After watching yesterday's game and thinking about it, and how shitty Fromm has been doing, and after hearing all of the arguments on both QBs, I think I may get on Field train. In 2 weeks when we play the Lizards, if Fromm continues with his shitty playing, I will be calling for Fields to take over. If Kirby keeps Fromm in the entire UGA v Lizard game the first half and he does a shitty job, the fans who attend the game should start chanting "Bring in Fields." LET THE BOY SHOW US WHAT HE'S GOT.

At least there aren't five million other threads relating to this already.

I know. Ive been neutral on both quarterbacks. But I think its time to let the boy show us what he is capable of.

Your continued use of the word "boy" makes me feel uncomfortable particularly after what our former baseball player had to say......

Fromm is the better passer and can read defenses better than Fields. We saw that last year and he’s a proven commodity. He’s played in the biggest stages and won ball games.

We don’t need to take more snaps away from Fromm to try and give Fields a chance to learn college football. If he gets there in practice then we’ll know. Alll we’ve done is frick up his timing and rythym by trying to give a freshman more snaps.

I go with the proven winner. The rest of you go by the feels.

Just saying, give the guy more playing time other than handing off the ball. Lets see what he can do throwing it.

Yeah, we should totally reward the guy playing terribly with more snaps with no guarantee that he snaps out whatever funk he's in. That really drives home the accountability message with the team.

For the hundredth time, Fields doesn't have to be a more effective passer than Fromm to be a better QB for this team. He can run. That changes everything.

Dude, you dont think defenses will adjust to that? His running ability doesnt mean shite if he cant pass it. You are smarter than this.

He has been terrible in certain situations. It wouldn’t be a stretch for another qb to be better at it in those situations. It’s a very low bar.

It might not be a stretch but Fields hasn’t shown me or the coaches that he can read defenses, get us in the right play and make a throw.

Until he does Fromm has 2017 and his passing stats through LSU to counter. I’m open but I need more that wishes, feels and buts.

He has done well at being the qb when he has played. He hasn’t been any less than successful. There is nothing but biased pessimism to argue otherwise.

As for until then, Fromm has struggled at passing in more than just the LSU game.

Makes sense to give him the benefit of doubt.

I don’t think the coach’s not letting him throw more proves the point you think it proves.
