The talent at receiver and te is pretty barren these days. A guy like Cager is 'good depth' on most teams. At UGA, he's the bonafide go to guy.

You plug in one of the big time TEs and a couple of more receivers to the existing unit, and you have a much better offense. Coley probably isn't the guy, but he has nothing to work with right now.

Did you miss the under thrown deep pass on the first drive? It should have been a td, but it was at least 5 yards short, and should have been picked. That’s where he struggles.

Fromm definitely is better at this point than Trask.


Were people actually comparing the two?

That was god awful and couldve changed the game. He still has issues showing up for big games - LSU last year was the worst, and the coaches made a mistake not bringing Fields into that game.

there are things you can question about Fromm, accuracy really isn’t one of them. Most of you have not seen Fromm but in a couple of games, likely vs Bama , where he specifically threw some of the best balls in CFB.

Question arm strength , question mobility , question accuracy? Nah

The 3rd down conversion at the end was a duck too.

I swear to god I'm living in Bizzaro world.

Fromm is throwing 70% with the SC game added into the equation. The announcer before the game also said he had the highest completion rate of any QB in the SEC with passes over 20 yards. Admittedly his number of attempts are below the other prolific SEC passers.

He has always been in the discussion as a first round pick and you guys are talking about him like he is Trask? Brilliant

Fromm is better than Trask. Trask and I swear reminds me of Danny W, how he floats the ball but it somehow gets there. Fromm has had some accuracy issues but he can overcome that.

Joe Burrow and Tua have ruined expectations of college football. They’re both having outstanding years. But they also miss throws every now and then.

The kind of throws elite QBs don’t miss so badly, and it’s not the only times that has happened.

We were fortunate we weren’t playing a better team than Florida, so it didn’t cost us the game.

He missed swift on a pass earlier. Almost missed herrien too, but he made a tough catch.

The problem is you’re trying to simplify complicated qb analysis down to 3 throws. And no one is saying Jake Fromm is elite.

We need him to be elite. He also missed landers for a td right before halftime. That’s 2 tds we didn’t get. I am so thankful Florida wasn’t good enough to make us pay for those mistakeS.

Fromm looks the part, plays the part but this year it seems the frick ups that Kirby caused, his idiotic calls have caused his team to lose trust... just maybe Kirby ain't little Nick 2...

Doubt is a mofo and it has creeped into GA's program...the loss to SC proved it

He was elite in the first half of the SEC Championship last year. We need that Jake Fromm.

He missed Simmons on the 1 yard line to start the 3rd q. It’s starting to add up.

Clearly true imo. UGA looked disinterested Saturday.
