I like Fat Jim. When the players execute, the offense usually does well.

Pretty much everybody wants to fire the OC at every college and NFL team.

And replacing them is a bitch because the good ones all get HC jobs and you are left with hiring another mediocre guy. It is the spin of the Roullette wheel. Then you have to restaff all of the assistants under him. Then your roster has to learn a whole new system.

Chaney isn't bad enough to have to go through all that shite.

Sure, you make a good point but isn't Chaney's contract up next year?

Inside Zone Read. Would be more effective with a QB that could read, and pull on the mesh and run.....Jake did it some last year against UT and Vandy I think.

3rd and 8 Ealy up the middle... Bobo's Bread and Butter


By the way, Swifts last TD was inside zone from midfield and turned it into a TD.

Or how about him calling QB draws designed for DJ with Joe T in the '05 UF game. That still grinds my gears after all these years.

I think Richt was still calling plays in 2005. May be wrong.

Give it a rest?

I am just illustrating you are bloviating. Essentially your argument is:

“Well clearly the coaches must not be seeing...”

“He must not be ready or...”

You don’t know what you don’t know. I am not making a declarative statement about Justin Fields - you are. Just asking you to prove yours - and you cannot - it’s unprovable because Fields hasn’t gotten to play enough to form an intelligent opinion. Just admit you don’t know and I will drop it.

Richt called the 05 season.
I think bobo's first game was that season's bowl game against WVU.

Fromm is allowed to make mistakes and turn the ball over with a fumble or interception but Fields isn't allowed to make any mistake ever.

Fields has never thrown an interception or lost a fumble. The same can't be said of Fromm. Fromm always gets a pass. Fields never does.

We don't know how Fields would perform if he had more opportunities. We do know that Fromm is a damn good player. Practice observers whose time isn't restricted have been reporting that Fields is a superior passer.

I hope that Kirby is handling the QB position in the best way but I doubt that he is. In and out for single plays but not allowing Fields to pass seems stupid.

What about his play in the games makes you think this is true? Do you really think Kirby is purposely not playing the better QB? The rumblings on ALL the message boards is that Fields hasn't looked great in practice. So, other than your absurd sensationalist view, where is the proof? We haven't seen anything in the games that leads to this being true. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

But you're known for being a terrible poster on this site so I'm not surprised you want to live in fantasy land with HTDawg and LongDawg.

You just WANT him to be good. You WANT him to be ready. The problem is we have a QB who IS good and IS ready. He also happens to be one of the best QBs in the nation. In real life. Actual REAL life.

Well, Fromm plays 95% of the time so of course he's going to make some mistakes. And how can you say that Fields doesn't get a pass if he hasn't had an interception or fumble?

So let’s start there jackwagon.



Well, since he doesn't look BAD (he kinda did on the goaline series) let's start him over one of the top 10 QBs in the entire freaking country. Since that's the standard for playing at UGA. Not being bad.

Jesus buttfricking Christ.

I could have worded that better. I meant that Fields gets this heavy criticism that seems unwarranted given that he has never turned the ball over.

Fromm is ineffective at times. Fields will also be ineffective at times. Fields is on such a short leash that I don't know how he would perform with a reasonable opportunity.

Fields doesn’t se the field well yet. That’s clear to people who understand football. Smart is easing him in to it. Hopefully it will slow down for him as he gets experience. Smart is keeping it so he can’t make too many bad decisions or make big mistakes. I’m overall impressed how it’s being handled.

99% of high school players are average to good players. .99% are very good, and that last .01% are 4* and 5* players. Those players almost all excel because they are far better physically than their opponents, not because of their football knowledge.
When they come to a top level school like Georgia, nearly every 4* and 5* needs their freshman year just to learn how to play at that level. Fromm didn't need that as much as Fields apparently does. Even Tua needed his freshman year to learn or he would have been starting by mid-season last year.
Give the coaches a break. They see every practice and every QB room meeting. I think they know when a player is ready to get real time.

Learn to read. I never said or implied that I thought that Kirby was playing the wrong starter. My two points are that Fields isn't being given a reasonable opportunity to develop and that the criticism of Fields' performance is excessive.

If Fields were the better passer in practice then Kirby would be purposely not playing the better QB. Unless Fromm's handoffs are just so spectacular they outweigh his inferior passing. I can read just fine. You said that he's the better passer in practice. Not me. My retort was asking you what you've seen in the games that would support he's the better passer. Why can he can he only make one read in the games before tucking and looking to run? The better passer would be able to make more than one read. Nothing that has happened, when it actually matters, that would lead anyone to believe he's the better passer. Unless you want to believe third hand I formation. I trust what I can see with my actual eyes.

Stop living in a fantasy world and come back down to earth. The weather is fine.

That makes more sense. However, I don't see anyone really criticizing him. It's possible that I've missed it though.

No one outside of the coaches really does. I still feel like he'll take over next year though.
