He won the starting job coming out of 2019 fall camp.Stop acting like he was suddenly thrust into the starting position out of nowhere.


Matt Landers would not have started for any Georgia team in the last 10 years other than 2019. He had no business starting.

What?


You’re right. I was thinking of someone else

Wow,you really haven't watched much CFB.You've never heard of a WR not starting after barely playing the year before?
How bout Justin Jefferson at LSU?


I was talking about at Georgia. Landers is the only guy to go from 3rd-4th string to starting in one year in a long time.

I think you’re missing the point of the post. You’re acting like I’m saying he’s gonna be an all-American. The dude has 2-3 years of eligibility left and everyone is ready to kick him off the team after one year. I’m hoping he can come off the bench and have a nice year this year.

And your argument that “he’s been in the program for 3 years so he can’t improve” is dumb. Plenty of guys waited until their 3rd 4th or 5th year to make an impact. Rantavious Wooten and Isaiah McKenzie come to mind.

The whole point of my post about be “forced” to start is this. For a guy like Landers, the usual path is:

Freshman year(s): Scout Team/play in cupcake games
Sophomore year: 0 starts. Appearances in most games. Roughly 10 receptions or so
Junior Year: Compete for starting job
Senior Year: Compete for starting job

So my point is that everyone can look at how Matt Landers played last year and say that he sucks, but the truth is he wasn’t ready to start.

Have no idea how you know this.
He's not lacking in athleticism or the tools to to excel at WR.

Landers can add this last piece to his game, there’s no reason why he can’t have an All-SEC caliber season. There’s no reason why NFL teams wouldn’t show interest in him.


He just seems to continually shoot himself in the foot and needs to finish plays.
