Which is it for Kirby, bud? He just took two wide receivers in the portal.

Your question doesn't make any friggin sense. The two receivers went down in last two games of season which gave true freshman receivers little to no time to prepare and get the major reps they'd need to perform on that stage. Yeah, lol, Saban can't recruit. Lol. He doesn't develop talent either. He's only owned the draft for the last decade but keep grasping for any old argument you can make.

Truth is, Georgia was the second best team last season but they managed to win it all. That happens sometimes. So congrats.

That superior team got their asses handed to them when healthy. You're delusional. No one thinks UGA beats BAMA if those injuries don't take place. You won the game, congrats and all, but be realistic.
What you described is a superior player or few players, not team. It’s clear UGA had the better team, as we won with a walk-on QB (instead of the Heisman winner you had) and a cast of no-named characters instead of the game-changers you complain about losing.

Bama drug their nuts across their face and it is documented.

No, AL lost to TAMU and barely beat Auburn, Florida, Arkansas, & LSU. 3 of those would fire their HC within a year.

And if the corpus of 2021 and 2022 tell us anything, it’s that the 2021 SECC was the anomaly.

Just like the 2011 regular season LSU/AL game didn’t dictate the outcome of the 2011 NC, neither would the 2021 SECC and NC.

Recruit some depth or some receivers more durable than cheap China.

Either Saban can't recruit quality players to have sufficient depth to step up when injuries strike, OR Saban can't coach up the talent on campus to step up when injuries strike. Which is it?


This is called a false dilemma.

As for depth...

Losing players IN GAME hurts badly. It changes the offense, the game plan, and personnel on the fly. It's different than losing players during the season and giving the backups all the reps in practice and game planning around that personnel. Preparation and reps in those situations is huge. Again, UGA won. You deserved to win, but you wouldn't have won if Williams didn't go down. You wouldn't have won Saturday if Harrison didn't go down. Injuries happen and they are what they are, but we don't have to ignore facts.

It certainly can change the game when a starter is no longer in the game. You guys did that twice to us by subbing in backup QBs when the starters weren’t doing so well. Guess what? The backups, in those instances, helped your teams win.

You can’t have it both ways. It’s on the coaches to recruit talent and develop players so that you can still win games when the unexpected happens.

I love how in all these threads we always win because of the other teams injuries, not in spite of all our crucial injuries.

I thought your top players were hurt? And now you are bragging about depth? Wow! You need to get your excuses straight

Those backups you're referring to were both NFL MVP candidates this season. That's not typical, not for BAMA and not for UGA.

Ah, you're one of those.

Bama doesn't play Next Man Up any longer, I see. Lose a starter and queue up the excuses.

It's absolute crazy talk to expect that there would be someone behind the injured player(s) that could execute at that level or better, right?

Do you think there is just like 1 Alabama fan on this forum or something?

I don't play those games, and you should stop looking to Alabama fans for validation.

That was 5 years ago. Apparently y'all don't have any heroes coming off the bench any longer, per some of the Tide injury apologists.

Who cares what they are doing in the NFL? Tua was a freshman when he took us down. He’s developed a bit since then.

My point was that depth matters and Alabama has absolutely no excuses for lacking depth with being consistently the best in the nation in recruiting.

You have to take the bad (Metchie and Williams) with the good (Tua and Hurts).

Georgia has no need to look to Bama for anything. We are Georgia. Georgia! The one team that is your superior.

You're pointing out once in a lifetime depth at the QB position. That's not a very good argument.

It’s better than you will admit:

Uga won with the backup qb in 2021.
Ohio state won with the 3rd string qb in 2014.
Bama won with the backup qb in 2017.
