re: Opposing coach's view of Georgia and Kirby last season: "After Texas beat the hell

WGAF what an unnamed coach says?

If you gave me one QB to pick in this league he'd be the guy"


That coach would pick him over Tua?
Apparently you think this guy has a legit opinion since you posted it.

I'd pick Fromm over Tua. Tua is more athletic, but Jake is more consistent and a better decision maker.

The thing that gives me pause is Tua has a knack for rising to the big moments (although it can show itself in instances of him playing "hero ball"), and Fromm hasn't shown me that.

Bobandy!

Looked like an arse beating to me.

This is objectively false. Both QBs have similar game logs through 2018, however Tua had a slightly higher completion percentage (69% vs 67.4%) as well as a better QBR (199.4 vs 171.3).

Passing yardage:
-Fromm had 8 100-yard games, 5 200-yard games, and 1 300-yard game.
-Tua had 4 100-yard games, 5 200-yard games, and 6 300-yard games.

Passing completion %:
-Fromm had 4 games greater than 80%, 8 games 60-80%, and 2 games less than 60%. -Tua had 3 games greater than 80%, 9 games 60-80%, and 3 games less than 60%.

QBR:
-Fromm had 4 games above 200, 4 games between 180-200, 1 game 160-180 and 5 games below 160
-Tua had 10 games above 200, 1 game 180-200, and 4 games less than 160.

Tua > Fromm for all except the homers

Tua is frequently (not always but frequently) throwing to wide open receivers, which really helps his stats. He has one of the best receiving corps in NCAA history. If you switched the two players Fromm's stats would be as good or better than Tuas.

Tua has issues reading plays and adjusting. Pressure doesn't rattle Tua a lot, but it has an effect.
His need to always make the big play leads to bad decision making when he is facing a pass rush, so he ends up with a lot of boom or bust plays when his O-Line isn't clearly dominating the opposition.

I'm not saying Fromm is perfect, BTW. I'm not even saying he's better. I think Fromm is smarter and more even keeled, but they both have their advantages. I'm saying I'd rather have Fromm than Tua leading my team.

Fair enough. I disagree with your opinion that Tua is rattled by pressure and has issues reading plays, although I do agree that he gets greedy sometimes. Tua’s superior accuracy, arm strength, athleticism, decision making speed, and play-making ability make him preferable to Fromm’s even-keeled nature in my opinion though. I do think they are both very smart QBs.

Texas played every player who made the trip, everyone played in the game Georgia scored last TD w 20 seconds It was an arse whipping

Texas definitely did not empty the bench lol, it was 28-14 early in the 4th quarter. I would call it a “strong” or maybe even “dominating” win, but definitely not an arse-kicking, that’s ludicrous. It’s just that Georgia talked a fair amount of shite before the game and then lost to the underdog, plus the whole “Texas is back” theatrics afterwards. That kind of stuff tends to exaggerate the strength of a win. Think of it like this: about a month earlier Bama also beat Georgia by one TD and it was described as a “heartbreaker”, and a “gritty” battle where Alabama prevailed in a “heavyweight clash”.

At least it was Texas not UCF, Utah, etc...

I think the motivation was exceedingly different from Texas's perspective.
