I don’t want to sound like an arse, but who picks these arbitrary statistics?

Since when are sacks and INTs arbitrary?

I'm at the point now where these stats further prove how our coaches can't develop talent properly. I'm happy the guys are doing great, but it seems like they are getting coached up now vs in college.

What are you talking aout? Boykin, Davis, Johnson, and Houston were all just as studly in college. If there's a gripe, it's that we weren't able to consistently surround them with comparable talent (except for Davis, anyway).

Actually I see our condition as a combination of both. Some of our better players have definitely performed better in the pros vs college. But I agree that their supporting cast was a significant part of the problem that prevented players like Stafford, Moreno, Green and MoMass, who all played together, from winning a championship. I conclude that Richt has not been good at building complete teams; there always seems to be significant deficiencies that have prevented championship contention. Not maintaining a full roster due to not accounting routine attrition has certainly contributed to that lack of support/depth.

ALL players improve from High School to college, and then from college to Pros. Combination of their bodies maturing, their minds maturing, more intensive practice and coaching time. In high school a coach gets 2-4 hours of practice time a day. In college it's 3-5. In the pros it's more like 7-8. In high school it is limited by class time and parents. In college it is class time and study time. In the pros they get paid, so they are expected to work out, study sessions and on field practice.

If a player does not play better from one level to the next, he won't be playing at the higher level much longer.

I keep seeing where people complain that the coaching staff does not do their jobs because players flourish in the pros. Ask a pro if he feels he is playing at a much higher level than he did in college and see what he says. Then ask him why.

They are arbitrary bc what these guys do in the pros really isn't a reflection of how good a football program uga is. In fact it makes me think the opposite.

Looks like I wasn’t clear...

When it comes to the actual statistic, what is the cutoff?
120 Tackles...Why not 100?
6 Int....why not 7?
11 Sacks...why not 10?

Those numbers aren't exactly benchmark stats. Would you agree? Anyone can make up random stats, it happens all of the time in business and with the government.
