re: With half our defensive starters and No QB..

in the end Kirby’s fault for taking in a kid who would be potentially an issue.

And if Fields had stayed at Ped State, or gone somewhere else instead of UGA, everyone would have been totally cool with it, right? Or if Fields had been started and laid an egg, everyone would have been cool with that, too, right? Absolutely no one would have said "What the frick is Kirby doing benching the guy who had us one play away from a national title for a guy who hasn't done a damn thing yet!"

There's a reason that it pays to gather the *right* players for a team, rather than simply getting the best available. If there are guys who combine the two traits, so much the better, but there's no shortage of examples where talented players have been horrible fits for teams. It happened to us, and it will inevitably happen again.
