I keep assuming that the goal is a national title. It blows my mind that it really, really isn’t for UGA. I mean sure a walk-on 5’7 walk on is fine if you don’t expect to compete for anything beyond the division.
5 top 5 classes in a row and if anything happens to the transfer QB with a history of injuries, UGA will rely on a walk on. Makes perfect sense with UGA logic I guess.

Hey Dawg fans?
Did y’all break another TE in a scrimmage?

We have six TE's that would be day one starters at Tennessee. Will the mounting injuries hurt us vs Clemson or other good teams? Yes. Are our backups still better than Tennessee's starters? Yes.

This second guessing of your safe assumption is making you reach dumb conclusions.
Lets be real, no program is going to win a national title extensively playing their 4th string QB, especially in this transfer portal era, but it is valuable to have a proven player like him on the bench, and to argue otherwise as you are is just more silliness from you.

Has Clemson guy been to court over his drug and firearm arrest in March? Is he cleared to play yet? UGA added 3 guys to the secondary via the portal… can they not develop any of the 12 guys that were recruited in those top ranked classes the last 4 years? No decent options at CB or S now that the starter is injured, of a caliber that can make a championship run. Especially in a league that has moved to a pass heavy league. You need at least 9 guys you can put out there without fear. UGA barely has 5 starters to put out there. Especially if dude hasn’t cleared up his arrest.
Clemson guy is good to go. How do you not know that?
Looks like all of the DB's we have signed, and have been tough enough to stick it out, are going to be playing this year.
That gives us potentially 5 starting upperclassmen DB's, and a ton of younger potential behind them.

Looking more and more like the season opener could be a season ender if y’all expected to play for a title. A lose to Clemson, the obligatory shite the bed game and a lose in the SEC title game should be too much to overcome.

No suspension for an arrest with weed and an illegal handgun(he was 20 at the time of the arrest)?

So he is behind the 2 freshman with zero experience? Kirby can’t manage a roster at all. Like how does dude recruit at such a high level and suck so bad at every other aspect of the job? Last year was a throw away year and he played a walk on instead of getting Beck reps. Was he just keeping Daniels happy by avoiding a QB controversy?

Charges expunged. The fact that you didn’t know this makes me think you truly don’t know everything about uga as you claim.

So you agree its a benefit to have a proven QB on the bench? Not many programs can say they have that. Its also very good to have 2 talented young guys as options.
All in all, its a solid group 1-4, with a strong mix of experience, moxie, and talent. IOW, its far better than most programs.
If Kirby couldnt manage a roster, as you incorrectly claim, GA would not live around the top 5, and would be much closer to losing programs like the vols.

Only if he’s the guy you expect to be the next guy up. A walk-in with no future has zero business taking meaningful snaps for a team that recruits at UGAs level. The fact he did is a failure of the program.

If your goal is a title run then no. Building a DND team sure… but realistically if Daniels (with a history of injuries) goes down that goes away (assuming that was the goal). A starter with 3 SEC games, 2 freshman with no playing time, and a walk-on pretty much means you can’t survive an injury. No margin for error.

Not really an if at this point. Recruiting at the level UGA does and still needing multiple transfers to come in and start at this point means something isn’t working. Guys that should be developed are not in those starting roles. Not having a number 2 QB ready is inexcusable. UGA should be loaded with JR and redshirt SO talent but it’s just not. The extra year from last year had little to no positive impact on his roster. But year after year it’s a freshman and sophomore heavy team. UGA should be losing guys to the portal because the 2 deep is set and guys are looking for playing time elsewhere. Instead UGA has gaping roster holes to fill.
I don’t believe you understand that. This roster should be penciled in a year in advance with a couple of guys breaking into the 2 deep unexpected every year. Instead it’s a scramble to fill a 2 deep year after year. UGAs roster situation is not consistent with the recruiting situation. Either the recruiting classes are not panning out, the staff isn’t getting guys ready to play or UGA is just incredibly unlucky with recruits. You recruit at a high level and expect continuity. UGA just doesn’t have that.

As a vol, you should know what true failure looks like. This aint it.
That he started was simply a sign of the new times play in (free transfers, early entrees, brain surgeries, and COVID issues) rather than a failure of the program.

Quit being so unrealistic and walk into to 2021. Thats not to be expected anymore with transfer rules.
I bet you will be shocked to learn that Bama, Clemson, OU, and OSU dont have a #2 Qb ready to go either. Can you believe it?!
No title runs for 5 of the best programs in the nation using your logic.

Somehow you missed it, but players are allowed to transfer without consequence anymore, so transfers have increased all over the place.

Somehow you missed it, but we might start 5 upperclassmen DB's this year, which is evidence of development. If they dont start, then that means the underclassmen are very talented.

Once again, you fail to understand the impact of transfer rules. This aint 1997 anymore. Hell, it aint 2017 anymore.

Its called the transfer portal, and any coach worth a shite should utilize it to strengthen a roster.

It is consistent with the modernized transfer rules.
Former UGA players are starting at AU, LSU, Miami, and your own OL this year.

Yep, and we back it up on the field, consistently. Come on, I know a vol really has no reason to do so, but check out the rankings one day.

Clemsons #2 took snaps last year in games, Bama last year had Young getting snaps to prepare for this year. But yes Bama for the 1st time in a long time doesn’t have an experienced #2 QB. I bet they get one ready to go quickly.
And no this isn’t modern football because of the transfer portal. This has been every UGA team for years. Recruit at a high level but always have huge gaping roster holes. Where other teams have a handful of SRs, mostly JRs and RSSO as the bulk of the team, with a couple SO and RSFR expected to play… UGA has to find Transfers and freshman to fill their 2 deep. This has been the norm fell before the free transfer free. Kirby can recruit a group of guys to out talent average and bad teams, but can’t build a program to overcome good team. Inability to build a team is why they shite the bed at least once a year and can’t win games that matter.
