Why did Fromm win the Rose and damn near win the National Title, while Fields lost his only playoff game
So Fromm is better than any player who hasn't won a playoff game? Who they played doesn't matter either? This argument is dumb.

Why is it that every single democrat says Kirby fricked up the Fields situation and every single republican or "unknown" says Fromm was the right decision?
I noticed it back then, and I'm noticing it again now.
I can't figure out why.

Ohio State let a QB go who ended up winning the Heisman and a Natty! They are sooooooo stupid!!!,

If he's playing bad absolutely. Even if he's not playing bad you set up an honest competition.
That's what every player wants.

Even back the, it was obvious that Fromm was the weaker QB

Step away from the Georgia fan base and almost everyone regardless of affiliation will tell you it was a mistake.

Point is you give a guy the opportunity the show what he can do. We didn't do that so he left.
This here is also BS.
Fields got tons of playing time, and absolutely showed what he could do, many many opportunities. I think he played in every single game. In my opinion, that was the big mistake. Should have redshirted him to begin with, that was the first year being able to play 4 games and keep your redshirt, Kirby still could have gotten him some time and used him as a backup. I think they played him too much.

Not as big of one as letting Burrow walk like OSU did....

The real question is why did he only get 12 attempts v SEC opponents when he was competing 70% overall without turning the ball over?

Burrow was hurt a bunch and behind a top 15 draft pick.
Stop grasping at straws.

Obviously he was not hurt too much to win a Natty and a Heisman.....

You didn't answer how Fields was definitely outperforming Fromm in 2018...

This should tell you more about those people than it does about us.
We follow our program 100x more closely than the outsiders. Sure there's some homerism to account for, but on matters of who the starter should have been at the time, especially those who prefer to use the benefit of hind sight, those outsider opinions are useless. They didn't watch every single second of every single game. They didn't follow every single practice report they could get their hands on. Then didn't spend hours a day on a Georgia message board. They didn't go back and watch hours and hours of replays and highlights. They don't follow every single nugget of UGA recruiting.
We do.
Our opinion carries more weight, despite our numbers being lower.
Having your opinion validated by know-nothing outsiders gives you some sense of pompousness. Why?

Going into 2018, Fromm was on the 1st round mock draft boards. I also thought it was ridiculous, but it was what it was.

Was it that obvious? Because I’m pretty sure no coach including Saban is benching a QB who throws 30 TD with 6 picks. People give Saban a big pass for 2017 and the loss to Auburn and backing into the playoff because Tua bailed him out in the natty, but there was a reason Saban didn’t trust him to start before that point despite his obvious talent. According to Saban he threw too many picks in practice.
So back to Fields. Riddle me this. We hear all the time that players will rebel or get salty if they know the best guy isn’t playing especially at QB. So why then did we have only one shitty game in 18? (leaving out Texas because it’s obvious to most we didn’t care about being there) If Fields was so magical at that time, then how did half retarded Fromm play so well against Alabama in the SECCG?

I fully expected Fromm/Fields would have been 1a/1b going into Spring and Fall camp
Nothing about how the 2018 season was handled indicates that that would have been the case.
I mean Fromm was a disaster against LSU and Fields still didn’t get a shot.

Is that what you think? The least objective people are fans of their own team. This is just another example.

Tennessee was also a pretty shitty game. Ironically, Fields was UGA’s biggest playmaker in that one.

This is the one part of this whole spider web of bullshite I can agree with. I remember watching that game on vacation in my 1.8 million beach house on Sullivan's Island, thinking we just have to put Fields in, just to change it up, like what Bama had done with Tua to kill us just a few months prior. I don't need the benefit of hindsight on that one, I said it that day. Fromm was just bad that day.
but that's still not a justification for a statement saying "Fields should have started day one, for the whole season, and fromm should have been on the bench, because kirby didn't honor competition, and blah blah moron talk blah blah"
