU's offense?
They might stumble, but man, with there running backs and plethora of receivers, I think they'd still win. They seem to be elite everywhere.

From what I have seen it's not like yall just line up in the I and run it the whole game. Yall go from the gun and run different concepts. To me, it seems like the playbook wouldn't have to change that much. You could do all of those same things, but having Fields back there would just give the defense one more thing to worry about. Then, those hand offs from the gun where no one is worried about Fromm keeping it turns in to a read play where the defense has to account for Fields pulling it. And he obviously has all of the tools to make all of the throws

What kind of QB do you think is a fit for the UGA offense? It seems like when you get a kid like Fields on campus you can make some changes to the offense to make it a fit
The UGA philosophy may not fit the scheme in 2019. If you want to be ball control and run heavy without varying the blocking scheme at all or utilizing much misdirection (if any) you may have to run some kind of spread option O with a true dual threat.

Kirby Smart is not an elite head coach
The puzzling thing is all it would take is a look in the mirror and a glance at Baton Rouge. Kirby has recruiting figured out, if he would just try something different with the offense it would be over in the east. I’m not mad about it as I want my Gators to be the east representative but it’s really baffling.

There are racists in every school and in every fan base as evidenced by posts in this and other boards. Fields didn't leave because of racism--he left because Kirby shortchanged him. I wish my college's football coach was a lot smarter than Smart.

Fields is terrific and has a specific skill set that is not meant for our offense.
What Fields is doing at OSU and the offense that he is doing it in is not nearly as different as UGA fans would like the make you think. He's taking snaps from the shotgun and throwing from the pocket and using RPO plays, which is what he would have been doing at UGA. The differences are minor. We have an incompetent OC. There's the main difference.

Ding ding ding we have a winner. Real coaches don’t have pre determined “systems” they mold there “system” around what there players do well.
Saban does that, but look at Tua. Whatever it takes to maximize your talent.

Yes, and it's working out with a quarterback who also couldn't beat out haskins at OSU...Anyway, for LSU its been a dream come true this year, at least so far. Love Burrow, he reminds me of Tom Brady

That’s on Kirby. No excuse for that at Georgia with what you pay assistants.

I lot of coaches are dumb. Why did Mullen think that Franks was better than Trask? Trash is head and shoulders better than your ridiculous giraffe of a QB.

Would it have 100% worked? Who knows but we know what they are getting from Fromm and it ain’t beating Bama or Clemson for a championship.
Fromm came a frog hair away from beating Bama for a title, and came extremely close to competing in the playoffs again last year. The only thing that Fields has done in his career, SO FAR, is QB a team that has beaten the shite out of shitty teams. and I'm not so sure that Clemson wouldn't have beaten Bama with Bryant in last year's title game with the way their defense played. Lawrence wasn't the difference in that game IMO.

LSU administers need to do whatever it takes to keep Joe Brady, even if that means firing E and making Brady head coach in waiting. That 30 year old genius has completely transformed LSU. He is the MVP of y’alls season. His passing concepts are so far above what everyone else is doing it’s laughable. You’re right too Burrow understands it and is playing brilliantly in the offense.

Good point... The kid is so dynamic that it looks like he can do almost anything he wants.

I agree 100% Mullen got lucky. Franks was mobile and had experience and Mullen probably never gave Trask a chance. That’s on Mullen.

Kelly Bryant proved that he couldn't put balls in tight windows when teams stacked the box and played press man on the outside. Trevor made a huge difference because teams had to respect the deep threat and it allowed ETN room to run. Which is why we put up 44 points

Sure he had better receivers and a better running game. My point is Fromm isn’t going to put a team on his back and win a game. Fields seems to have the potential to do it, it was risky to not even try in today’s game.

Wrong, look at their SOS... 17th highest in the country. better than any of the top 5 teams.

Wow,really? Spurrier didn't have a "system"@ UF? Riley doesn't have a "system" at OU? Mike Leach doesn't have a "system" af WSU?
Did you really think that Smart should have changed the entire offense coming off NC game with a returning QB that finished with a top 10 QBR?
Who knows what would have happened this year but with all the attrition we had at WR and TE I doubt he makes much of a difference.
Posted on 10/16/19 at 10:50 am to cyclingout
He would have been just fine in our offense had he been our starter. Fromm just didn’t suck enough to lose his job.
