RaRa Thomas and Dom Lovett were huge pickups for UGA.

How good is carson beck? He's only ever played in mopup duty so we don't really know. If he falters we'll have brock/gunner both of which have barely any experience on a college field at all.

It’s not a given he starts next year. I know a guy who works for the team and he says that all 3 are about equal but Beck gets the nod due to seniority

Beck gets the nod due to seniority

Beck looked better than anyone in the spring game. This, coming from a guy who was sour on Beck after he was smiling after an interception last season.

quote:

First of all, the spring game was 8 months ago.

he has looked pretty great in games as well, or at least as good as one could look in such situations.

And brock and gunner havne't done shite.

Secondly, my source sees them play for hours every day. You saw one scrimmage from ages ago.

---

then at the same time you also still say that beck is in the lead and likely starts. Whether it's based on seniority or not, we're all saying that beck is the starter.

Personally I think brock leaves and evetnaully (next year probably) gunner is the guy and better than beck, but to start 2023 I don't see how beck isn't the guy.

What have you ever seen from kirby that would lead you to believe that a young guy with zero playing experience will be the opening day starter over an upperclassman with solid game experience?

No I didn’t. I said he gets the nod as the #2 guy right now due to seniority.

---

the hell are you talking about #2? You said:

You literally said beck would get the nod [to start 2023, which is the entire point of the topic we're in] due to seniority. As in, will start.

quote:

---

He already did this in 2020. Granted it was a poor decision.

---

Jamie Newman was a seasoned vet that was supposed to start then he quit. JT Daniels was a portal transfer with experience that was tyhen supposed to start but was hurt. Our only other options were a highly touted and "higher ceiling" guy and a career backup walkon with 20 career completions all in mopup duty. Hindsight is 20/20 but going with mathis wasn't a terrible take at the time.

In 2016 it was obvious eason would be better but we started Lambert. In 2018 we could argue all day about fields but fromm was the starter. In 2021 daniels started over bennett.

For kirby to start anyone OTHER than beck in 2023 it would be completely out of character.

I understand, but you didn't word things properly and now you're trying to backtrack on it. Every post above yours was about next year. And to go a step further, in YOUR post the first sentence was regarding next year:

Any logical thinking human reading what is quoted above would deduce that you are saying that next year Beck, while relatively equal with the others, will get the nod IYO based on experience.

Now you're trying to backpedal and act like you only meant right now if bennett goes down.

What would I have to gain by backtracking that statement?

I can see how you misinterpreted what I said, but saying “it’s not a given” does not imply I think he starts. It just means everyone else thinks he does.

I haven’t even mentioned how silly it is that you’re comparing next year’s situation to previous years.

Greyson Lambert had 600 actual career pass attempts going into 2016

Jake Fromm had 300 career passing attempts and had led his team to a national title going into 2018

Comparing either to someone with no game experience outside of garbage time is dumb.

And on the other side, comparing Fields and Eason, both true freshmen in their respective situations, to 2nd and 3rd year guys is insane.

The situations aren’t even close to comparable.

Now you're trying to backpedal and act like you only meant right now if bennett goes down.

So if I really did mean next season instead of right now, why would I randomly backpedal. You think I previously meant something else and just randomly changed my mind? Wut?

I don’t think GA fans understand the magnitude of losing Stetson Bennett.

What a shocking change of narrative

Georgia is going to win 3 National Championships in a row. Their schedule doesn't present much of a challenge with Auburn and Florida being down. Tennessee is improving but they don't have the talent yet to seriously compete for the east.

if Rara is in a return role only, then yes they are more dangerous. if he is in a WR role and return role, they got LESS dangerous.
